ld

The ld macro adds a linear dimension to your pattern.

It is provided by plugin-annotations, which is part of core-plugins (so it is available by default).

Signature

macro('ld', {
  Number d,
  String id = 'ld',
  Point from,
  Boolean noEndMarker,
  Boolean noStartMarker,
  String text,
  Point to,
  Boolean force = false,
})

Example

Code

({ Point, macro, part }) => {

  macro('ld', {
    from: new Point(0,0),
    to: new Point(100,20),
    d:15,
    force: true,
  })

  return part
}

Configuration

Property	Default	Type	Description
from		Point	The startpoint of the dimension
to		Point	The endpoint of the dimension
d	0	Number	The offset at which to draw the dimension
id	ld	string	The ID of this macro instance
text	Linear distance	Number	The text to go on the dimension if not the from-to linear distance
noStartMarker	false	Boolean	Whether to not draw a start marker
noEndMarker	false	Boolean	Whether to not draw an end marker
force	false	boolean	Set this to true to display the macro output even when paperless is false

Notes

This macro takes the paperless setting into account and won't output anything when both paperless and force are false.
