E Element

  • Article

Contains a nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) formula.

Syntax

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

Attributes

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM; however, because the E cell should always contain a NURBS() function, a Unit attribute of NURBS should always be specified as well. For details about NURBS, 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.
