Properties (.NAME)

A property of a value by name: an element's point, a fillet's centre …

Syntax

value.NAME

Argument	Meaning
value	An element (`@5`), or the result of an expression such as FILLET.
NAME	The property, in any case.

Result

The property's value; an element's point (START, END, CENTER …) as its position.

Examples

In the example drawing:

Expression	Gives
`@5.START`	`[0,0]`
`@5.END`	`[100,0]`
`FILLET(@5,@7,40).CENTER`	`[35.2786,40]`

Notes

For an element, .START and .END are its own points; the points it is defined by have the names its file line gives them (a circle's .CENTER, a Bézier's .CONTROL1 …).

For a part placed in the drawing, .P3 is a point of the part's own drawing, placed where the part is (moved, turned, or fitted to its part markers) and worked out with the part's values: P10=@5.P3. It follows the part when the part is moved, and the part's drawing when that changes. Snapping to a part's point makes one of these for you.

A list or dictionary has .COUNT; a list .FIRST and .LAST; a dictionary .KEYS and .VALUES.
