The language of script sequences

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Script sequences are written in a special language, which is based on the native command language of AutoCAD. Consequently, it is the AutoCAD commands which constitutes the essential content of the Script sequences.

 

Besides pure AutoCAD commands there are some special expressions and ways of writing:

 

A semicolon (“;”) is used to symbolize the <RETURN> button.

 

The filename of the current drawing sheet, which is different for each drawing sheet, is written with the word DATEI, which by the way is German and means filename. This is a variable, which the Script Generator replaces with the actual filename, the filename of the DXF file.

 

A dollar sign ("$") is used to call another script sequence as a so-called sub-routine. Please refer to the Sub-routines topic for a detailed description of how to use them.
