Testing valid shape

psill
psill over 13 years ago

I have a script that is doing layer booleans, modifiy, deleting shapes. I need a way to test if the variable has a valid shape. I am getting the message in the ciw  dbGetq: object is a purged/freed object - db:0x2ab1132fa2.

I know the shape it is specifying has been deleted. 

Is there clean way of testing if a shape/variable is valid in a boolean statement or a script that returns a boolean?

 Thanks

 I have tried some various uses of getWarn, errset, ~>isShape, symeval, and maybe some others.

    Have you tried this?

    dbIsId( 
    d_id 
    ) 
    => t / nil
     
    Returns t if the argument is a valid database object ID, otherwise,
    it returns nil.
