Latest Ruler in a layout window

JackPro

Hi Andrew,

I have skill code requirement like this:

I will draw many rulers in the layout window. Is there any way to find the latest ruler which exist on the layout window?

If the ruler is a save-able object, we can undo them in a order they are drawn. But I am not able to get latest ruler in skill code.

Regards,

Venkatraman

    Why don't you check the rulers before calling leHiCreateRuler() and then again afterwards rather than using undo?

    Unfortunately even the leCreateRuler() API doesn't return the dbId of the ruler (this is for historical reasons - rulers weren't implemented using database objects in the past). That might be one solution - although presumably you'd want the interactive benefits of using leHiCreateRuler.

    Perhaps if I understood why it matters to you to find the last ruler, I might be able to suggest an option?

    If anything, if you really have to find the last one, I'd probably go for relying on the order in the database rather than using undo and redo. Perhaps it would just be best to contact customer support with sufficient details as to the problem you're trying to solve, so that an enhancement request to find the last ruler could be filed (you'd have to give some strong justification though for why you need this, I think).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
