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

    Hi Andrew,  That does not work  as with repeat command because if we draw few rulers without canceling hiCreateRuler function, we are may not able to again latest. So it fails. If we need to do so, then we need to go for enter functions and  re-code entire ruler creation procedure. Can we get basic ruler drawing ruler code?

    Out requirement is we are doing some operations on layout depending on the latest ruler. If already exist old rulers the functions what I coded for operations misbehave.

    Also, when hiCreateRuler() is active, the edge gets highlighted(snapping the edges.) If we want to do such hiligiting/sanpping to edge by mouse pointer how can we code? Can you please help me.
