checkHalfWidthPathSeg

layout checkHalfWidthPathSeg cyclic { "off" | "notify" | "enforce" | "never" }

Description

Provides control for checking the width of a path segment with respect to the width of the path. This environment variable applies to commands used for creating and editing paths, including ROD MPPs and their sub paths.

• off: Default. No warning appears when you create or edit a path that has a segment length less than half the path width, except if it is the first or last segment. If you create or edit the first or last segment of the path with a length less than half the path width, the endStyle extension is used to determine the segment length.
• notify: A warning dialog box appears when you create or edit a path that has a segment length less than half the path width. If you confirm to create or edit the short segment as an intended action, the path is created or updated, else the last attempted edit is ignored.
• enforce: It does not allow you to create a path segment with length less than half the path width.
