Edit Crosshatch Parameters

Description

Allows you to edit various parameters including: crosshatch boundaries, crosshatch types, and pattern fill types.

NOTE: Be sure to use the correct minor word for the type of parameters you wish to edit. For example, if you want to edit a crosshatch, use XHATCH. If you want to edit a pattern fill, use AFILL. Using the wrong minor word produces an error.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

obj

The object identifier of the existing hatch object to be edited.

BND

Minor word that indicates that a boundary is to be edited.

ADD

Minor word that indicates that boundaries are to be added.

objlist

A list of existing boundary objects which are added to the hatch object.

REMOVE

Minor word which indicates that the existing boundary containing the object specified is to be removed.

objlist

A list of objects that specifies which boundaries should be removed. The object must be a member of the boundary for the boundary to be removed. If no boundary exists to be removed, the system returns an error. One object must be specified for each boundary to be removed.

REPLAC

Minor word which indicates that the boundary containing the object specified should be replaced with the boundary specified.

obj

An object which is in the boundary to be replaced

boundary

An existing boundary object which replaces the existing boundary.

XHATCH

Minor word which specifies that the hatch being defined is a user-defined crosshatch.

FNAME

Optional minor word that specifies that the system should use the "filename" you specify for the crosshatch file.

filename

Optional name of the user-defined crosshatch file to be used. If this parameter is omitted, the system uses the file xhatch.chx. The system always looks for this file first in the default (current) directory, then, if not found, in the util directory. If the file is not found, an error is returned.

UTIL

Minor word that specifies that the system should first search for the crosshatch file in the util directory, then search in the current directory. If the parameter is omitted, the system searches in the current directory first, then the util directory.

material number

Integer which represents the number of the material in the crosshatch file that is to be used.

material name

String which represents the name of the crosshatch pattern to use. This parameter is case sensitive.

angle

Specifies the angle that the primary crosshatching lines form with the X axis of the work coordinate system.

distance

Specifies the distance between adjacent crosshatching lines or sets of crosshatching lines.

AFILL

Minor word which specifies that the hatch being defined is an area fill.

fill number

Integer that specifies the fill pattern to use.

angle

Real number which represents the angle at which the area fill should be created.

scale

Real number which represents the scale at which the area fill symbol is drawn in the boundary.

IFERR,label:

Specifies a label to which program execution jumps if an error occurs. Possible errors include: invalid object specified; invalid parameter specified, etc.
