Representation Rules for 2D Symbology

The syntax for defining Representation Rules to control how 2D Symbology is implemented is as follows:

USE SYMBOLOGY FOR crit

USE SYMBOLOGY AND style-name FOR crit

sets the Style Reference (STYF) attribute

where

crit = the design element name or selection criteria

style-name = the name of the style (STYL) to be used to draw the Design element

Note that the ‘&’ character can be used as an alternative to AND in the above.

For example, to create a Representation Rule to use 2D Symbology for an office table, the following might to used:

NEW RRUL /SYMB_RRUL_OFFICE_TABLE

USE SYMBOLOGY &/DRA/PRJ/STYL/STEEL/NORMAL FOR /OFFICE-TABLE
