2.42. Draw from Codes |
This tool is used to draw a set of graphical elements (blocks, lines and areas) from the drawing’s point codes and the shared Codes Database for all the projects.
When this command is executed, one can select the range of points one wishes to work with and if all or just one of the database’s codes are used by clicking on the Select button. The option Consider Suffixes is used when drawing lines to define whether the program will account for the suffixes at the beginning, end, line close, etc.
Moreover, the Use sets of alphanumeric points option enables us to use the command for sets of points shared by the same prefix in its name. Hence, the program covers the points with a numeric name from the initial to the final point, and then covers these points separately for each existing prefix.
One can also choose if the program should delete the objects drawn on the corresponding layer before drawing, in addition to specifying the scale with which blocks will be inserted.
By running this command, you can select the range of points on which to work. The Use set of alphanumeric points option allows you to use the command over sets of points that share the same prefix in their name. Thus, the program goes through the points with numerical name from the starting point to the end, and then for each prefix that exists, those points are traversed separately.
By default, the program will consider all the codes in the database, but by pressing the "..." you can choose only one in particular. The Consider Suffixes option allows you to select whether when drawing lines, start, end, line closure suffixes, etc. are considered. With the Consider Prefixes option, it can be done that, if the points include a number at the beginning of the code, this is considered when drawing lines so that each of the prefixes are drawn separately.
One must consider that if a point has various codes separated by commas, each of them will be processed independently.
