Changing pen thickness to object of a specific colour


Tere

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I need to write a script that finds all objects with a specific RGB fill, and for these objects sets a specific pen thickness (like an outline).

 

Below is my first attempt and attached what it says the errors are. Thanks a lot for helping!

 

PROCEDURE LWUpdate;


FUNCTION ChangeThickness(h :HANDLE) :BOOLEAN;

    CONST { substitute these with the required values }
    ToLW = 0.35; {mm}
    
    VAR
    r, g, b :LONGINT;
    VToLW:REAL;

    BEGIN

        GetFillBack(h,r,g,b);

        IF (r = 34952) & (g = 34952) & (b = 34952) THEN

            SETLW(h, VToLW);
                    
        GetFillFore(h,r,g,b);

        IF (r = 34952) & (g = 34952) & (b = 34952) THEN

            SETLW(h, VToLW);

        
    END;


BEGIN

    { Each object option here is set to affect all objects, on all layers, using a deep traversal}
    VToLW := ToLW / 25.4 * 1000;
    ForEachObjectInLayer(ChangeThickness,0,2,1);

END;


Run(LWUpdate);

Your errors are because of the scope of the declaration of the constant ToLW and the variable VToLW.

They are declared within the function ChangeThickness and are therefore not visible in the main procedure of LWUpdate. Try the following which moves those outside the ChangeThickness function.

ROCEDURE LWUpdate;

CONST { substitute these with the required values }
    ToLW = 0.35; {mm}

VAR 
	VToLW:REAL;

FUNCTION ChangeThickness(h :HANDLE) :BOOLEAN;
   
    
    VAR
    r, g, b :LONGINT;
    
    BEGIN
        GetFillBack(h,r,g,b);
        IF (r = 34952) & (g = 34952) & (b = 34952) THEN
            SETLW(h, VToLW);
                    
        GetFillFore(h,r,g,b);
        IF (r = 34952) & (g = 34952) & (b = 34952) THEN
            SETLW(h, VToLW);
        
    END;

BEGIN
    { Each object option here is set to affect all objects, on all layers, using a deep traversal}
    VToLW := ToLW / 25.4 * 1000;
    ForEachObjectInLayer(ChangeThickness,0,2,1);
END;

Run(LWUpdate);
