Synopsis

curveSketchCtx [-degree uint] [-exists] [-history boolean] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-name string] [object]

curveSketchCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The curveSketchCtx command creates a new curve sketch context, also known as the "pencil context".

Return value

string(name of the new curve sketch context)

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

degree, exists, history, image1, image2, image3, name
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-degree(-d) uint createqueryedit
Valid values are 1 or 3
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-history(-ch) boolean create
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.
-image1(-i1) string createqueryedit
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit

MEL examples

// To create a new sketch context, which creates degree 3 curves:
curveSketchCtx -degree 3;

// To query the degree of an existing context:
curveSketchCtx -q -degree pencilContext;

// To edit the degree of an existing context:
curveSketchCtx -e -degree 1 pencilContext;
