3.6.3 VERIFY FAMILY
The VERIFY FAMILY command is used to highlight any inter-entity relations
or families.
A number of commands automatically create inter-entity relationships such
as drawing text referencing a tnode, or drawing exploded symbols or
dimension entities. These commands can set up parent-child or equal member
relationships between entities. The command LINK ENTITY can also be used to
set up custom relationships between entities. As the relationships are
made in the X-CAD database and are not visible as such on the drawing, the
VERIFY FAMILY command can be used to check or verify inter-entity relation-
ships.
COMMAND FORMAT
#VERIFY FAMLY [modifiers] :Ent x1 [:Ent x1 ... ]
If no modifiers are used with the command, for each entity identified, its
complete family of child and equal members will be highlighted. A message
listing the number of members in the family is displayed to the console
window. To move on to the next family or terminate the command, the small
window with the message "CONTINUE?" that appears in the bottom right of the
display should be clicked with the mouse.
If any of the child or equal members of the entity identified are in turn
parents of further entities, these entities and their families are also
highlighted. A recursive search is put into action to find all members
below or equal in the hierarchy starting at the original parent entity. If
the identified entity is a child member of another entity, its parent is
not highlighted as the search does not move up the family tree, only down.
MODIFERS
IMMEDIATE The IMMEDIATE modifier is used to limit the family search
to one level only. The direction of the search is determined
by one of the four keywords which must follow this modifier:
PARENTS Only highlight any entities which are parents
to this entity.
EQUALS Only highlight entities which are equal
members to this entity.
CHILDREN Only highlight entities which are child
members to this entity.
ALL ALL is a combination of PARENTS, EQUALS and
CHILDREN.
