Hi all,

I create labels from a Drawing by vbScript. Later I decompose the Drawing. As a consequence, there are Labels for every branch then. So I have to unlink the label component before decomposing the Drawing but I couldn't find something about to do it by scripting. Does anyone has an idea how to do it?

Thanks in advance for your help and greetings from Martin

There is no way to unlink a labels component via a script, but you can create a copy of a linked component:

'VBScript

Sub Main

  Set src = Document.ComponentSet("Labels")

  Set tgt = Document.NewLabels("Unlinked", src.CoordinateSystem)

  For Each lbl In src.LabelSet

    tgt.LabelSet.Add lbl.Text, lbl.Geom

  Next

End Sub

UI scripting won't do this? ... and tsk for working on the fourth :)

Need industrial grade Manifold hosting? Scaling, Load Balancing, Special Tuning, etc. Drop me a line.

Works. Needs to be run in a separate thread, otherwise still succeeds but leads to a series of "unknown error" messages.

Sub Main

    Document.ComponentSet("Labels").Open

    Application.UserInterface.InvokeCommand "LabelsUnlink"

    Application.ActiveWindow.Close

End Sub

Hi,

thank you very much for your help! The "UI scripting thing" works very fine. There are a lot of more things I can do in the same way now. Great!
