DEFINE PATTERN_LINE

DEFINE PATTERN_LINE defines a pattern line, which can be referred to by name further on in other scripts.

Pattern line definitions prior to the definition of this pattern line may be included in any script; however, pattern lines defined that way can be used solely in those scripts, in which they are defined, and their subsequent second generation-scripts.

Corresponding commands

[set] PATTERN_LINE name_string

[set] PATTERN_LINE index

Index is a constant referring to a pattern line stack in the internal data structure; this stack is modified during script analysis and can also be modified from within the program. Any use of the index instead of the pattern line's name is only recommended with the prior use of the INDEX function.

Remarks

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