***************************** INFO MANAGER **************************** This table should be a helpful tool to analyse all included INFOS of a drawing, show the elements ON/OFF or COLORED, be able to add and change the INFOS comfortably. The functions in detail: INFO: the current INFO Prefix will be displayed following this. Only Infos will be managed, which begin with this string. The default Startprefix is 'LAYER: '. You can change the prefix with this function. It will be displayed a table with any choices. You can append any items in the macro lastingly or type your choice. Of course you can type an own string. ATTENTION: Be sure you know what you do. It's dangerous to use an ambiguous Infoprefix. You destroy the other if you change the INFOS. It works like a search mask. Use only the string 'L' all LAYER will be merged or deleted. Rescan: Read all Infos of the loaded drawing. That will take some time. Many elements - many time. It shows all INFOS "ON" and fills the table with the INFOS like a search mask "Infoprefix*". TXT out: If there are many elements in the drawing and you works always with the same INFOS, you can store the contents of the table to a file. The file will be called . without any dangerous letters. TXT in: Now you can load the stored file into the table. Look at the current Infoprefix. The macro looks in the file to load the same INFOS. New: Set the current INFO to the selected, or create a new one. The current is marked by an 'x' in Column 2. ALL ON: It shows all INFOS "ON" and makes all rows at column 3 white. ALL OFF: It shows all INFOS "OFF" and makes all rows at column 3 black. Ask: After selecting a element, it shows the INFOS of this one at the display row. This is a LOOP! Change: Select a row at column 1 and then select the elements which should be changed to this one. ATTENTION: In this funktion, an element has only this INFO! You can only select elements, they have always the current Infoprefix. Otherwise use Add. Add: Select a row at column 1 and then select the elements which should be added to this one. In this funktion an element has the old and the new INFOS. With Z_LEVEL this function is deactivated. Isn't a good idea to have more than one Z_LEVEL for one element. Rename: Select a row at column 1 and type the new description. All elements with this info will be changed to the new. If you type a INFO that exist, the old info will deleted. The last three functions don't working with the current Infoprefix Z_LEVEL or nothing (ALL INFOS). It's too dangerously. Colors: Select a color and then a row at column 1, all elements will be show in this color and also column 3 in this row. AUT: A randomizer create the colors and shows the INFOS and Column 3 in this one. This is a quick and dirty procedere, to look what's the matter with the INFOS. Function at column 2: Select a row at this column and the current info will be set to the name at column 1. You will see a 'x' in this cell. Function at column 3: There are the easiest way to show some INFOS ON or OFF. If you select a white cell, the INFOS will show OFF and the cell will be black. If you select any other colored cell, the INFOS will show "ON" normally and the cell will be white. Known problems: Sometimes there are INFOS in a drawing with no elements. I think thats a bug of ME10. It's possible, that partnames contains that, or pieces of a hatch. You will never seen some effects with SHOW ON/OFF. If you deleting elements by select an INFO, you will be astonished or not.
