UL - User-defined line type 

UL [ 

i

 ] [,

g

 [...,]] [;] 

i

 ; unit type   

g

 : gap length 

 

This command allows you to define line types which you can then subsequently select with the LT 
command. 

 

i

 must be in the range 1-8. 

  i

 identifies the line type that is to be defined. 

 

The index parameter uses absolute values. 

 

g

 (the gap length) alternately specifies pen up and pen down parts of the defined line type.    A maximum of 

twenty line sections are permitted,    the first of which is a pen down section.    Numbers must be integers in 
the range 0~32767.    These numbers are converted to percentages by the LT command. 

 

Maximum definition for the gap of each line type is 20. 

 

The sum of the gap parameters must be greater than 0. 

 

Specifying an index number with no gap parameters sets the line type to the default pattern for that index 
number. 

 

Using the command with no parameter sets all line types to the defaults.

WU - Select unit for pen width 

WU [ 

t

 ] [;] 

t

 ; unit type 

 

This command specifies the pen width unit.    It applies to all pens. 

 

t

 must be either 0 or 1. 

 

If t is 0 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as a reading 
in millimeters. 

 

If t is 1 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as percentage 
of the distance between the scaling points P1 and P2.    The default width is 0.1% of the diagonal distance 
from P1 to P2.
