Hey guys,
I'm writing a plugin for our firm that makes heavy use of
ACAPI_Interface(APIIo_HighlightElementsID);
to highlight elements not drawn to our standard in real-time (i.e. walls drawn with a slight angle).
This has worked great, but I'd love to be able to also highlight dimensions that are static or have custom text input so its easier to find issues.
I can get the information from the dimension element and memo to find the note's type/content/etc, but it appears that the note isn't an an element, but a neig of the whole element. Unfortunately it looks like the highlight elements function above only works with actual elements, and ignores any included neigs that arent line's (the dimension line is highlighted, but not the text itself).
It also seems like the individual sections of a dimension are also neigs, so I'm only able to highlight an entire dimension element.
I've searched through the documentation and examples as best I can but It seems there aren't any other functions to draw arbitrary colors/highlights/anything that is purely visual feedback.
Am I missing anything else? I would love more functions to draw visual feedback that doesn't altar the actual project as dealing with reserving/releasing from a plugin has been an issue in the past.
