Position Element

  • Article

Specifies the position of a tab stop.

The tab position is independent of the scale of the drawing. If the drawing is scaled, the line weight remains the same.

Syntax

<Position
    [Unit]
    [F]
    [Err]>
</Position>

Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.
