accessing leWeChooseLayerForm

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to include leWeChooseLayerForm in our custom scripts? I want the user to pick a LPP when the user clicks a point in the layout canvas. I can write the skill function for this but I came across leWeChooseLayerForm.

Is there any inbuilt function to access this LPPform?

Hi Ramakrishnan,

I wouldn’t do that (I’m not sure which version you’re using - but I’m not sure that form is necessarily guaranteed to exist, nor exists in all versions).

One approach would be to call leHiLayerTap() - this will prompt you if there’s ambiguity of the layer where you click, and then set the current layer (retrievable with leGetEntryLayer() ) to be whatever you choose.

Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew for the response. How do I call leHiLayerTap() on a specific point? Is there anything like leLayerTap(?pt enterPoint())

In the end I need to save both the point and LPP

Ramakrishnan,

Yes. Use preXY(thePoint) before calling leHiLayerTap(). For example:

point=enterPoint()
preXY(point)
leHiLayerTap()

Thanks Andrew. preXY() is something new that I learnt here.
