Values of GLOB_CONTEXT

[Anonymous]

Well, I use GLOB_CONTEXT in my objects successfully. But I only use the value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

I want to know when GLOB_CONTEXT will return 22, 23 and all the others.

I don't know what means for feed back plan or section. what means for feedback?

Thanks.

When you have a library part with moveable hotspot (diamond shape) on plan and you will move it you will get the value of 22 (feedback form plan) in GLOB_CONTEXT global variable. It is a very same thingy for 3D window. So, basically you can respond to hospots 'moving' action within your lib part script.

Thank you, Rob. And what about 43, 44 and 46?

Where have you found the possible values 43, 44 and 46 of GLOB_CONTEXT?

Where have you found the possible values 43, 44 and 46 of GLOB_CONTEXT?

they have been mentioned in the AC help under GDL Reference manual/Global Variables/General Environment Info. I am still using AC8.1 so it could get changed with AC9.0 help...

AC 9 GDL reference manual says:

1-library part editor, 2-floor plan, 3-3D view, 4-section/elevation, 5-settings dialog, 6-list, 7 - detail drawing, 22 - feedback mode from the floor plan, 23 - feedback mode from a
3Dview, 24 - feedback mode from a section/elevation, 43 - generating as an operator from a 3D view, 44 - generating as an operator from a section/elevation, 46 - generating as an
operator from a list

What does "generating as an operator" mean? That the object is an operator in a solid element op?

I am just trying to keep this topic alive.

Guys from GS, could you give us at least rough explanation of what is going on with those numbers? Why would you bother to mention that in the help then?
