skill fails for 3d

Hi all i created a script to highlight a net and then all components attached to that net however when i do a 3d command the highlights are deselected

ive broken it down to a small script that can be run in the script interpreter by typing set telskill

the commands that i have broken the problem down is

axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "nets") ?onButtons list("noall" "nets")) ;for this example im only interested in nets

net1 = car(axlUIDataBrowse('NET '( RETRIEVE_NAME) "Select NetName" t)) ;here i select what net im interested in

axlGetSelSet(axlSingleSelectName( "NET" net1 )) ;this command highlights it in pcb editor

axlShell "3d" ;this should generate a 3d representation of my highlighted net but it dehighlights the net

Can anyone shed any light where im going wrong

your script only selects the net, you need to add an additional command to actually highlight it, for example:

(axlHighlightObject car(axlGetSelSet()) nil)

However from what I can see from what little I can I have used '3d', it doesn't appear to support highlighting of existing highlighted objects

Sorry davidJHutchins but the 3rd line down on my simple script (this is taken from a larger script but shortened here to show what is broken in as short a script as possible) the line saying axlGetSelSet(axlSingleSelectName( "NET" net1 )) highlights the net.

I also tried it your way and it still doesnt work

The full script is running in a gui and what it does is select the net and all the components hanging from that net and then does a 3d representation
