changing layer names

deep242003

 Hi,

 I am new to this forum

I have

cv~>layerName = ("M1" "M2")  and temp = ("M2" "M1").

I want to change the layername as per temp.

cv~>layerName="M1" changes both layers to "M1".

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

  • You've made the code rather complicated - I don't see any good reason why you loop over the shapes twice. Also, using "cv" as a variable for a shape is rather confusing... Something like this would be clearer and more concise (and would solve your problem):

    procedure(CCFup()
      let((newLayer)
        foreach(fig geGetSelectedSet()
          newLayer=case(fig~>layerName
            ("M0" "M1")
            ("M1" "M2")
          )
          when(newLayer
            fig~>layerName=newLayer
          )
        )
       t
      )
    )

    I'm sure you can rewrite the down version using a similar approach (note, I didn't test this - but should work). It doesn't print a message when the limit is reached - it just silently doesn't change it. That's because the case() function returns nil in that case, as it would if it wasn't a shape, and the layer name is only updated if it got a new layer.
