  • <main-parameter> (intValue) -
  • error-mark(modifier) -
  • set-value (intValue) -
  • make-visible(modifier) -

Returns ​

none

Details ​

The instance id of the object is passed in intVal. If no modelid is passed, the current active model will be taken.

Activity "aktiv5" is outlined, "aktiv6" is not.

DYE

When calling DYE with the argument error-mark passed, the user can afterwards remove the outline by selecting the object. The outline can also be removed by calling UNDYE and passing the argument error-mark.

When error-mark is not passed for DYE, the user can not remove the outline himself. For each object an internal counter is held. The outline is displayed, when the value of the counter is greater than 0. Each call of DYE increases the counter and each call of UNDYE or UNDYE_ALL decreases it. The internal counter of an object can be directly set with DYE and the argument set-value.

When the argument make-visible is passed for a call to DYE, the specified object is made visible in the modeling window: if necessary the window scrolls so that the object is visible for the user.
