The RDIM is defined by the ON command plus optional AKEY syntax, for example:
|
NEW RDIM |
- create RDIM element |
|
ON ID @ |
- use cursor to define dimension centre |
|
AKEY RADI |
- change AKEY to give a radius dimension |
In many cases it will be unnecessary to define AKEY explicitly, since the DIAM setting will give a sensible result.
Although RDIM elements do not have p-point or p-line attributes it is possible to use p-point or p-line syntax to select the Design element. This is necessary for vertices (VERT, SEVE, PAVE) that cannot be picked directly by cursor. However, the Design element can be picked using the IDP @ command.
