Layer Toolbar

 

It was a known issue. It should have been solved with a recent fix.
Which PDMS version are you using?

Sorry....I was wrong.....It works OK in PDMS 12.1.SP2
In 12.0.SP6 you have to keep the Layer Toolbar active.

PDMS12.0.SP6.38

Which SP has the fix?

Thanks corrado,

We have just got all our systems in line. We will not be upgrading to 12.1 for a while yet. Its likely to cause some confusion...

Do you know what the problem is?

in PMLLIB/draft/forms/appdramain.pmlfrm line 128

   option .notesViews  tooltip 'Current Note or View ' call |!this.layerControl.selectNoteView()|                          width 6

has been added from 11.6 and a new object.

PMLLIB/draft/objects/APPDRALAYERCTRL.pmlobj

It looks like it is setting a global variable.

!!cdrGenApp line 880 to 937

?

Its ok Corrado. I fixed it for us.

  In our User interface we use a.

  track 'PADDCE' call '!this.load()'

so I added.

member .layerControl    is APPDRALAYERCTRL

to our form definition and then

  !x = !!ce
  !this.layerControl.selectElement($!x)

in the .load method.

we can then run without the 'layers' tool bar active.

Works here anyway....

You need the following in the .load method. The object crashes if you don't select a VIEW NOTE LAYE VNOT VSEC in the current sheet or you select any item from a shee which is not active.

  !valid = 'VIEW LAYE NOTE SLAB GLAB LDIM DPOI DPPT DPBA RDIM APPT ADIR PDIM TEXP OUTL VRTX STRA RECT SYMB VNOTE'
  !check = !valid.match(!type).eq(0)
  if(!check) then
  else
     !sheetName = !!appDraMain.sheet.selection('RTEXT')
     !owner          = shee
     !ownern        = !owner.fullname

     -- Check to see if selected items exist in currently selected/loaded sheet.
     if(!sheetname eq !ownern) then
        !x = !!ce
        !this.layerControl.selectElement($!x)
     else
     endif
