display_attributes icon_size model
Allows you to specify the size all Adams View icons in a model will appear in.
Format:
display_attributes icon_size model |
|---|
model_name = | an existing model |
scale_of_icons = | real |
size_of_icons = | length |
Example:
display_attributes icon_size model & |
|---|
model_name = | piston & |
size_of_icons = | 0.9 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
model_name | An Existing Model | Specifies the model to be modified. You use this parameter to identify the existing model to be affected with this command. |
scale_of_icons | Real | Specifies a unit-less scale factor to be applied to the current icon size. |
size_of_icons | Length | Specifies the size, in modeling units, the Adams View icons will appear in. |
Extended Definition:
1. You may set a specific size for icons in modeling units, or scale their present size with a unit-less scale factor.
If no initial size is specified for Adams View icons, the default size will be one modeling LENGTH unit. For example, if the modeling units are K/M/S, a part axes icon will have triad legs of one meter in length.
When you specify an ICON_SCALE, a new size is calculated by multipling the current size, by the scale, and storing the product as the new ICON_SIZE.
When you set ICON_SIZE at the model level, all Adams View icons used in creating a model will use the size specified.
If the model has an ICON_SIZE set, and a part under that model has a different ICON_SIZE, the model's ICONS_SIZE will take precedence.
For Example:
.model ---------------------- ICON_SIZE = .15 meters
.part-------------------- ICON_SIZE = .125 meters
The part's icon will be 1.5 meters is size.
If the model has an ICON_SIZE of 0.0 set, and a part under that model has a ICON_SIZE of .125, the part's ICON_SIZE will be used.
For Example:
.model ---------------------- ICON_SIZE = 0.0 meters
.part-------------------- ICON_SIZE = .125 meters
The part's icon will be .125 meters is size.
2. You may identify a model by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the model is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the model is displayed.
You must separate multiple model names by commas.
If the model is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
You need not separate multiple model picks by commas.
3. If no initial size is specified for Adams View icons, the default size will be one modeling LENGTH unit. For example, if the modeling units are K/M/S, a part axes icon will have triad legs of one meter in length.
When you specify SCALE_OF_ICONS, a new size is calculated by multipling the current size, by the scale, and storing the product as the new ICON_SIZE.
4. If no initial size is specified for Adams View icons, the default size will be one modeling LENGTH unit. For example, if the modeling units are K/M/S, a part axes icon will have triad legs of one meter in length.
When you set SIZE_OF_ICONS at the model level, all Adams View icons used in creating a model will use the size specified.
If the model has an SIZE_OF_ICONS set, and a part under that model has a different SIZE_OF_ICONS, the model's ICONS_SIZE will take precedence.
For Example:
.model ---------------------- SIZE_OF_ICONS = .15 meters
.part-------------------- SIZE_OF_ICONS = .125 meters
The part's icon will be 1.5 meters is size.
If the model has SIZE_OF_ICONS of set to 0.0 , and a part under that model has a SIZE_OF_ICONS set to .125, the part's icon size will be used.
For Example:
.model ---------------------- SIZE_OF_ICONS = 0.0 meters
.part-------------------- SIZE_OF_ICONS = .125 meters
The part's icon will be .125 meters is size.
Tips:
1. If the model is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
2. You need not separate multiple model picks by commas.
