Name
rcd — Read from cursor and draw
Syntax
rcd [liw] [poi] [col] [max | min | hei] [sav] [tub] [dva] [noy] [chc] [lco] [set]
Description
rcd is used for digitizing both in 2D and 3D. It will read data by cursor-clicks on the left mouse button. The zoom (right) and pan (middle) mouse buttons can be used while digitizing.
When digitizing is ended, the result will be a dataset, usually present both in workspace ^rcd and as the active dataset. Check the Keyboard Shortcuts in the User Guide to learn what keys can be used for digitizing.
Tip
The digitizing functionality has a front-end in the Quick digitizing, found under Tools.
There are many alternative digitizers present in Geocap. The command edit, 
is one examle, other examples are the Shelf functionality for digitizing outer limits, the command Red snapper, 
and seismic interpretation.
Use acd - Append data from cursor to append instead of digitizing from scratch.
Arguments
liw line_width
Digitize with line_width ( 1 / 2 / 3 / ...).
tub
Display the digitized line in tube mode.
min | max
Digitize with height = @zmin | @zmax.
hei height
Digitize with height (z-value) set to height.
col color
Apply color color (color = red | gre | blu |...) when digitizing.
poi [lin]
Display only the points. lin means display also lines.
dva
Display value of the points.
sav workspace_name
Save digitized data in workspace workspace_name in addition to workspace ^rcd.
noy
The noy argument will disable the y key while digitizing. Ending the digitizing will enable the y key.
chc [whi | red | gre ...] | r g b
The chc argument will change the color when digitizing.
lco

set [cir] [cno] [hei] [dva] [col] [oll] [all] [crossing]

cir [col | rad radius] - Digitize and display a circle at digitizing position. Use col red|gre...etc. rad will set circle radius to radius.
cno [on|off] - connect to nearest point in active.
hei heightvalue - Digitize using z coordinate heightvalue .
dva [on|off] - Display z value during digitizing.
col whi|red|gre ... - Specify color in digitizing line.
oll - Use special s m c hotkeys in outer limit line digitizing.
all - Use special s m c hotkeys in all digitizing.
crossing value - Determines what will happen when digitizing picks up the crossing point of two lines.
Options in z value when digitizing picks up the crossing point of two lines
0: no action.
1: use z value from active line (default)
2: use z value from crossing line
