axlDBOpenShape() not working for dynamic shapes

jwhend over 11 years ago

Is there away to open a dynamic shape?

I tried axlDBOpenShape(current_shape) and Get "W- *WARNING* (axlDBOpenShape): Cannot edit a generated shape."

I use this to open static shapes and it works fine, but need to be able to open both.

Thanks,

Jerry

For dynamic shapes, you must open the dynamic shape (BOUNDARY class) not the generated shape (ETCH class).
To obtain the boundary shape from a generate shape (assumes generatedShape is the Skill variable hold the shape dbid)
boundaryShape = generatedShape->shapeBoundary
