DEFINE POINT_SYMBOLS

DEFINE POINT_SYMBOLS defines point symbols, which can be referred to by name further on in other scripts.

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

Syntax

DEFINE POINT_SYMBOLS name startID , startSize, endID, endSize

Parameters

name (string): name of the point symbol, by which can be referred to this point symbol

startID (integer): number of the point symbol at start

startSize (decimal): size of the point symbol at start (default 1.0)

endID (integer): number of the point symbol at end

endSize (decimal): size of the point symbol at end (default 1.0)

Corresponding Commands

[set] POINT_SYMBOLS name_string

[set] POINT_SYMBOLS index

Index is a constant referring to a point symbols 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 point symbol's name is only recommended with the prior use of the INDEX function.

Remarks

Usable since script version 3.1 (Allplan 2019-1).
