Hi All !!

I am again here with some new problem and expecting suggestion and  help from all of you.

 Now I would like to draw polygons/rectangales of one or more layer interactivley at the same time, Also If the layers alredy present want to delete the layer interactively using skill. Please help to do this...

Thank you in advance,

Satya

    Hi Satya,

    Use enterBox() to prompt the user for the location of the rectangle(s), maybe with an options form to control which layer names to create the rectangles on, and then in the doneProc of the enterBox use dbCreateRect to create the rectangles.

    Your requirement to delete existing shapes is rather imprecise - but that's just a matter of using dbDeleteObject on any shapes you want to delete.

    This seems pretty straightforward, and a little research (in the documentation, in this forum, and on Cadence Online Support) could have found you the answers to all of this. Perhaps your requirements are really more complicated? Or perhaps you just wanted somebody to write the code for you?

    Regards,

    Andrew
