Layer sorting journal or macro?
Layer sorting journal or macro?
(OP)
For simple moving of features on proper layers is it better to use self made macro or to use journal (and that it is convenient to be shared with colleagues latter)? As I do not know how to make proper journal for this task, where can I ask somebody to help me with that, if journal is correct answer?





RE: Layer sorting journal or macro?
I might be nitpicking but are you wanting to move FEATURES or any GEOMETRY? Two different things, in my opinion, but probably worth noting prior to devoting time to any journal authoring.

Anyway, I'd use a journal for this task, but then I'm a bit biased...
If you search this site for "layer journal" or something along those lines, I'm sure you will get several hits. It might be a good starting point for your own code.

RE: Layer sorting journal or macro?
I made macro for it and journal for it, and I see journal works little more like what I want. I had to make part with all possible geometry in it and to move them with selection filtering to correct layers. I just hope that nobody will make some peace of geometry that I forgot and then complain about my journal :) But if that happened, can I make new journal just for that geometry and copy paste code to existing journal (I think it is ok, if I do not copy everything but just part of code that make selection and move it...)?
RE: Layer sorting journal or macro?
Your program should have a "branch" where it does something useful with types of objects that don't get special handling elsewhere. That way, your code will still work even if it encounters object types that you didn't think about.
