If you want to show some text on specific elements in design the MARK command can be used to easily accomplish this.
An example of the syntax for the MARK command is: MARK WITH ( displaytext ) ALL ( selection ) WITH ( criteria ) FOR CE
Where, displaytext can be anything that evaluates to a text string. A few examples:
NAME OF CATREF
'Bore: ' + STRING(CPAR[1]) selection is one or more element types that should be marked. criteria is the selection rule that applies.
To remove all marks from the display, write UNMARK ALL
That is an excellent post TBack, another good tip is the
[COLOR="Red"]AID CLEAR ALL[/COLOR] command
I had to use this alot in class, when extra aids are left on the screen after a user closes a window incorrectly, this will clean the axes, mirror plane, extention plane etc. off the screen,
[COLOR="Lime"]EXTRA TIP[/COLOR]
((just make sure you don't have any contructs that you want to keep before you clear them))
