Marknet env variables and values

psill000

I did a dump of the env variables and grep -i mark | grep layout and did not see the layer of current env value of the marknet hilite layer.

Is there a env variable that has the value of the Auto Hilight Color value in the Mark net function?
How to get it?

How to change it or get it to cycle?

Get the list of layers used in leHiMarkNet?

    Thanks for the info

    I will create a variable to cycle through the y[0-9] layers, if there is no way to get the current hilite

    Why do you need to create a variable and set it to particular layers to cycle it - that's what envSetVal("layout" "markNetAutoColorCycle" 'boolean t) does (that's the default behaviour too). Perhaps you're using an older version before that was implemented? In which case, it would be useful to know which sub-version you're using so I can check...

    Regards,

    I tried the script by defining and undefined the hilite layer.

    When I dont set the value it takes the current hilite layer a wont change till I use the leHiMarknet to cycle to the next layer.

    So I set the value to rotate the layer for the different nets I mark.

    I was wanting to get the current env hilite value and toggle through its values. Furthermore, if the user wanted a single color or rotate it would be under the users control.

    I don't really understand - I must be missing something. Can't you just hit F3 and change this yourself? It's under the user's control already...
