The Restrict Function - *12​.1​.SP2*

Description

In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP2 it is possible to capture also invisible geometry in the Restrict function (Edit/Delete/By Area).

Note that with "invisible" we here mean both geometry that are marked as invisible and geometries that are not shown because its layer is hidden (via View/Layer).

A new Drafting Default keyword ALLOW_RESTRICT_INVISIBLE_GEOM has been introduced for this purpose.

Keyword:

ALLOW_RESTRICT_INVISIBLE_GEOM

System default value:

"No"

Explanation:

Controls if invisible elements should be treated in the Delete-By-Area function or not.

Legal values:

"No" Do not treat invisible elements in the Delete-By-Area function

"Yes" Treat invisible elements in the Delete-By-Area function

It is also possible to change this condition while inside the Delete-By-Area function. For this purpose the OPTION button has been enabled in the multiple choice dialog in which the user selects the Restrict condition: "Keep inside" or "Keep outside".

Clicking the OPTIONS button here swaps the "treat invisible geometry" condition (from "invisibles ignored" to "invisibles captured" and vice versa).

Benefits

Improved productivity in the Restrict function.

Compatibility Constraints

None
