Checkbox Interaction:

Every CAD object can be connected with a function.
Selection of the object starts the function.

  OFF: Interaction will not be done.

  ON:  Interaction will be done.
       You can select only objects with interaction.


Identification code for Interactions is letter "I".





____________________________________________________________________________

Interact.connect
Connect a CAD object with an interaction.
   Selecting the CAD objects (Anchor object) triggers the interaction.
   anchor-object can be any object.

Examples of interactions are:
  - Load a model (such as HTM-HREF; LDMOD)
  - Change the View position (Change view VIEW)
  - Start/Run a plug-in program (DLL) (EXECM)
  - modify a numeric value (MODVAL)
  - use already defined interaction for another object


  connect object      select an existing anchor-object
  command             commantext, see below



command:
   - Load a model:
       LOAD "SymbolicDirectory/Model Name"
   - Viewport change:
       VIEW (ViewPortData)
       With Insert/View port (or Alt-Shift-V) you can generate
       the current viewport data.
   - Starting a Plug-in Program (DLL):
       EXECM {DLL-Name}
   - Modify a numeric value (eg. variable 20):
       MODVAL V20
     modify the y-value (the second value) of point P25 (P25=P(100 200 0))
       MODVAL P25 1
   - use already defined interaction I20 for new anchor-object
       I20



Interaction Format:
I# = {anchor-object} {command}


Examples:

# select P20 to modify V20
V20=VAL(100)
P20=P(V20 100 0)
I20=P20 "MODVAL V20"
#



# select circle or tag
V20=10
P20=P(0 0 0)
C20=P20 V20
# info only
N21=TAG P(10 0 10) "sel. circ to mod. radius"
# modify radius of C20
I21=C20 "MODVAL V20"
# modify z-value of P20
N20=TAG P(10 0) 0 "modify-z-of-P20"
I20=N20 "MODVAL P20 2"
#





# Selecting Model1 activates the specified port view.
I1 = M1 "VIEW ..."

# Selection of text 20 loads the model Assy_H86.
I2 = N20 "LDMOD Data/Assy_H86"

# Selecting Note 20 starts the plug-in program tst3.so.
I3 = N20 "EXECM tst3"

# using same interaction for another object:
I20 = N20 'VIEW ... "
I21 = N21 I20
