Sheet Layer Stacking Order

[andyCH]

Hi,

I'm kind of stuck on the search weather it is possible to read the Stacking Number/Order (#) from the Sheet Layer Panel.

I couldn't find any information on this (http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:Function_Reference_Appendix#layer). See the screenshot if it's not clear, what I mean.

I need to get this info to use it together with

layNum := GetLName(layHand);
layTit := GetObjectVariableString(layHand,159);

for a labeling script.

I'm aware of HMoveBackward() but have no clue if there is a way to use this for my purpose as I don't want to change the stacking state.

Any comments are welcome!

Cheers

Running the following will always produce the list in order from bottom to top. SetName will rename the handle and may be what your looking for.

procedure L;

var

h : handle;

i, LC : integer;

begin

h := FLayer;

LC := NumLayers;

for i := 1 to LC do

begin

message (LC, ' ',i, ' ', GetLName (h)); wait (2);

h := NextLayer (h);

end;

end;

run (L);
