changing Ruler Display Type thru envSetVal

MalcolmWhite

Just wondering this question : I would like to change the value of ruler variable "rulerDisplayType" which lists as type 'cyclic in HELP menu

I can see the environment variable value with envGetVal, but I cannot change it with envSetVal - it appears I must address this by calling the

form where this setting is used by changing the value in leCreateMeasurementForm->displayType->value.

Just wondering why this situation works like this.  Is this because the variable type is 'cyclic ?  would it be changeable with envSetVal if it

was a boolean type ?

thanks

Malcolm

    Hi Malcolm,

    Looking at the create measurement command and form, it seems that the env variable is only looked at the very first time the command is used in a session. It probably should update the form each time it is used.

    I filed CCR 2043242 for this. You might want to contact customer support and ask for a duplicate to be filed on your behalf so that you can track this (always helps to get the request from a customer rather than just me internally).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
