Exclude

EXCLUDE - v14

exclude {<vector>} {,}{<item>} {,h}
{,svar} {,pvar} {,nvar} {,b{,a}}

Function

Select a model item and remove it from those currently available for manipulation. Once an item has been selected, it is moved to a position before the partition area in the model workspace, thereby de-selecting it.

Parameters

vector

A vector phrase defining a selection point in 3-D space. The program will use this point to determine which model item is selected. If this parameter is omitted, selection by the interactive cursor device is assumed.

item	An indication of which model item type(s) should be selected. More than one type of item may be indicated by separating them with commas. The indicators are as follows:
	f	Flat surface item.
	s	Solid or Hollow object item.
	l{e}	Lines item.
	v	Single line vector.
	p	Pipework item.
	m	Submodel.
	c	Arc or Circle item.
	a	Annotation item.
	d	Dimension item.
	u	Ufo item.
	n	Point item.
	cl	Construction line item
	x	Exact geometry item (Profile or Body)
	xp	Profile item
	xb	Body item
	$<file>	Submodel with a specific name, or matching a wildcard specification.

	<i>	Item with a specific type number. n should be in the range 1 to 18.
	any	Any model item, equivalent to "f,s,v,p,m,c,a,d,n,cl, x,xp,xb".

		If no indicator is given, m (submodel) is assumed.

h	Highlight the selected item by flashing it.

svar	Record string information about the selected item in string variables, svar must be of the form s<i> or <s_array>[<i>]

pvar	Record co-ordinate information about the selected item in attach points. pvar must be of the form p<i> or <p_array>[<i>]

nvar	Record scalar information about the selected item in arithmetic variables. nvar must be of the form v<i> or <n_array>[<i>].

b	Record the selected item in the temporary stack buffer. If the character A is also used, then the item will be appended to the buffer.

Once an item has been selected, it is moved to a position before the partition area, thereby making it unavailable for subsequent manipulation by other commands. The position of the partition bar within the model workspace will not change. If the partition is not already on, this command will put the partition on between the selected item and all other items in the model workspace.

Examples

exclude

exclude v

exclude p100, f,s

exclude le, p10,v10

exclude a, s10

exclude s,p_array[1],n_array[11]

Notes

Details of recorded variables may be found in another section called "Selection Variables". When a search is made of the items in the model, the item selected is the nearest to the selection point within a given tolerance. This tolerance is generally the width of the current control cursor on the screen, 2.5% of the screen width, but maybe redefined by the SET SELTOL command. Any items outside this tolerance will not be selected. The NEAREST command will select the nearest item without applying a tolerance. The Yes/No indicator will be set by this command: Yes if an item is successfully selected, No if no item is selected.

The Yes/No indicator will be set by this command: Yes if an item is successfully excluded, No if no item is excluded.
