menu, what does this part mean?

[Debi Olson]

Hi all,

I'm trying to modify our custom menu and the following snippet is from a command that changes linetypes.

I figured out that the [ ldashed] part is how it's listed in the pull down. The portion that comes after "ldashed" defines the linetype. What does the $p10=p10x mean? What part, if any, tells it to load the linetype if it isn't currently loaded?

[contin.]CONTINUOUS $p10=p10x
[ldashed]ldashed $p10=p10x
[DASHED]DASHED $p10=p10x
[sdashed]sdashed $p10=p10x
[HIDDEN]HIDDEN $p10=p10x
[mhidden]mhidden $p10=p10x

It continues from here as more of the same. I just didn't think you needed that mess too.

Thanks for the help.

Debi

Thank you. Although I'm not so sure I completely understand that it does give me a direction and a clue.

$p10 POP10 (as displayed)
$p10x P10x (as coded)

$p10=$p10x (replace POP10 with P10x)

P10x may be a Symbol defined (or stored) via Lisp... and changed to different values as the LISP requires.

P10x may be simply define in your MNU/MNS file.
