Parameter
Value Type
Description
geometry_name
Existing geometry name
Specify name of existing geometry.
arc_name
Existing arc name
Specify name of existing arc.
block_name
Existing block name
Specify name of existing block name
circle_name
Existing circle name
Specify name of circle name
cylinder_name
Existing cylinder name
Specify name of cylinder name
frustum_name
Existing frustrum name
Specify name of frustrum name
force_name
Existing force name
Specify name of force name
outline_name
Existing outline name
Specify name of outline name
polyline_name
Existing polyline name

Specify name of ellipsoid name
torus_name
Existing torus name
Specify name of torus name
revolution_name
Existing revolution name
Specify name of revolution name
extrusion_name
Existing extrusion name
Specify name of extrusion name
plane_name
Existing plane name
Specify name of plane name
brief
On/off
Specify whether the information has to be displayed in brief.
write_to_terminal
On/off
Specify whether the information has to be displayed on the terminal.
file_name
String
Specify name of filename in which the information has to be written into.

Extended Definition:

1. If the parameter “brief” = ON, then the information of the dependants of the geometry will not be displayed. If brief is OFF then the information of the geometry as well as its dependants is displayed.

Tips:

1. IF no parameters are specified to the list_info geometry command, it will display the information of all the geometry objects in the current model.
2. On typing ? after the “file_name =”, the file browse window will appear allowing the file to be specified.
