guide                         v=<vector>, d=<vector> {, m=<i>}
{, th=<i>} {, f=<frag>} {, $=<i>}
{, colortext=<n>}

Function

Define a construction line item passing through two points.

 Parameters

v=

A language vector phrase defining a point in 3-D space. Point variables can also be used. The default is the current control.

 

 

d=

A language vector phrase defining a point. Point variables can also be used.

 

 

m=

The colour for the line. The default colour is the current pen.

 

 

th=

The thickness for the construction line. Default value is current thickness.

 

 

f=

The fragment for the construction line. Default is current fragment.

Notes

The Guide command has been extended with the possibility of text alongside like the grid, where the text is always displayed on the left and bottom sides of the screen no matter what the zoom area implemented. The presence of the text is driven by an environment variable that indicates the user attribute used to place the text value, GUIDE_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE=2

means that att(2), if defined, contains the text to be displayed. Introduced v12.3

 

The colortext=<n> option introduced in V14 is persistent to the  MOD file and does not change the model format.

Examples

guide v=j,d=e1&n.5

guide v=origin,d=e1&n.5,m=5,f=40

guide v=p2,d=e1@135,m=10,$=2
