    cv=geGetEditCellView()
    hs=geCreateHilightSet(cv list("y0" "drawing"))  ; pick the layer-purpose-pair you wish to use.
    hs~>enable=t
    geAddHilightFig(hs objId)  ; objId is the dbId of the object you want to highlight.

    HI,

    Thanks Andrew. It is working. Is it possible to add thick highlight ?

    Thanks,

    You can either use a layer-purpose with a thick line defined (I think - I didn't test recently) or use halos:

    geSetHilightSetHaloParameters(hs "over" "plain" "thin" 20)

    (there's "thick" too but that's pretty thick). See the documentation for info on the controls.

    I tried to delete/remove this markers using below command but it is not working

    geDeleteHilightSet(hs)

    Thanks,

    Yes it does (I do this all the time, and I just checked with the code above, and it works perfectly). I suspect you probably created more than one hilight set and so you've overwritten the hs variable with a newer hilight set, and have lost track of the older hilight set - so you can no longer remove it because you don't have a handle to it any more?

    If you do that, you'd just have to close the window and reopen. If you manage it properly though, this wouldn't be an issue.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
