highlighting multi patterned metals???

boomme

I was wondering if there is a simple skill function for highlighting specific patterned metals... green or red.... color1 or color2

I know that the Multiple Pattern Assistant has the functionality... but I would like to assign that same functionality to a toggle hotkey, so that I can quickly highlight/unhighlight  the separate colors without having to invoke the assistant.

( I hate eating up the window space with the assistant when that is the only thing I am needing to do).

I guessing there isn't a simple single procedural call... does anyone have some code for this?

Thanks for any help.

    Hi,

    I think that you want the following:

    
    dptShowMaskColor("M2" 1 t)
    dptShowMaskColor("M2" 1 nil)
    dptShowMaskColor("M2" 2 t)
    dptShowMaskColor("M2" 2 nil)
    ;; and so on ... 

    I do not see a command for 'getting' or reading the current state of the multi-pattern mask color display, so a toggle feature may be difficult to implement?

    Hope this helps,

    Lawrence.
