How to add a user-defined subclass

Yes. Try axlLayerCreateNonConductor("BOARD GEOMETRY/MY_SUBCLASS")

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the feedback. I'll give it a try and let you know if it works.

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly but it's giving me an error code:

"*Error* axlLayerCreateNonConductor: argument #1 should be a string (type template = "t") - nil"

Here's the skill I'm using:

===============

procedure(runMexx()

l_vis=axlVisibleGet()

brd_layer = axlSubclasses("BOARD GEOMETRY" ?field 'userDefined)
if((brd_layer != nil)
foreach(subclass brd_layer
axlClearSelSet()
temp_Layer = sprintf(nil "BOARD GEOMETRY/%s" subclass)
axlVisibleDesign(nil)
axlVisibleLayer(temp_Layer t)
axlVisibleUpdate(t)
axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '(noall lines shapes figures text) ?onButtons '(noall lines shapes figures text))
axlAddSelectAll()
lyr_data = axlGetSelSet()
axlClearSelSet()
axlLayerCreateNonConductor(lyr_data)
my_subclass = axlLayerGet(temp_Layer)
axlLayerCreateNonConductor(my_subclass)
); foreach
) ;if

axlVisibleSet(l_vis)
axlVisibleUpdate(t)

); end procedure

=============

Ty.

I think there are a couple of errors in your code, 1st issue is the following:

lyr_data = axlGetSelSet()
axlClearSelSet()
axlLayerCreateNonConductor(lyr_data)

You are getting the error since lyr_data is an empty list & the function wants a string value

The 2nd issue is in the following code:

my_subclass = axlLayerGet(temp_Layer)
axlLayerCreateNonConductor(my_subclass)

This will not work since my_subclass is just the subclass name & the function wants a string value containing the class & subclass values, below is from the doc:

NEEDS
t_layerName - <class>/<subclass>

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the feedback. This is an existing code, I thought I could use it. I guess not.
