The captions are saved with the names ath_caption_xx.dwg (xx stands for any number) in the folder ATHENA\DataLocal. The captions must satisfy the following conditions:
• An attribute for the file name must be present, Attribute name: FILE
• An attribute for the date and time must be present, Attribute name: DATE_TIME
• A block must be formed with the attributes, Block name: LEGEND
• You can define other attributes with any names.
• The texts in the text boxes are saved in multiple languages. You can display the text in another language with the command Set text language.
