Command Syntax for DRAFT Drawings...

 
  • I am looking to create/setup our drawings via command line macro and cannot seem to identify some syntax.  I can create the DRWG / SHEE / VIEW without problem.  My question is how to create VLIMTS Defined by command line?  I can see the UDA of the limits :CDLIMITS From E 19053' N 39850' U 476' To E 19200' N 39901' U 560'.

    I can see the Thposition E 19126'6 N 39875'6 U 518' of the VIEW itself, but how to set the limts.

    Then how do you create/set the VSEC and the FPLA to clip the portion of the view you want?

    Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
  • have you tried to use pml tracing with $r7?

    if not then i can recommend to do that in the following manner:
    1.$r7/c:\temp\pmltracing.log over
    2.run creation of section plane via GUI and create it
    3.stop the tracing by $r0 command
    4. look thru the file pmltracing.log

    you will find there which command are executing during vsec creation
    then just copy it carefully, modify if needed and use in your code

    the same procedure cold be applied if you want to know how to set limits by the command - just switch on tracing and reproduce limits by gui and look which command executed...

    the other way is to look on attributes of item and simply try to set them via command

    if you are not sucessful with this please post then I will find right commands or you
