Procedure Statements

Procedure statements in VectorScript call predefined VectorScript API function calls as well as user-defined procedures and functions to perform actions within a script. With VectorScript API function calls, the actions are performed directly by VectorWorks; user-defined function calls encapsulate other VectorScript source code; which is executed when the procedure statement is called in a script.

The general syntax for procedure statements is:

<procedure identifier>[(<parameter list>)][:<return value>];

Function calls such as:

Message('Hello VectorScript');

or

SetSelect(h);

are examples of procedure statements in VectorScript. For more details on user-defined procedures and functions, see User-Defined Procedures and User-Defined Functions.
