Extended Definition:
1. The MARKER keyword is used to control whether a particular (or group of) markers(s) are to be drawn in an Adams View viewport. The visibility of markers can be set using this command. The scope of a particular marker visibility change can be controlled. This means that a single visibility change can affect all markers in a particular analysis, on a particular part, or marker visibility can be controlled individually.
2. You may identify a marker by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the marker is not visible on the screen, you must type the name.
You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the marker is displayed.
If you created the marker by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the marker name is the letters MAR followed by the Adams data set marker ID number. For example, the name of Adams MARKER/101 is MAR101. If you created the marker during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
If a marker is available by default, you may identify it by entering only its name. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a marker under a different part, for instance, you may need to enter the model and part names as well. For example, you may specify marker 'pivot' from model 'links', part 'lower_arm' by entering ".links.lower_arm.pivot". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the markers available by default.
You must separate multiple marker names by commas.
3. The visibility parameter is used to control whether graphic entities, such as markers, joints, and parts, are to be drawn in an Adams View viewport.
The legal values for this parameter are: ON, OFF, and TOGGLE. ON will make the desired entity visible. OFF will make the desired entity invisible. TOGGLE will take the current state of an entities visibility and reverse it.
4. The legal values of the name_visibility parameter are ON and OFF. This is an optional parameter and if not entered, the name will be visible (that is, will be ON).
Note that if the visibility of the view name is turned off, the only indication that a view is "active" will be the color of the viewport border. This would be a problem on a black and white monitor.
Tips:
1. If the marker is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on it.
2. You need not separate multiple marker picks by commas.
