layer-layer

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I can't find a way to copy an object from one layer to another.

We can set the class of an object, but not his layer.

We can set the active layer, but cannot copy-paste an object.

Am I missing something or can't you bring objects from one layer to another?

Can this be done in C++ with the VW SDK? If yes, how do you run the SDK and how do you use it?

In 12.5 and later you can use the FUNCTION CreateDuplicateObject(objectToDuplicate, containerHandle :HANDLE) :HANDLE; to copy an object to a new layer.

In earlier versions use:

FUNCTION HDuplicate(objectHandle :HANDLE; x :REAL; y :REAL) :HANDLE;

Then you can change the layer of an object by VS using the SetParent call.

k, thx

Thanks Mr. Linzey - very helpful. I was always using DoMenuTextByName, with Copy and Paste (with an active layer change in between). This is much simpler.
