Example code for the id PRIM_AXIS in Oprimitiveaxis

Note that this is not the actual code from the Oprimitiveaxis file.

This code is just an example to show you how to add a similar control to your own description.

Resource File Code (Oprimitiveaxis.res)


LONG  PRIM_AXIS
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         PRIM_AXIS_XP; 
        PRIM_AXIS_XN; 
        PRIM_AXIS_YP; 
        PRIM_AXIS_YN; 
        PRIM_AXIS_ZP; 
        PRIM_AXIS_ZN; 
    }
}
