set default setting for ruler in IC6/12

Hi,

 

Anyone know what i can put in my init file to set some default settings for ruler?

I don't want rulers as a savable object, snap target none and not selectable.

I have the follwing in my .cdsinit, but it's not working

leSetObjectSelectable("ruler" nil )
leCreateRulerForm->rulerTabs->page1->rulerSavable->value= nil
leCreateRulerForm->rulerTabs->page1->rulerSnapTarget->value="None"

When i paste the in my ciw, it does the trick

any ideas? (I'm using IC12)

Chris

     Hi Chris,

    I missed the other two points,  there is a cdsenv environment variable to control each of the other two options:

    layout saveRulers boolean nil
    layout rulerSnapTarget cyclic "None"
    

    These can also be set through SKILL:

    leSetEnv("saveRulers" nil)
    leSetEnv("rulerSnapTarget" "None")
    

    Hopefully this answers your question completely now. These are documented in the IC616 release (and other releases for the saveRulers option, it was documented earlier than the snap target variable).

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
