Detail Marker: "Copy construction elements only" variable

Erenford — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:29:23 GMT

Greetings, any ideas on what variable corresponds the "Copy construction elements only" on detail marker settings? It doesn't seem to be in the API_DetailType structure.

What I'm trying to do is set / unset it on element creation. For now though it just follows element default settings.

Regards,

You're right, this option is not available via the API.
How important is this for you? I can add this as a feature request and we can extend the API_DetailType structure for API23.

Interesting, I never saw it before. What it is supposed to do? Paste only Core elements?
I test it on an ongoing project and it seems to do nothing

Yes if its checked it won't copy the 2D elements (dimensions, labels, etc) inside the marker to the detail drawing. If unchecked it will also draw them.
