I found a workaround for the specific case. I was trying to define an array based on the wall skins data, while in the script there was currently 0 skins, which the DIM didn’t like. Turned out I didn’t need the array anyway. So I’ll file this one for now, thank you for the info.

James MurrayParticipantThank you!
James M
James MurrayParticipantThat works on the site, thanks. My first search is still in the GDL Manual.
James M
James MurrayParticipantThanks, Peter, I’ll look at it. Have a good weekend.
James M
James MurrayParticipantThank you very much, glad I asked. The only way (besides this forum) I have to see if something is possible in GDL is to search the manual for the name of the feature. Unfortunately I couldn’t find this request because the term “oriented view” isn’t in the description. It would be good when updating documentation to make sure that there is a clear connection between the user-facing feature and the GDL documentation. Thanks again. The responsiveness of the library team here has been great.

James MurrayParticipantIt seems that WALLLINE2 does not respond to DRAWINDEX. I had my heavy cut lines drawn in front, and when I changed LINE2 to WALLLINE2, they fell back. Is there anything to do about this?
James M
James MurrayParticipantPerfect, thank you!
James M
James MurrayParticipantThat’s a good solution that I considered as well, but the trouble is that it sort of doesn’t scale because I have dozens of shapes implemented in numerous objects. That’s why I keep as much data as possible in the shape macros themselves. Then it is just a matter of creating a new shape and adding to the appropriate vales lists.
I went ahead with the parsing solution with a long and short option, working fine. Thanks again for your help.
James M
James MurrayParticipantYes, string parameter from a values list. The macro is called by variable, which is discouraged in 19+ but I don’t see a way around it.
I will try the parsing approach. Thanks for the quick reply!
