Skill equivalent for "shape add" command.

mstaub

Does anyone know if there is a Skill equivalent to the "shape add" command such that when it's finished creating the shape, assuming it's successful, returns the dbid if the new shape? I'm currently trying to implement my own method of this by creating a path, adding segments created by user picks and updating the Rband dynamics, but I haven't successfully mimicked the "shape add" command.

    look at the documentation for axlDBCreateShape(), axlDBCreateOpenShape() and axlDBCreateCloseShape()

    That is correct, those functions can be used to create shapes, but they also require you to have a predefined poly or path. In Allegro the "shape add" command allows the user to define things ling, class, subclass, shape fill, net, etc then draw the shape using pick locations, which is what I am trying to mimic. I was wondering if something similar exists in Skill that mimics "shape add", then provides the dbid when complete. 

    I have a version of this working now using the following commands:

    axlEnterPoint()

    axlPathStart()

    axlAddSimpleRbandDynamics()

    axlGetDynamicsSegs()

    axlPathLine()

    axlDBCreateShape()

    but it's a little more involved then it needs to be if there is a skill equivalent to "shape add"
