Script affecting objects selected on Sheet Layers when in design layer


Recommended Posts

I need some help.  Apparently this script is editing objects that are selected on sheet layers even though the sheet layer is not active.  Does anyone know how to limit the selection to just the viewable and editable layers.  I thought about using ForEachObjectInLayer but it does not work for symbols and PIO in walls. 

 

"""
This script assigns selected objects to class "1_Exist-(original class)" and set Construction Phase to 'EXISTING TO REMAIN'.

If a in wall object is selected without selecting the wall the script will only change those in wall objects.
If a wall is selected it will change the wall and all objects inserted in that wall.
If New class does not exist objects original class is duplicated to retain class attributes.

To take full advantage of this script use "Data Visualization" to display the "Construction Phase"
  record objects as desired.
     1. Set "Data Visualization" to modify drawings per "Construction Phase" record
     2. To make a "Construction Phase" invisible set the attributes of that phase to:
           Line settings to Fill "Solid White" and Line weight "0"

Vectorworks bug does not show changes to symbols inserted in wall until either:
   Drawing is saved and reopened.
   Setting in Data Visualization dialog is changed.
   Symbol is removed from wall, can then be reinserted

I am a Pascal (Vectorscript) guy, so I am not going to try and edit your code, but I would probably just add a test for the layer type into both the pio_processing and object_processing subroutine.

 

Something like.

 

If GetObjectVariableInt(GetLayer(Handle to object), 154)=1 Then

 

Where GetLayer returns a handle to the layer the object is on and GetObjectVariableInt(154) return the type of layer with 1 being a design layer and 2 being a sheet (presentation layer in the documentation) layer.

 

HTH.

Great Idea.  Now I can isolate it and now I can get it to run in sheet layers or veiwport annotations if they are the active layer.
