3-32 Insert/macro linking
When no command is
associated to a block, PowerClic starts the command
« INSERT » when
you PowerClic it.
If a command is associated
to a block, PowerClic will not start the command
« INSERT » but the
one you will have mentioned in this dialog box.
In the case shown above,
when you PowerClic the block « INFO », an Autocad
alert signal will
appear with the text "This block is called INFO".
Of course, this example would not be relevant, but the 5 common
commands with
PowerClic have a wider selection of them.
NB : To bypass the
associated command, it is sufficient to click on CTRL when you
PowerClic.
Pw_Cut_Bl and Pw_Ang_Bl are
specially related to the
filarial drawing, either for schematic or cartography. Pw_inc_Bl is a very elaborated numeric or
alphabetic incrementation command pw_num_bl
is kept for it’s compatibility with the former
versions of PowerClic but is now obsolete. PW_INC_CUT_BL cumulates the advantages of
pw_ang_bl and of pw_inc_bl
PW_CUT_BL allows the
insertion of a block with automatic tuning of it.
PW_ANG_BL moreover allows
automatic alignment with the support.
The valid supports are:
Lines, Polylines, Arc, Circles, Ellipses, and Radii.
(pw_cut_bl block plan
length factor)
with block = name of the
block eg: "VALVE"
layer = name of layer eg:
"WATER_FROIDE" or "$" or "$c"
factor = insertion factor
of the block eg: 1 or "$"
length
= length in the drawing block unit eg: 2.5
PW_CUT_BL allows the
association of an automatic cut to a schematic block which insertion
point is
located in the centre.
eg : PowerClic on the red
diabolo (the valve) of the drawing PWR_CLIC.DWG and click on any
polyline. The
block will insert automatically and the polyline is adjusted to the
length of
the block.
Tips :
Put « $ » instead
of layer and the block will insert on the same layer as the polyline
selected
« $c » will take into account the layer and the
color.
Put « $ »instead
of factor, and the block will insert at the same scale as the one which
you
PowerClicked
If the length = 0, the
entity is not cut.
(pw_ang_bl block layer
factor length)
with block = name of block
eg: "VALVE"
layer = name of layer eg:
"WATER_FROIDE" or "$"
factor = insertion factor
of the eg: 1 or "$"
length = length in the
drawing block unit eg: 2.5
PW_ANG_BL allows the
association of an automatic cut to a schematic block which insertion
point is
located in the centre.
The difference with
pw_cut_bl is that the block will insert according to the angle of the
selected polyline.
eg : PowerClic on the green diabolo
(the valve) of the drawing PWR_CLIC.DWG and then
click on any polyline. The block is
automatically
inserted and the length of the polyline is
adjusted
to the block.
Tips :
Put « $ » instead
of layer and the block will insert on the same layer as the polyline
selected « $c » will take into account the layer
and the color.
Put « $ »instead
of factor, and the block will insert at the same scale as the one which
you Powerclicked
- If the length = 0, the
entity is not cut.
(pw_num_bl
block layer factor mode)
with block = name of the
block eg: "NUMERO"
layer = name of the layer eg: "TEXTE"
factor = insertion factor
of the block eg: 1 or "$"
mode = alphabetic mode
"a" or numeric mode "n"
PW_NUM_BL allows the
association of an automatic numeration procedure by incrementation
to a block containing at least one visual attribute.
eg : PowerClic on the red square
containing an A from the drawing PWR_CLIC.DWG
and click on the black
square containing a 1.
Tip : put "$"
instead of factor, and the block will insert itself at the same scale
as the
one which you had Powerclicked
(pw_inc_bl
name of the block name of the layer scale )
scale = $ : scale of the
selected block
npl = $ : layer selected
PW_INC_BL same as PW_NUM_BL
but suggests a more intelligent management of the increments. It allows
the
utilisation of suffix and prefix and keeps in memory the increments
previously
used.
Example : If you click
on a block containing an attribute with the values of
« C », pw_inc_bl
automatically suggest to start at « D »
At the next call, it will
suggest the letter following the one you had stopped with.
If you click on “AA12JS”,
“AA” will be considered as a prefix and “JS” as
a suffix
By default the numbering
will begin at 13
5:
PW_INC_CUT_BL
which syntax is:
(pw_inc_cut_bl
block layer scale length mode)
mode = 't : angle auto ,
mode = nil = manual
scale = "$" :
scale of the selected block
npl = "$" : selected layer. npl
= "$c" layer and selected color
This command links pw_cut_bl
and pw_inc_bl
To
use this command, the block shall contain an attribute.
!WARNING: if no block is
defined in your drawing, this option in not available.
Note about the creation of
blocks in the view of associating the commands
PW_CUT_BL, PW_INC_CUT_BL or
PW_ANG_BL :
