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

     

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

    set Option.RepositionMouseCursorAfterContextMenu  1;

     

     

     

     

    polygonmove.ulp contains

     

    exit("move (>c@)");

     

     

    Right click on the polygon wire

    Select from the context menu 'Move polygon'

    Polygon is now stuck to mouse

    Well, for some reason this doesnt work with my installation (7.5.3)..

    Nothing gets moved. I need to do this:

     

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

    {

         setgroup(P);

         exit("move (>c@)");

    }

    ... and the polygon except the selected wire follows the mouse. Its like

    if the setgroup toggles the group flag of the polygon.

     

    I get the same result on 7.5.0.
