group objects add
Allows you to add objects to an Adams View group.
Format:
group objects add |
|---|
group_name = | existing group |
objects_in_group = | existing entities |
expand_groups = | yes/no |
type_filter = | entity type |
Example:
group objects add & |
|---|
group_name = | pendulum_parts & |
objects_in_group = | .model_1.part_2, .model_1.part_3 & |
type_filter = | part |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
Group_name | Existing Group Name | Specifies the group to be modified. You use this parameter to identify the existing group to be affected with this command. |
Objects_in_group | Existing Entity/entities | Specifies the objects to be added or removed from the group. |
Expand_groups | Yes, No | Specifies a Boolean value. |
Type_filter | Entity Type | Specifies the type of objects allowed. |
Extended Definition:
1. The “objects_in_group” parameter takes one or more of any existing Adams View objects.
If a wildcard is used to specify the objects, the TYPE_FILTER parameter can be used to accept only objects of a particular type.
2. When specifying the objects for the “type_filter” operation a wild cards can be used, which may result in too many objects being found. For example, if all the parts for model MOD1 are desired, specifying .MOD1.* will get not only the parts, but all children of the model, like joints, forces and so on. Using the parameter TYPE_FILTER=part will result in only the parts being processed by this command.
group objects attributes
Allows the specification of attributes on all objects in a group which can take attributes.
Format:
group objects attributes |
|---|
group_name = | an existing group |
scale_of_icons = | real |
size_of_icons = | real |
visibility = | on_off_with_toggle |
name_visibility = | on_off_with_toggle |
color = | an existing color |
line_thickness = | real |
line_type = | line_style |
entity_scope = | color_scope |
active = | on_off_no_opinion |
dependents_active = | on_off_no_opinion |
type_filter = | ent |
Example:
group objects attributes & |
|---|
group_name = | group_1 & |
scale_of_icons = | 0.90 & |
visibility = | on & |
name_visibility = | on & |
color = | blue & |
line_thickness = | 0.19 & |
line_type = | dash & |
entity_scope = | fill_color & |
active = | on d & |
dependents_active = | on & |
type_filter = | color |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
group_name | An Existing Group | Specifies the group to be modified. You use this parameter to identify the existing group to be affected with this command. |
scale_of_icons | Real | Specifies a unit-less scale factor to apply to the current icon size. |
size_of_icons | Real | Specifies the size, in modeling units, the Adams View icons will appear in. |
visibility | On_off_with_toggle | Specifies the visibility of graphic entities |
name_visibility | On_off_with_toggle | The NAME_VISIBILITY parameter provides control over the visibility of the view name displayed at the top center position of a given view. |
color | An Existing Color | Specifies the color the modeling entity should be drawn in. |
line_thickness | Real | Specifies the thickness of the line for a curve |
line_type | Line_style | This parameter allows the selection of the line type for a curve. |
entity_scope | Color_scope | The ENTITY_SCOPE parameter is used to control how a color modification is to affect a particular graphic entity. |
active | On_off_no_opinion | When you set ACTIVE=NO, that element is written to the data set as a comment. |
dependents_active | On_off_no_opinion | Specifies whether children of the objects are to be acted upon in the same way as the active parameter does. |
type_filter | Ent | Specifies the type of objects allowed. |
transperency | Integer | Sets the transparency |
Extended Definition:
1. You may identify a group by typing its name.
If a group is available by default, you may identify it by entering only its name. If it is not, you must enter its full name. If you type a "?", Adams View will list the group available by default.
You must separate multiple group names by commas.
2. 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 multiplying the current size, by the scale, and storing the product as the new ICON_SIZE.
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 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.
4. Specifies the visibility of graphic entities. 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 entity’s visibility and reverse it.
