Create some objects then move with cursor

I'd like to create some objects, including pins, wires, and labels, in a schematic window. The objects created are not placed somewhere in the schematic dirrectly, but move with cursor, until mouse click. How to do with Skill? Thanks!

Martin,

It's not entirely clear what you want, but maybe geHiDragFig() is what you need? Alternatively, using one of the enter* functions (e.g. enterPoint(), enterBox() etc) to digitise the location.

Andrew,

Just like move objects selected in a schematic, after schHiStretch() + first point, there is shadow of the selected objects that move with cursor, until mouse left click (second point), the objects are placed at the second point in the schematic window. Here I want create the objects by Skill code, after that the shadow of the objects can move with cursor, until mouse click, the objects are placed at the final point.

Martin,

I wrote an article describing how to do this, giving some example code: How to place a set of objects interactively with a ghost image using SKILL
