How to display on screen text prompts?

girig
girig over 11 years ago

Hi,

 Similar to the on-screen prompts that Toolbox commands display on the graphical layout window, is there a way to display custom text through skill? One could use labels, but then is there a way to get rid of the + (plus) sign displayed on a label text? 

 Thanks,

Giri.

    Sorry if this is off topic, just trying understand hilight set objects and minize trial and error.

    Are the objects valid objects in the cellview?

    Does the cell have to be open in edit to create the hilight set?

    The only way to delete the objects is with geDeleteHilightSet?

    Where can I read more about hilight sets?

    I was looking to create a object similar to ruler:
       Can be drawn in read mode
       Not saved to cellview
       Easily view to mark a position
       Without the numbers associated the ruler

    Thanks
    Paul
