std-tbl-group


Synopsis

(std-tbl-group <tbl>)

Description

STD-TBL-GROUP returns a number matching the dxf group associated with the table (=property).

If the argument tbl is no valid table string or if no dxf group number is associated with the table (eg: "VIEW", "VPORT", "APPID") nil is returned.

This is AutoCAD independent.

Note

We support one not-standard AutoCAD table also: "COLOR". This is a common entity property, not stored in a table, but you may refer to the color property as to any other property which is stored in a table. For "COLOR" 62 is returned.

Example

(std-tbl-group "BLOCK")	=> 2
(std-tbl-group "LAYER")	=> 8
(std-tbl-group "STYLE")	=> 7
(std-tbl-group "LTYPE")	=> 6
(std-tbl-group "DIMSTYLE")	=> 3
(std-tbl-group "COLOR")	=> 62

Arguments

tbl: any expression, but usually a valid table string. see std-tbl-p
