Forms Construction
Purpose Produces vertical lines inside a box to construct forms.
Mode Graphics with an Extended Graphics Command selected.
Format (cc) LF
horz vert h v line1 t line2 t (cc)G(cc)-
(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V
configuration.
LF The Forms Construction command. Enter LF.
horz Defines the horizontal length of the form in tenth
inches and dot columns. Enter a three-digit
horizontal length value ranging from 000 through
999 to define a horizontal length of 00.0 through
99.9 inches. Add a fourth digit ranging from 0
through 9 to specify 0 through 9 additional dot
columns of length. The Code V automatically
understands the decimal between the second and
third digits for tenth inches and automatically
interprets the fourth digit as dot columns. For
example, entering 0126 specifies a 1.2-inch plus 6-
dot column horizontal length; entering 1016
specifies a 10.1-inch plus 6-dot column horizontal
length.
vert Defines the vertical length of the form in tenth
inches and dot rows. Enter a three-digit vertical
length value ranging from 000 through 999 to
define a vertical length of 00.0 through 99.9 inches.
Add a fourth digit ranging from 0 through 9 to
specify 0 through 9 additional dot rows of length.
The Code V automatically understands the decimal
between the second and third digits for tenth inches
and automatically interprets the fourth digit as dot
rows. For example, entering 0204 specifies a 2.0-
inch plus 4-dot row vertical length; entering 0242
specifies a 2.4-inch plus 2-dot row vertical length.
h Defines the horizontal border thickness in dot
columns. Enter a number ranging from 1 through 9
to specify a horizontal border thickness from 1
through 9 dots.
v Defines the vertical border thickness in dot rows.
Enter a number ranging from 1 through 9 to specify
a vertical border thickness from 1 through 9 dots.
line1 Defines the vertical line position in tenth inches and
dot columns from the form left edge or prior vertical
line right edge. Therefore, the line value for all but
the first vertical line is actually the gap between the
right edge of the previous line and the left edge of
the current line. Enter a three-digit position value
ranging from 000 through 999 to define a position
