#### Changing Leader Line Color Ball Properties

THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN REMOVED (SET TO HIDDEN) PER TK 103006.

PC-DMIS lets you quickly change the color ball properties on templates that are enabled to display color balls at the end of leader lines by using the Color Ball Properties dialog box.

Color Ball Properties dialog box

To access this dialog box:

1. Ensure that the report template has a CADReportObject.

2. The CADReportObject must have the Draw Color Ball check box selected from within the Label Layout Wizard.

3. In the Report window, right-click on a label and select Edit Color Ball from the shortcut menu. The Color Ball Properties dialog box appears.

This dialog box contains the Properties and Apply Change To areas.

Properties area

This area allows you to change the ball size and also define a specific axis or range of axes to consider for the deviation color mapping on the ball. By default, PC-DMIS will go through all the axes for a dimension, and if the largest deviation is found on any axis, the color ball will show the color matching that axis's deviation. However, using the Starting Axis and Ending Axis lists you can focus on a particular axis or axes.

- If you select a Starting Axis and select a different Ending Axis, PC-DMIS will go through from the first axis to the second axis for the dimension. If the largest deviation is found on any axis, the color ball will show the matching deviation color.

- If you select the same axis for both Starting Axis and Ending Axis the color ball will show the matching deviation color for just that axis.

A toolbar at the bottom of this window lets you control the demo. When you finish viewing this demo, click the blue icon again to close this expanded window.

Apply Changes To: area

This area lets you apply the color ball properties changes to the selected label, all similar labels on the page, or all similar labels throughout the entire section.
