pcDefinePathRefPointObject

pcDefinePathRefPointObject(
l_objects
S_param
t_endpoint
) 
=> d_refPointId

Description

Specifies that the location of an object or group of objects in the instance be determined by the location of the endpoint of a parameterized path. The objects in the instance have the same relationship to the endpoint of the digitized path in the instance as the objects in the master cellview have to the corresponding endpoint of the parameterized path in the master cellview.

Arguments

l_objects	List of objects whose locations are to be determined by the endpoint of a parameterized path.
S_param	Name of the parameter controlling the parameterized path whose endpoint determines the location of the objects. By default, this parameter is coords.
t_endpoint	Endpoint of the path that determines the location of the objects. Valid Values: first, last

Value Returned

d_refPointId

Group ID used to store the details of the parameterized reference point.

Examples

pcDefinePathRefPointObject( list ( via ) 'coords "first" )

Causes the object via to be located relative to the first vertex of the coords parameter. The coords parameter controls the vertices of a parameterized path.
