Can we create a rectangle with the flight layers

Neeraj Vardhan

Hi,

 

Is it possible to create rectangles of given bbox with the flight layers in layout. Currently i am using marker layer but want to change it to flight layers for neat vissibilty of error. Basically i just need a rectangle over my error box not a cross over it. 

 

Regards

    Yes. Just provide the right layer-purpose-pair to the dbCreateRect function. Isn't that obvious? Or am I missing something? If you know how to create a rectangle on the marker layer, surely you can do it for any other layer too?

    Hi Andrew,

    The script is running fine after i closed the tool. I wanted to add few features to the script such as

    1. it should automatically pick the bBox of the prBoundary layer without the need of selecting it such as this command geGetSelSet().

    2. I want to delete all the highlites done by flight layer with one bindkey.

     

    Regards'

    Neeraj,

    I see no reason why you should have to close the tool to make this work, but I can't see your code.

    Where you just telling us what you're planning to do in your second two points, or was there a question that you meant to ask? Neither are difficult, and reading the documentation and some experimentation would allow you to implement them both easily.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Andrew, I am not sure even how it started working after an exit. Coming to the script, I am using a script developed internal to my company and trying to make it more valuable. Basically it reports bBox of some errors with reference to the bBox, i wanted to load it and be highlighted by the flight layer by a bindkey then i wanted to remove these flight layers by a bindkey. I am unable to find the bBox of the prBoundary with out selecting it. So wanted to ask is there a command or line of code to do this. And the second one is how can i delete all the flight layers with one bindkey. If you could tell me how can we achieve about two points it will be helpful. Thanks for a prompt reply . Regards Neeraj

    Are you using IC5141 or IC61X? I need to know this for the prBoundary information, because it's different between CDB and OA databases.

    procedure(CCFdeleteLayer(@key (cvId geGetEditCellView()) (layerName "y0") (purpose "flight"))
      foreach(shape
        car(exists(lpp cvId~>lpps lpp~>layerName==layerName && lpp~>purpose==purpose))~>shapes
        dbDeleteObject(shape)
      )
      t
    )

    Then call:

    CCFdeleteLayer(?layerName "theLayer" ?purpose "drawing")

    or whatever. I didn't know what you meant by "flight" layer - so I just picked a layer with a flight purpose.

    To find the bBox of the prBoundary, that's easy:

    geGetEditCellView()~>prBoundary~>bBox

    Regards,

    Andrew.
