voids, dynamic shapes, and 15.x

archive

Greetings all,

Pre-15.0, shape objects had an attribute of ->voids which contained a list of all the voids in the shape. A void consisted of a series of line/arc segments much like the parent shape.

Now in >15.0 I have a dynamic shape which contains several voids but the ->voids attribute shows nil  .
How can I access these voids using SKILL in 15.x ?

TIA,

  • Thx for your fast response and I apologize for my tardy reply.

    I've picked this issue up again, and both where ->shapeAuto == nil nor the shape where ->shapeAuto == (dbid:xxx) have ->voids == nil. This makes sense in that a 'show element' on the shape reports no voids even tho voids can clearly be seen in the shape. Now after I =manually= place a void in the shape a 'show element' on the shape does indeed report one void. From this I deduce 'show element' only reports manually-placed voids, and looking at the shape object does show one element in shape_db->voids and this element is a polygon.

    But I'm having no luck finding the dynamically-created voids. Grrrr.
