Example 2

The macro SCREW below has 4 parameters. One of them, the drawing name, is given in the MACRO statement. This parameter tells where the result of the macro shall be stored when executed by the stand alone program. A drawing will be created using the form A3 and the scale chosen is 1:1. The NAME statement has no effect when the macro is executed interactively at a workstation. The result is then put into the current drawing.

The macro can be found by following this link: macro_screw.txt

The figure below shows the result of the execution of the macro SCREW. The current drawing contained the rectangle and the length of the screw was given by using the different point modes, in this case the node mode. The start point was given with the close point mode.
