2.10 Current drawing attributes

In the various draw modes, new user objects are drawn with current drawing attributes. Typically, the application implements a dialog that lets you enter these attributes as defaults

• Linetype
• Linewidth
• Line Color
• Fill color
• Fill style
• Hatch
• Start & end Marking
• Font
• Font style
• Font size
• String justification
• Object rotation
• Circle arc and Ellipse arc start angle
• Circle arc and Ellipse arc end angle
• Fixed width or fixed length of a Rectangle (see Draw rectangle mode)
• Locks (see Locking)

Important

• Unlike user operations, 4D CAD methods don’t use the current drawing attributes, see the section on Parameter passing
• Implementation of a dialog to set default drawing attributes is left to the application developer (for example code see the Drawing attributes... menu item in the CAD menu of DemoCAD, called through the TAppMenuEvent_I method).
