Move smashed element name from a script.

autodeskguest

I'm working on a set of ULPs/Scripts that will duplicate the layout of

components when you copy sections in a schematic. The last step in my

ULPs/Scripts is to have it match the layout of text in smashed elements.

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to move a smashed element name from a

script/ulp? The main thing I don't understand is how to address the name of

the element using the MOVE, ROTATE etc commands. The only way I have found

to select the name of the element from a script is to mimic a mouse click at

the coordinates of the name. This isn't ideal for an automated script. I

would rather be able to select it using the element name i.e. "MOVE C1 name"

or something.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

    There is no other way to select texts. You have to use its coordinates.
