Zone or Room Label - object

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 23:44:09 GMT

I am a limited beginner at GDL but I am trying to make a part that would do the same thing as the LG Zone stamp for AC19 and wanted to know if it was even possible to do that with the ongoing GDL changes?

I was trying to use this code:
REQUEST ("Zone_relations", "", category, code, name, number)

but the GDL changes guide states the following:

Requests deprecated in the parameter script
-In v19, they will result in a warning if used in the parameter script.
-In v20, if these are still used in the parameter script, their result will always be 0 (or an empty string).

As far as I can see by looking at the list this 'zone_relations' request is not affected.

So I am testing/creating this object and the only script I have so far is the following:

z_name=""

rrr= REQUEST ("Zone_relations", "", z_category_name, z_code, z_name, z_number)

TEXT2 0,0, z_name

I was able to get the Zone name to display on the view of my model but when I place the view on the layout my object disappears when updating.

What should I be doing to make it display the same way on the layout?

Thanks in advance

Check that the view you placed as a drawing on your layout has the same layer combination, Model View Option and Renovation Filters as your floor plan.
The easiest way is to select the drawing in the layout, right mouse click and choose 'Open Source View'.
It should open with exactly the same settings as the what you see in the layout - i.e. the zone names should be missing.
That means you need to make changes to the layer combination, MVO or Reno filter and update the view settings.

Yes, the MVO, renovation status, dimensions, layers and pens are all the same.

The object shows up partially on the first update and when I update the view one more time they disapear.
