Font

Synopsis

&FONT(obj)

Description

Accesses the font of all geometric objects (excludes dimensions and drafting aids). This EDA is READ/WRITE which means that the font of an object can be extracted and/or edited.

Characteristics

Read/Write - Number - [1..7]

Constant Values

1 = &SOLID
2 = &DASHED
3 = &PHANTM
4 = &CLINE
5 = Dotted (Note that the last 3 values do not have EDA
6 = Long Dashed constants; you must use the integer value)
7 = Dotted Dashed

Parameters

Parameter

Description

&SOLID

EDA which indicates that the font of the object will be solid. You can also READ the object's font. If it is solid, the value 1 is returned.

&DASHED

EDA which indicates that the font of the object will be dashed. You can also READ the object's font. If dashed, the value 2 is returned.

&PHANTM

EDA which indicates that the font of the object will be phantom. You can also READ the object's font. If phantom, the value 3 is returned.

&CLINE

EDA which indicates that the font of the object will be centerline. You can also READ the object's font. If centerline, the value 4 is returned.

Dotted

Indicates that the font of the specified object will be dotted. You can also READ the object's current font. If dotted, the value 5 is returned.

Long Dashed

Indicates that the font of the object will be long dashed. You can also READ the object's font. If long dashed, the value 6 is returned.

Dotted Dashed

Indicates that the font of the object will be dotted dashed. You can also READ the object's font. If dotted dashed, the value 7 is returned.
