DrawingValue

This DCS network function was delivered in Helios 1.6.617 to provide a mechanism to obtain data from LoGetAircraftDrawArgumentValue which can be useful when information is needed about some aspect of a vehicle's external model. The argument ID for this network function is the animation ID (not the same as the ClickableData argument ID).

When specifying the Drawing argument ID in a JSON interface, the ID should be prefixed by the letter "D" so Drawing argument "38" would appear as "id": "D38" in the JSON. When the AircraftDrawArgumentValue is sent to Helios from the export driver, it also comes across using the "D" prefixed ID.

The prefix is necessary because ClickableData argument IDs (invariably numeric) and animation IDs can have the same number and the "D" is to ensure ID uniqueness.
