- 3.1.12 REBUILD GRAPHICS
-
-
- The REBUILD GRAPHICS command is used to reconstruct the graphics data for
- one or more X-CAD entities.
-
- An X-CAD drawing database consists of two main types of information; entity
- data and graphics data. Entity data consists of blocks of information
- describing coordinate lists or font data etc. Graphics data describes how
- to draw an entity in terms of vectors and polygon data. The graphics data
- block for each entity is rebuilt automatically if the entity is edited in
- any way. However, there are some circumstances where it may be necessary to
- rebuild the graphics information for selected entities. If you redefine a
- symbol or a character in a text font, or if a different arc display quality
- is selected, the graphics data for any entities that would be affected by
- these changes is not automatically updated. The REBUILD GRAPHICS command is
- used to modify the graphics data in this type of case.

-
- COMMAND FORMAT
-
- #REBUILD GRAPHICS modifiers [CR]
-
- or
-
- #REBUILD GRAPHICS :Ent x1 x2 ... xn
-
- If the command is terminated with a return bypassing IDENTS, then the
- graphics data for the entire database is rebuilt ( unless the CURVEONLY
- modifier is used ). Alternatively IDENTS can be used to selectively identify
- entities to be processed by the command.
-
-
- MODIFIERS
-
- CURVEONLY Specifies that only the graphics data for entities that may
- contain curve definitions is rebuilt. This modifier is
- mainly used if the arc display quality is changed with the
- SELECT ENVIRONMENT command.
