Deleting ghost layer

dNora

 Hi,

I'm trying to delete ghost layers that exists in database but you can't select or view. I can get layers through

foreach(lpp cv~>lpps when(lpp~>purpose=="hv" printf("layer found %s %s\n" lpp~>layerName lpp~>purpose) ) )

dbDeleteObject complains it's invalid type, if I try to use ddDeleteObj then I get

 *Error* ddDeleteObj: argument #1 should be a ddUserType (type template = "b") - db:248248124

What other command can I use?

  • You are welcome.  I probably should have noted that the lpps (or layerPurposePairs) attribute is collected for levels of hierarchy that have been opened - so if you are at the level 0 and do not open or display levels below this (i.e. 1+ ) then you would only see lpps containing the layer purpose pairs from level 0 shapes.  I am glad that you figured it out though.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
