| PARAMETER | -A |
| Purpose | This parameter defines what the largest physical drawing size will be allowed when using European (DIN) standard media. |
| Values |
0 -- DIN A0 1 -- DIN A1 2 -- DIN A2 3 -- DIN A3 4 -- DIN A4 5 -- DIN A5 |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI, HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES |
| PARAMETER | -CE |
| Purpose | This parameter defines the encoding mechanism for a CGM file that is to be output. This parameter is only applicable to CGM files. |
| Values |
1 -- Character 2 -- Binary 3 -- Clear Text |
| Use | CGM only |
| PARAMETER | -CM |
| Purpose | This parameter defines how the output drawing should be scaled in relationship to the input drawing. |
| Notes |
Scale to Nearest Size and Scale to Set Size both use the sizes listed by Largest European Drawing Size or Largest U. S. Drawing Size (depending on the Drawing Size Mode). |
| Values |
0 -- Maintain original size |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI, HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES |
| PARAMETER | -CP |
| Purpose | This parameter defines the profile for the output CGM file. This parameter is only used when creating CGM files. |
| Values |
0 -- None 1 -- MIL-D-28003/BASIC-1 2 -- MIL-D-28003A/BASIC-1.2 3 -- ATA Spec 100 Level 1 Class 2 4 -- ProfileId:ATA GRAPHICS.GREXCHANGE V2 ColourClass: color 5 -- ActiveCGM |
| Use | CGM only |
| PARAMETER | -CV |
| Purpose | This parameter defines the virtual device coordinate mechanism for the output CGM file. This parameter is only used when creating CGM files. |
| Values |
0 -- 16 bit Integer 1 -- 32 bit Integer 2 -- 32-bit Floating Point |
| Use | CGM only |
| PARAMETER | -DX |
| Purpose | This parameter allows you to make horizontal adjustments in Adobe image-format files. |
| Values | Enter the number of points you want this drawing moved horizontally from the lower-left corner of the page. Positive numbers move the image to the right, negative numbers move it to the left. |
| Use | PostScript output only |
| PARAMETER | -DY |
| Purpose | This parameter allows you to make vertical adjusments in Adobe image-format files. |
| Values | Enter the number of points you want this drawing moved vertically from the lower-left corner of the page. Positive numbers move the image up the page, negative numbers move it down. |
| Use | PostScript output only |
| PARAMETER | -EN |
| Purpose | This parameter allows you to select the encoding algorithm. |
| Values |
0 = Binary 1 = Clear text 2 = Character |
| Use | CGM only |
| PARAMETER | -MA |
| Purpose | This parameter defines whether a margin is maintained around the drawing when the image is scaled to fit the output media. |
| Values |
0 -- No 1 -- Yes (Default) |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI, HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES |
| PARAMETER | -N |
| Purpose | This parameter defines the font name if the Default Font flag has been set to "User Defined". |
| Notes | Default value: Arial. You can enter any font name (using the font menu name) as long as the font is present in your system. |
| Use | AI, DWF, EPS, PDF, PS only |
| PARAMETER | -PF |
| Purpose | This parameter defines which font is used in the output file. |
| Values |
0 -- Helvetica 1 -- Arial |
| Use | AI, EPS, PDF, PS |
| PARAMETER | -PP |
| Purpose | This parameter defines the number of decimals of precision to the right of the decimal point in Adobe-type output files. |
| Notes | Since
these files use the Point (1/72 of an inch) as their unit of measurement
the effect of this command is to define whether the precision of the file
is 1/72", 1/720", 1/7200" and so on. Any value over 2 will not really help
and will just make the output file larger. Negative numbers are not allowed. |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI |
| PARAMETER | -R |
| Purpose | This parameter defines whether the drawing should be always scaled to fit a particular paper orientation (either Portrait or Landscape) or whether the orientation is determined by "best fit". |
| Values |
0 -- Portrait 1 -- Landscape 2 -- Best Fit (Default) |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI, HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES |
| PARAMETER | -ROT |
| Purpose | This parameter enables you to rotate the drawing in large-scale increments in a counter-clockwise direction. |
| Values |
0 = Either no rotation or 360 degree rotation 90 = Rotates 90 degrees to left 180 = Rotates 180 degrees to left 270 = Rotates 270 degrees to left |
| Use | PDF, PS, AI only |
| PARAMETER | -U |
| Purpose | This parameter defines the largest physical drawing size allowed when using U. S. (ANSI) standard media. |
| Values |
1 or A -- ANSI A 2 or B -- ANSI B 3 or C -- ANSI C 4 or D -- ANSI D 5 or E -- ANSI E |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI, HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES |
| PARAMETER | -VE |
| Purpose | This parameter defines which application version (of a specific output file) will be generated. For instance entering -V2 would result in creation of a DWF Version 2 file. |
| Notes | This parameter applies only to DWF and IGES files. |
| Use | DWF and IGES |
| PARAMETER | -Y |
| Purpose | This parameter defines whether U. S. (ANSI) or European (DIN) standard media is used. |
| Values |
0 -- European (DIN) 1 -- U. S. (ANSI) |
| Use | PDF, EPS, PS, AI, HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES |
