Hi Guys!

I am a newcomer here. Can someone tell me that can i use the object edit toolbar to adjust locations of figures in different layers?

I tried by failed. It seems that only the objects in the same layer can be adjusted. R or W?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

R. (Object Edit works on one layer at a time.)

But you can duplicate most of Object Edit's functions with LabTalk scripts that can operate on multiple layers. For example, if you have two text labels, label1 in layer 1 and label2 in layer 2 you can space them vertically like this...

lay -s 1; // activate layer 1
yy=label1.top;
lay -s 2; // activate layer 2
label2.top=yy+200;

You can find out how to get/set object properties in the Programming Guide...
LabTalk Language Reference->Object Reference->Internal Object Overview->User-created Visual Objects

Most of that can also be done in Origin C.
