- 6.3.2 SELECT PATTERNFILL
-
-
- The SELECT PATTERNFILL command is used to select a new patternfill data
- file or to list the name of the currently selected patternfill data file.
-
- All commands that access a patternfill definition - whether for display or
- modification - always access the patternfill data from the currently
- selected patternfill data file. Different patternfill data files can be
- constructed to suit different types of drawings. This can be more efficient
- than keeping one large patternfill data file as there is a limit to how
- much patternfill data will fit into memory.
-
- Only one patternfill data file can be active at one time. Therefore a
- drawing should only have references to patternfills contained in a single
- data file. The name of a selected patternfill data file is stored with the
- drawing so it is automatically reselected when the drawing is recalled.
-
-
- MODIFIERS
-
- NAME The name of a patternfill data file to select. If the file
- does not exist, it is assumed that a new patternfill data
- file is going to be created. The file name should be in
- standard AmigaDos format consisting of no more than 80
- characters.
-
- DEFAULT Used to select the default patternfill data file -
- "XCDATA:patternfill". This is the data file active when X-CAD
- is first started.
-
- LIST The LIST modifier is used to list the name of the currently
- selected patternfill data file.
