Set guideLayer property for shapeLayer not working for me
Hi, I’ve seen a number of pages on setting guideLayer e.g.Dan Ebberts on this forum.
All the examples show people making new solids and setting guideLayer no problem.
When I try doing the same on a shapeLayer nothing happens.
c=this.app.project.activeItem.layers.addShape();
c.guideLayer=true;Is this just another one of those things that doesn’t work on shapeLayers in CS4 (like motion paths) ?

It’s got to be me. DUIK manages to to set shapeLayers as guides.

Wrong again… DUIK sets guideLayers on nulls and solids but not shapeLayers.

I just tried it in CS4 and it works for me. Of course the shape layer doesn’t have any contents, but it’s there (and marked as a guide layer).

hi, you are quite write however there I have tested this somewhat more and I am none the wiser…
The code that sets guideLayer is in a library.
The guideLayer is set fine if I call the fn from within the file that defines the fn.
The guideLayer is not set if I call the fn from another file that #includes the library.If I copy the fn to the invoking script it works.
If I copy the invocation to the defining script it works.It makes absolutely no sense.

DO! I think I got it now.

Doh. Stupid error. I was editing my latest code but including my last known good. Thanks.
