Drawing Components

The Drafting contains functions that, when used, result in a number of geometries that can be treated as a unit. These units of information are referred to as drawing components and they are subpictures on level 3. When created, information from other subpictures is used in all these functions except in the function Insert-Text File. The first level 2 subpicture that information has been fetched from will be the owner of the drawing component. A text file will however belong to the current subpicture on level 2. The current handling of Drafting will be explained below. The following functions or groups of functions in the Drafting create drawing components:

• DIMENSIONING

• NOTE

• POSITION NUMBER

• 2D PRIMITIVES
