style point support

[ognjen-petrovic]

According to this https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-82F9BB52-D026-4D6A-ABA6-BF29641F459B-htm.html it is possible
Setting PDMODE and PDSIZE should change point style. I have not tried, will do that latter...

Okay thanks, I will be pending 👍

Hi,

You can achieve this by using the header() method, this method it's utility is to add header variables to dxf.

For this purpose there is tow variables in the HEADER section You can define $PDMODE and $PDSIZE.

• $PDMODE define the shape of the point.
• $PDSIZE define the size of the point.

const d = new Drawing();

// You can do:
d.header("PDMODE", [[70, value]]); // Where value is your real value.
d.header("PDSIZE", [[40, value]]); // Where value is your real value.

Normally you need to know the variable name and it's utility and add it to dxf with the header() method.
Please see HEADER Section.

• You can find here all possible values of $PDMODE (Header Variable).
• For $PDSIZE You can pass a negative value which make the point size relative to the screen, or a positive value makes the point size absolute.

Example:

d.header("PDMODE", [[70, 32]]);
d.header("PDSIZE", [[40, 10]]); // Size absolute.
// Or
d.header("PDSIZE", [[40, -10]]); // Size relative to the screen.

Always set the variable name uppercase and without the $ sign.

@ognjen-petrovic I think this did not need any implementation. Need only explanation.

This apply to all header variables.

Hi @tarikjabiri,

I tried your example (following image) :

I modified the values manually and finally can open the file on AUTOCAD, but the file have to be in the following structure

do you know where is the error?

Hi,

I am sorry my bad the code should look like this:

d.header("PDMODE", [[70, 32]]);
d.header("PDSIZE", [[40, 10]]); 

Array of arrays

Hi,
PDMODE fixed but can't open in AUTOCAD

Hi,

Is this dxf content generated by js-dxf ?

The 9 should be 0.

Did you change it manually ?

The dxf generated work fine.

I tried this example is working fine:

const d = new Drawing();

d.header("PDMODE", [[70, 32]]);
d.header("PDSIZE", [[40, 5]]);

d.drawPoint(0,0);
d.drawPoint(10,10);

Result:

The issue is resolved please close this issue

Regards.

Okay with your code it works, but i have a question :

i want the number 3 not 32, so should be the following the code ?

Thank you for everything!

@tarikjabiri @tarikjabiri Great, thanks.
Wondering would it be helpful to add method "setPointStyle" to Drawing class?
