Topic: Using Code Set Styles - Why They are Important

Written by: Heather Nagel, Civil Technical Engineer

Code Set Styles are a lot more useful that just making your assembly look nice. Use these Code Set styles to

also add labels to your typical section. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the difference between using the Basic Code

Set Style and the All Codes Code Set Style. Both are in the NCS extended template. Using the All Codes helps

you identify the different parts of your assembly.

Another important use of Code Set Styles is being able to quickly add labels to your assembly. Under the

General tab on the Settings tab of the Toolspace, you can create marker, link and shape styles (Figure 3). By

using the All Codes Code Set Style, the marker, link and shapes are already set up for you. But what you may

want to add is label styles for various objects, such as lanes (Figure 4).

an assembly.
