LevelSet
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
Create new LevelSet
To create a new LevelSet run command RLCREATE or RL. Dialog window has similar settings as native Autodesk® AutoCAD® dimension style manager, they are self-explanatory therefore below are just a few explanations:
- General tab -> Relative Base level: This value is added to vertical measurement from base point to the Level.
- Lines and Symbols tab -> Symbol -> Default(Triangle): Set the default symbol for Level (block name _RLTRIA)
- Lines and Symbols tab -> Symbol -> User Symbol: Good practice to create user symbol is to draw all components on layer 0, color ByBlock in scale 1:1
- Lines and Symbols tab -> Symbol Orientation -> Horizontally mirrored: If you use symmetrical symbol for example default triangle you won'tsee any graphical change.
- Lines and Symbols tab -> Symbol Orientation -> Rotate with Leader: To enable this option Leader must be checked on Leader tab.
- Text tab -> Correction for TTF font: If LevelSet is not aligned with WCS and you use True Type Font (TTF) all texts will be displayed as bold. By checking this option you can eliminate this problem. Additionally to this option is command RLTTF which turns On or Off globally for current AutoCAD session correction of TTF font for LevelSets. In Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2015 this problem of TTF is fixed therefore you do not need to use this option.
For more information about LevelSet see provided PDF help file. After installation of this app you can find it here:
%appdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\Levelset.bundle\Contents\LevelSet-Help.pdf
Modification of LevelSet
- Each Level has three gripping points for: Level position, Level line length and Level text position.
- When you select LevelSet modification commands are displayed in context menu.
- You can find modification command on Plug-ins -> LevelSet ribbon tab.

Commands
| Ribbon/Toolbar Icon | Command | Command Description |
|---|---|---|
|
RLMATCHPROP or RLMA |
Applies the properties of a selected LevelSet to other LevelSet(s). AutoCAD properties such as layer or color are not matched |
|
RLMOVELEVEL or RLM |
Moves base point of the Level. (Also available by using grip point) |
|
RLTOGGLEGRIP or RLG |
Enables or disables grip edit points. This option is turn ON by default |
|
RLLEVELOVERRIDE or RLO |
Overrides some properties of individual Level. Following properties can be override: Text contents, Text X-offset, Text Y-offset, Symbol orientation, Leader length. Text contents can be manually formatted. |
|
RLMOVETEXT or RLT |
Moves the Level text. (Also available by using grip point) |
|
RLTOGGLESYMBOLHORIZONTAL or RLSH |
Changes the horizontal orientation of Level symbol (along vertical axis) This command is disabled if symbol orientation is set to Rotate with Leader |
|
RLINSERTLEVEL or RLI |
Inserts new Level into LevelSet |
|
RLDELETELEVEL or RLD |
Deletes Level in LevelSet |
|
RLTOGGLESYMBOLVERTICAL or RLSV |
Changes the vertical orientation of Level symbol (along horizontal axis) This command is enabled if symbol orientation is set to Fixed |
|
RLTTF |
Enables or disables correction of True Type Font (TTF) display issue for current AutoCAD session. This option is turn OFF by default. Recommended is to turn ON this option prior the printing and turn it OFF afterwards. You have to turn on this option also in individual LevelSet properties window. See Text (tab) -> Correction for TTF font (NOTE: Apparently with Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2015 the problem with TTF font display is fixed therefore this command is not needed for Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2015 |
|
RLCREATE or RL |
Creates a new LevelSet |
|
RLMATCHOVERRIDE or RLMO |
Applies the override properties of a selected Level to other Level(s). |
|
RLTEXTHOME or RLH |
Moves Level text to original position as it is set in LevelSet properties |
|
RLINSERTLEVELATVALUE or RLV |
Inserts new Level into LevelSet at known value |
|
RLMIRROR |
Mirrors the LevelSet along vertical axis started from the LevelSet base point. (Note: AutoCAD commands MIRROR and SCALE are disabled for the LevelSet but you can change Scale X, Y, Z in AutoCAD standard Properties window. However this scale change will disable modification commands for LevelSet) |
|
RLMOVEBASEPOINT or RLB |
Re-locates the base point of the LevelSet. After re-location of the base point all Levels will be re-calculated |
|
RLLEVELLENGTH or RLL |
Changes the length of Level line. (Also available by using grip point) |
|
RLPROPERTIES or RLP |
Sets the properties for LevelSet |
