"Can't find window; cvf.dialog" error in Allegro 17.2

dontpanic

Hi! In Allegro 16.6 I had aliases for layer display filtering, which would call functions like the one attached at the end of this post.

I just switched to 17.2 and when I try to execute the alias I get the following error in the Skill console: "E- Can't find window; cvf.dialog"

How can I solve this error and get back my script working?

Thanks, Jorge.

# displaylayer_top.scr
# Note: mapped to keyboard as:
# alias F4     replay displaylayer_top

setwindow pcb
trapsize 45
generaledit
color192
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf layer_mode
setwindow pcb
generaledit
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf global_invisible
cvf layer_tree_item 'Stack-Up'
cvf layers_visible stack-up stack-up/top TRUE
cvf layers_visible stack-up stack-up/soldermask_top TRUE
cvf layers_visible stack-up drc/package_top TRUE
cvf layers_visible stack-up drc/top TRUE

    You will need to record the script again since 17.2 no longer uses the cvf dialog, which is why it cannot be found when you replay the script.

    OK, thanks for the info!  I'll try to re-create the scripts (I didn't record the original ones) and post the solution, for the record.
