Precast Command: Attaching Data to Grid Lines

Video Demo of the command:

Precast Command: Add Marks To Grid Lines from Tek1 on Vimeo.

The following demonstrates how to attach data to a particular line. In this case we are attached grid marks (from a Mtexts) to AutoCAD lines. We are attaching them to the line’s extension dictionary under the XRecord named “Grid”. We can then view this by using a Line Overrule which displays those Xrecords at the start and end points of those lines. The name of this particular command is: AddGridMarksToGridLines. The reason we are doing this is so that we can programmatically access the grid lines, and also have the grid mark readily attached to that particular line.

The command to toggle the overrule on and off is: “TOGGLEOVERRULE”.
