Make a section marker from scratch

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hey everyone,
I am trying to make a custom section marker. I have experience with GDL scripting but not as advanced as a section marker. Does someone know more about this topic and give me some insight or tips. A link to a instruction video or website is also welcome.
Thanks

Did you get any help on this? Can't find anything specific in the GDL reference manual, or on the GDL Centre.

I did figure out that in order to automatically refer to the drawing number and layout number, you need to use the following:

txtRef = "<MARKERDRAWINGNUMBER_R>" + AC_DrawingGUID
txtLayout = "<MARKERSHEETNUMBER_R>" + AC_DrawingGUID

Still trying to figure out how to test for which end of the section line is being drawn, so I can draw a 'tail' on the section...as is drafting convention.
