ATH Modify
Command input:
ath_edit
With this command you can edit ATHENA and AutoCAD objects. After calling the command, if you click an object, the dialog box is opened with which the selected object was created. The default settings of the selected object are displayed in the dialog box and you can change the required parameters. Parameters that cannot be changed are masked out in gray.
Alternatively to this command, you can double click an object without previously starting the command. With some objects however the double click function of Modify object is different, because AutoCAD dialog boxes are preferably used.
For the following ATHENA objects a dialog box exists which is available to modify the respective object:
• Dimensions
• Interrupted dimension
Dimensions
When you modify a dimension, the Dialog box Dimension text is started and you can edit the dimension text.
You will find information in the Chapter Change dimension text.
The following points should be noted when you modify interrupted dimensions:
• If you delete the original dimension (<>), the dimension texts are always displayed underlined.
• The list of texts is saved in the file ATHENA\DataLocal\ath_obj_prop.dex.
Interrupted dimension
When you modify an interrupted dimension, the Dialog box Dimension text starts.
You will find information in the Chapter Change dimension text.
The following points should be noted when you modify interrupted dimensions:
• If you modify (overwrite) a defined dimension, all dependent interrupted dimensions and levels of the definition are recalculated.
• You cannot overwrite dimension figures of computed dimensions, but only supplement them.
