How to get the visibility of COLOR - CLASS/SUBCLASS?

VytasR over 5 years ago

I want to know if the layer is visible or not after I use:

color -toggle "PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP"

How can I get it?

DavidJHutchins over 5 years ago

try using

skill axlIsVisibleLayer("PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP")

if the return value is 't' then it is visible

if the return value is 'nil' then it is not

If you are looking to just turn the layer on without checking you could use the -vis option instead of -toggle.

color -vis "PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP"

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed.

Some offtopic:

Why this works:
color -toggle "PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP" ; skill axlIsVisibleLayer("PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP")

And this gives always a "nil"
color -toggle "PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP" ; skill println("toggle PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP (t- visible / nil - invisible):") ; skill axlIsVisibleLayer("PACKAGE KEEPOUT/TOP")
