Bug, Breaking a polygon (7.5.3)

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 10 years ago

With this code I am able to break a polygon.

 

Im using SET CONTEXT to make a "move polygon" function.

First, I attach the function to the wire object like this:

 

| SET CONTEXT wire 'Move polygon' 'run polygonmove.ulp';

 

At the ulp, I check if a polygon wire is grouped with this code:

 

|board(B) B.signals(S) S.polygons(P) if(ingroup(P))

|{

 

This works. But the polygon parent of the grouped wire is not completely

grouped, hence I have to help out a bit with this:

| setgroup(P); //(**)

 

This doesnt seem to set all the wires in the group, cause when I do:

 

| sprintf(tmpstr,"move (>@)");

| exit(tmpstr);

|}

 

The polygon breaks up. The selected wire doesnt follow the move, only

the other wires.

 

I tried different clrgroup before the setgroup first, like

| P.wires(W) clrgroup(W);

or

| clrgroup(P)

or even

| clrgroup(B)

 

But they don't seem to help.

 

(**) If I play around with setgroup(P,1), the polygon REALLY gets messed

up, but the originally selected wire of the polygon is still ungrouped.

 

 

I assume this is a bug, but are there any workarounds?

    Hi Morten,

     

    we just did some investigation. There is indeed an odd problem with

    the group selection of a polygon and ULPs.

    We will check....

     

     

     

    This problem seems to be present on any wire.

    I made this context function to switch layer to all the wires connected

    together, and the chosen one is excluded the same way.

     

     

    It's even present on all objects selected by the context menu.  image

    We plan to change this behavior, but will be slightly incompatible.

    On the other hand the current beavior isn't useful anyway.

    There will be necessary even a further change to prevent breaking a

    polygon if only one wire is selected.
