The only attribute within the Draw database that uses Fillstyles is FSTYLE and this occurs at:
|
Annotation elements: |
where the hatching of an area is feasible, (for example, CIRCles, OUTLines). |
|
Style elements: |
used during the Update Design process, (for example, HSTYL) |
|
High-level elements: |
to allow the FSTYLE value to be cascaded down the database hierarchy as it is created. |
The FSTYLE attribute can be set to:
-
a System Fillstyle, thus:
FSTYLE SYS/temstyle 10
(in the range 1-30)
FSTYLE BRICK/work
(for system styles that have a description,
for example, nos. 23-30 as given)
FSTYLE SOL/idfilled
-
a User-defined Fillstyle, thus:
FSTYLE 3
(the FSTYNO value of the required FILLST)
FSTYLE /My-FillStyle
Various special values: OFF, DEF/ault. These are not valid in all circumstances.
