8.1 OPEN DRAWING
The OPEN DRAWING command is used to recall an existing drawing and make it
active.
If the drawing was previously closed or saved using the NOGRAPHICS modifier,
a message
"Graphics data not found, regenerating graphics."
will appear. If this message appears, then there will be a short delay as
the graphics data is rebuilt from the drawing database.
When the command is used, a requester will appear asking if a backup of the
specified drawing is required. If the OK gadget is clicked, the named
drawing will be copied to "XDRBACK:backup". This file can then be used to
recover the drawing if required.
MODIFIERS
NAME The name of the drawing to open. This should be in standard
AmigaDos format consisting of not more than 80 characters.
.AS If an existing drawing is opened, the AS modifier can be
used to specify an alternative filename which will be used
when the drawing is SAVEd or CLOSEd.
This modifier can be used to recall a standard blank sheet
containing drawing sheet graphics and predefined text,
dimension and colour parameters etc. In this way a standard
sheet can be set up and used as a template for a new drawing.
Example:
#OPEN DRAWING NAME standard/sheet AS drawing/1-007a
The previously saved drawing "standard/sheet" will be
recalled. But when this drawing is saved or closed, it
will be filed under the name "drawing/1-007a".
