Temporary highlight

Khurana

Is there a way to find out the dbid of an object that's temporary highlighted?  If yes, how - thanks!

  • In that case, I think axlGetSelSet() would work for what you're trying to do (see below).

    last pick:  3600.0000  5200.0000
    No element found.
    Skill > axlGetSelSet()
    nil
    last pick:  3500.0000  5600.0000
    Symbol "Npin1181" assigned color.
    Skill > axlGetSelSet()
    (dbid:247928168)

    Of course, this only works for the currently selected symbol and while you are still in the highlight command.  To get more than one symbol you could right-click and Temp Group.  Hopefully this helps for what you're trying to do.
