Overdrive Pro Prompts Drawing Tokens

Previous | Next

---

The rest of the columns in the Prompts tab are used to create new drawing tokens.  You are able to create new drawing tokens for: Metafile Pictures, 2D Plan View, 2D Elevation View, Cross Sections, Elevation Sections, and Plan Sections.  Each of these categories is listed on the Prompts tab and has nine parameter columns used for the drawing tokens.

To create a new drawing token for a category, you would add in a drawing token command under the category you would like to change.  Each drawing token command has its own set of parameters that change the drawing token.  The drawing tokens and their parameters are:
