Enhancement of EDIT/TRANSFOR panel for COPY

Enhancement has been done to manage layers of AEC objects and sub-objects (GRR,ACTR,ASEG etc.).

 

The EDIT/TRANSFOR panel has a new option “Layer”.

 

This new layer option has two switches : ‘Keep same’ and ‘Set to active’.

 

If the switch ‘Keep same’ is selected by the user, then overall functionality will remain as before with no change in layer management of elements.

 

If the switch ‘Set to active’ is selected by the user, then the copy of all objects including both geometric elements and AEC elements is done to the current active layer.

 

This new enhancement is available on declaration of following variable in the USRENV.dcls:

CATAEC . NO_LAYER : LOGICAL ;

CATAEC . NO_LAYER = FALSE ;

 

If the user does not wish this enhancement to be seen then it needs to be set to ‘TRUE’.


New submenu ‘Layer…’ under E
DIT

The purpose of this new submenu Layer is management of layer for geometric elements and AEC elements. 

 

The panel titled ‘Layer Management’ has two switches for label ‘Mode’.

 

These two switches are ‘Single Geometry’ and ‘AEC Object’.

 

If the switch ‘Single Geometry’ is selected by the user, then user can select a single geometric element. He can otherwise use *MSEL to select multiple geometric elements.

 

If the switch ‘AEC object’ is selected by the user, all AEC objects are selected.

 

Further, the user is given a choice to use the current active layer or to key in new layer, to transfer selected geometric/AEC elements.

 

The selected geometric/AEC elements are transferred to the new chosen layer on validation with OK button.
