Does anyone know if there is a way to add "OK_UNASSIGNED_SHAPE" using skill?

JS532

I'm using SKILL to generate some shapes using axlDBCreateRectangle(), converting it to dynamic using axlShapeChangeDynamicType(). I then want to add the "OK_UNASSIGNED_SHAPE" property to the shape. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

An example of the code:

shape = list(-1000.0:-1000.0 1000.0:1000.0)

sh1 = axlDBCreatRectangle(shape t "CONDUCTOR/TOP")

sh1 = axlShapeChangeDynamicType(car(sh1) t t)

when I look at properties now for using sh1->?? i can see there is a prop parameter but I'm not able to change it at all. It always reports nil. When I try to read the property of an existing shape that I know has the "OK_UNASSIGNED_SHAPE" property already defined on it I also only see nil for this property. 

I understand there may be a way using axlDBAddProp() function but this doesn't seem to do anything either. I'm at a loss.

Any help is appreciated.

    Hi

    shape = list(-1.0:-1.0 1.0:1.0)
    sh1 = axlDBCreateRectangle(shape t "ETCH/TOP")
    res = axlDBAddProp(car(sh1) list("OK_UNASSIGNED_SHAPE" t))

    Hi Ejlersen,

    Thanks very much for sending me this.

    When I execute these steps in a skill window they appear to work. When I attempt to execute within a skill script however I get the following *Error* car:Can't take car of atom - "OK_UNASSIGNED_SHAPE"

    Here's the exact code I'm trying to accomplish:

    dShape = list( -1000.0:-1000.0 1000.0:1000.0 )
    sh1 = axlDBCreateRectangle(dShape t lyr)
    res = axlDBAddProp(car(sh1) list("OK_UNASSIGNED_SHAPE" t))
    sh1 = axlShapeChangeDynamicType(car(sh1) t t )
    sh1 = car(axlShapeChangeDynamicType(sh1 nil t ))

    When running each line from the skill editor everything works correctly. It's only when I attempt to run inside a skill script that it has this error
