Quick Align Pointer

EA1000

Hi Everyone, 

I need help. I'm doing script right now. 

Does anyone here know how I can capture the first point (reference point) and second point in QuickAlign, like getting their layer names when I left-click the mouse? The geGetSelSet here is not working. 

In addition, is there any chance that I can modify and reuse the leHiQuickAlign() locally? 

Thanks a lot!

  • It's not clear what you are asking for here. Are you wanting to implement something yourself which prompts the user to get a reference point and so on? If so, that's what enterPoints() does. Or enterPoint(). You might need to then use dbGetTrueOverlaps or dbShapeQuery to find objects under those points and get the layer name.

    Or maybe you're asking something else.

    Hi Andrew,

    Example for this simple script:

    procedure(printLayer()

    gs = geGetObjectSelectedSet()~>layerName
    printf("=> %L\n" gs)


    )
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "None<Btn1Down>" "printLayer() mouseSingleSelectPt()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "None<Btn1Down>EF" "printLayer() mouseAddPt()")

    When I click the left mouse button, there's a delay before the layer name appears—I have to click again somewhere else for it to show up. Is there a way to fix this so the layer name prints in real time every time I click, without any delay?

    Thanks,

    There's no "delay" - it's just that your bindkey does the selection after the call to printLayer, which makes no sense. That means that you'll only print the information on the previous selection.

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "None<Btn1Down>" "mouseSingleSelectPt() printLayer()")

    should do what you want.
