The MARK command

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))

MARK WITH (NAME) ALL (EQUIP) works
but MARK WITH (NAME) ALL (PIPE)  does not.
any suggestions for marking PIPES WITH NAME ?

 

Thanks alot De for your sharing;
Thats very nice quick tool.

 

Are u using PDMS11.6 SP4?

No.i use from PDMS 11.5 SP2

We're trying to do some quick screen shots with the instruments tagged with the name and the elevation.

MARK WITH (NAME) ALL (INST)  - this works

MARK WITH (name and pos [3] ) ALL (INST)  - trying to mark the instrument with the Elevation.  ?? Do you know the correct  syntax to do confused_smile:

Hi chook try this :-

MARK With (STRING(POS[3]) + NAME) ALL INST

Or put the required INST in a list and run
MARK With (STRING(POS[3]) + NAME) CE
