New to skill, looking to do something simple, add text to a path

gstarr

I am new to skill coding and am trying to do something pretty simple but having some trouble and haven't been able to find something to help me out.  Basically I am trying to create a path and then add text to it for the path name.  I can generate the paths using the leCreatePath command but I can't find the right command and format for adding text to the path.  Ideally I would like the text to be attached to the path.  Any help would be greatly appriciated.

    Hi,

    You can create a label using the dbCreateLabel() function, and then attach it to the path database object using the leAttachFig() function. 

    
  let( (pathObj label)
    pathObj = leCreatePath( ... )
    ;; when the path was created, create the label for it
    when(pathObj
      label   = dbCreateLabel( ... )
      ;; when the label is created, attach it to the path
      when(label
        leAttachFig(label pathObj)
      ); when the label was created
    ); when the path was created
  ); let

    Hopefully this is enough information to get this working for you?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
