Subject: Reading the CGM standard: LINE AND EDGE TYPE DEFINITION
Dear all,
Here is a technical question on CGM coming from Philippe Buffet which is working for me, here in Airbus.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi all,
I have a question about Line and Edge Type Definition.
I have made the following definition:
26:LINE AND EDGE TYPE DEFINITION Offset:314 Length:12
P1 : Line Type Value: -4
P2 : Dash Cycle Repeat Length Value: 608
P3 : number of elements Value: 4
P4 : element Value: 10000
P5 : element Value: 2000
P6 : element Value: 1000
P7 : element Value: 2000
However, in the ISO CGM functional specification, I found the following paragraph:
"The dash cycle repeat length defines the length of one complete cycle of the dash pattern. The lengths of
the dash elements are normalized so that the sum of the specifiers in the list of dash elements equals the
dash cycle repeat length."
Does that mean that I should have used 15000 as "Dash Cycle Repeat Length" value instead of 608 or does I just misunderstand the ISO specification ? I am a bit confused as metachek accepts the above Line and Edge type definition.
Every help or comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
