HANDLEFACTOR

HANDLEFACTOR sets a factor by which a measured handle distance is multiplied in order to get a parameter value. HANDLEFACTOR is a directive and is valid until it is changed to another value.

Syntax

HANDLEFACTOR expr

Parameter

expr (decimal, default = 1): factor to multiply a measured handle distance

Remarks

You can use HANDLEFACTOR for example for a circle with a handle on the circular arc: the measured distance between handle and center point is the radius, the parameter represents the diameter. Therefore, before the handle definition you insert
HANDLEFACTOR 2.0
Then the measured value (radius) is multiplied by 2, and the parameter gets the value
2*radius = diameter

Don't forget to reset HANDLEFACTOR to 1.0 after the affected handle.

Usable since script version 1.1 (Allplan 2012-1).
