Problems with axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics in 16.x

Hi Everyone. I have some SKILL code that uses axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics to place a simple rectangle showing the size of the item about to be placed. This code works fine in 15.7 as does the axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics. When I run this code in 16.2, everything still works fine except the axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics does not add the rectangle to the cursor but still returns t (data added).

The code includes forms and subroutines but basically comes to this:

axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics(0:0 axlPathStart(list(0:0 1000:0 1000:1000 0:1000 0:0 ) ) "path" ?ref_point 0:0)
pick = axlEnterPoint( ?prompts "Enter Location" )

Does anyone have any ideas why axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics will return t (data added) but not show anything on the cursor?

The rectangle is being added - it's being removed by the axlEnterPoint function.

Thanks Dave. Do you know if this behaviour changed from 15.7? Because I don't have the rectangle being removed in 15.7. So if this is the case does anyone know how to make axlAddSimpleMoveDynamics work when requiring a pick? Is there another function I should be using in this scenario?

I think it's probably a bug in 16.x. It's not always repeatable in 16.2.
