LocalDef Function Example

Code

Function DisplayLocalDef(localNum As Integer)

' Function to display the definition status and values of a local coordinate system
' Parameter: localNum - Local coordinate system number (1-15)
' If the local coordinate system is defined, displays its values
' If not defined, displays a message indicating it is not defined
' If the input number is outside the valid range, displays an error message

   ' Validate input range (1-15)
   If localNum < 1 Or localNum > 15 Then
      ' Display error message for invalid range
      Print "Please enter a value for defined Local coordinate system from 1 to 15"
      Exit Function
   EndIf

   ' Check if the local coordinate system is defined and display appropriate message
   If LocalDef(localNum) = False Then
      ' Display message when not defined
      Print "Local " + Str$(localNum) + " is not defined"
   Else
      ' Display local coordinate system number and values when defined
      Print "Local " + Str$(localNum) + ":"
      Print Local(localNum)
   EndIf
Fend
