Symbol scaler

Postby Geoffrey Leiter, P.E. » Mon Jul 30, 2001 7:36 pm

I asked for this a while back but it never got added. Could you tell
me how I can adust the symbol scale value via the command prompt in
ACAD r14? The text scaler works great "TS" but I would like to
control my arrowheads on the fly with a command like "XS" maybe?

Thanks,
Geoff

To clarify, the appropriate name of this variable is "Symbol plot
size" found in "Inq-Set>Drawing Setup>Symbol Plot Size"

Geoff,
You can add the following to your QuickKeys list.

Quickkey = XS
Macro = (setq sv:psf (getreal "enter symbol size "))

This will set the actual units size. For example, if you horiz scale is
50 and your symbol size is 0.8, then tha actual unit size is 4.00

If you would rather specify the symbol size scaler, then substitute
SV:PS for SV:PSF in the macro above.

Randall,

Do you have a list of all variables used in SC2000? This would be
quite useful for programming other quickkeys.
