Further investigation of fixed parameters. Embedded requires a decimalised number to be added when using size as the first parameter. Intellicad can run with a single integer. The saving in keystrokes(and character spaces in the code entry) is lost when fixed parameters is used in Embedded. For Example , If I wish to scale a tree by 10 and add a description such as height prior to fixed parameters being introduced I would enter the following,
trA sc10/15 where trA carried a tree symbol which would be scaled(sc) by 10 for the spread and put 15 in my plotDesc layer.
With the fixed parameter set for code trA as scale,description I would expect to enter
trA 10 15
This works fine with Intellicad. To achieve the same result in Embedded I have to enter the following
trA 10.0 15 or
trA1 10,10.0 15
If I am using the first format with Embedded I get two symbols, one very large and one very small. As I have had to put Intellicad in hibernation until it runs without crashing, it would be nice if Embedded would operate as expected.
