Compute slope arrows

Not Lite

Compute slope arrows action performs about the same process as the Draw Slope Arrows tool. However, instead of drawing slope arrows immediately into the CAD file, the process writes the slope arrow parameters into text files.

The text files can be read into the CAD file by using the Read / Slope arrows command in order to visualize the slope arrows. The storage location and name of the output file(s) are defined in the action settings. If the macro runs on a project with several blocks, the file name should include a variable, such as the block name.

You must select the alignment element before starting a macro with the Compute slope arrows action.

macro_compute_slope_arrows

Return value: Number of arrows written in the text file, -1 if the process failed, or -2 if the output files could not be written.
