Holes on/off

Am I the only person that finds that doing holes on/off is tiresome.

Settings>Graphics>Representation (3 clicks)
Holes Drawn (1  click)
Update All graphics (1 click)
OK (1 click)

6 clicks and then another 6 to turn them off again!

This should be toggle on main bar like autoclasher!

Add the following to 2 buttons on a toolbar and you can do it in one click.

button.button1|Holes On|CALL|repre hole on
repre update|

button.button2|Holes Off|CALL|repre hole off
repre update|

Ths commands for each button need to be on separate lines for it to work.

I too have added this function to our products but
why isn't it in standard product?

On this forum I read that on the command line you type repre hole on/off depends on what you want and with repre update it will refresh the for updated view.

I have a file called des-rep.pmldat  in my PDMSUSER directory, containing only the following data:

-- Data file for graphical representation options
!!tmpGphRepOpt.holes = TRUE

That way I do not need to go in and toggle those settings every time I enter PDMS.

What about a toggle whose open callback function will execute all this ?

No one can suit to all needs.
But at least Aveva give a user room to do what they need.

I have a form created that has a toggle to control the on/off representation which is working, however if my current hole representation state is "ON" when I display my form it still shows as "OFF". If I toggle it twice on the form everything is fine although I would like for my form to show the "ON/OFF" state correctly when I show my form. Is this possible?

you can try to check the representation state (using command Q REPRE HOLES) first and update the form in your initialization before showing it.

I thought about that but couldn't figure out how to store the return of the query in a variable in order to use in my initialization method. I'm sure I'm overlooking something pretty simple but how would I do that? Thanks for your help.
