    Hi all,

    I'm trying to modify our custom menu and the following snippet is from a
    command that changes linetypes.

    I figured out that the [ ldashed] part is how it's listed in the pull down.
    The portion that comes after "ldashed" defines the linetype. What does the
    $p10=p10x mean? What part, if any, tells it to load the linetype if it isn't
    currently loaded?

    [contin.]CONTINUOUS $p10=p10x
    [ldashed]ldashed $p10=p10x
    [DASHED]DASHED $p10=p10x
    [sdashed]sdashed $p10=p10x
    [HIDDEN]HIDDEN $p10=p10x
    [mhidden]mhidden $p10=p10x

    It continues from here as more of the same. I just didn't think you needed
    that mess too.

    Thanks for the help.

    Thank you. Although I'm not so sure I completely understand that it does
    give me a direction and a clue.


    $p10 POP10 (as displayed)
    $p10x P10x (as coded)

    $p10=$p10x (replace POP10 with P10x)

    P10x may be a Symbol defined (or stored) via Lisp... and changed to
    different values as the LISP requires.

    P10x may be simply define in your MNU/MNS file.
