Pen and Linetype Settings in 2D Script

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:07:58 GMT

I'm trying to create a simple 2D library part which consists of a variety of pen colors and line types with my basic goal being to use the FRAGMENT2 command to call up various options associated with the object from the 2D Symbol window. Is there a command I can insert into my 2D script to instruct it to utilize the same pen colors and line types used in my 2D Symbol window without having to define each of them in the 2D script?

I'm using AC 9.0

Is this part of a larger script or are you only trying to place the content of the 2D Symbol?

The second parameter of the Fragment2 tells it whether to use the pens (etc.) as drawn in the fragment (value = 0) or those defined in the script (value = 1). In the latter case the entire fragment will be drawn with the script's (single) current pen.
