Methods:

Method Description
draw.get(GrpObj)

This method is the reverse of the draw.set() method. Instead of updating all the properties of all the sub-objects in a tool from a source object, this method updates the source object properties from the tool sub-object property values. GrpObj is the name of the tool containing the source sub-object property values. The object which is updated with the tool's sub-object property values is specified by the tool sub-object's name. The sub-object's name must start with an "_@". It is assumed that the characters following the "_@", and before any numeric digits, are the name of the object to receive the sub-object property values. The property values are assigned by matching the sub-object's control or label names with the object's property names. Note: The object's properties must be writable.

draw.set(GrpObj [, DefObj])

This method updates all the properties of all the sub-objects in a tool from a source object. GrpObj is the name of the tool. DefObj (optional) is the name of the default object that contains* the source values. *The properties of the tool sub-objects are updated from one of the following source objects:

  1. DefObj
  2. An object specified by the sub-object's name. If the sub-object's name starts with an "_@", then it is assumed that the characters following the "_@", and before any numeric digits, are the name of the source object to get the values from. If the sub-object's name does not start with an "_@", then DefObj is used as the source.

The property values are assigned by matching the source object's property names with the sub-object's control or label names.
Note: The tool's sub-object properties must be writable.

Examples:

The following script is equivalent to selecting Edit:Button Edit Mode.
