Hi , 

I am sharing with you some simple skill script that draw line in user layer :

axlCmdRegister("DrawLine" 'DrawLine)
procedure(DrawLine()
   layer_name = "substrate geometry/userlayer"
   mypopup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil '(
      ("Done" "axlDBTransactionCommit(mark), axlFinishEnterFun()")
      ("Oops" "axlDBTransactionOops(mark), when(zerop(--oopsNum)")
      ("Cancel" "axlDBTransactionRollback(mark), axlCancelEnterFun()")
      ("MENU_SEPARATOR", nil)))
   axlUIPopupSet( mypopup)
   ; Clear the dynamic buffer
   axlClearDynamics()

   if(axlLayerGet(layer_name) != nil then
      if(axlIsVisibleLayer(layer_name) == nil then
         axlVisibleLayer(layer_name,t)
         axlVisibleUpdate(t)
      );End if
   else
      if(axlLayerGet("substrate geometry") == nil then
         layer_name = "board geometry/userlayer"
         axlLayerCreateNonConductor(layer_name)
         axlVisibleLayer(layer_name,t)
         axlVisibleUpdate(t)
      else
         axlLayerCreateNonConductor(layer_name)
         axlVisibleLayer(layer_name,t)
         axlVisibleUpdate(t)
      );End if
   );End if

   ; Clear mypath to nil, then loop gathering user picks:
   mypath = nil
   mark = axlDBTransactionStart()
   flag = t
   allP = list(nil)
   seg1 = nil
   seg2 = nil
   while( (mypath = axlEnterPath(?lastPath mypath))
      if(flag == t then
         p = axlDBCreatePath(mypath, layer_name)
         seg1 = car(car(car(p))->segments)
         seg2 = car(cdr(car(car(p))->segments))
         path = axlPathStart( list(car(seg1->startEnd)) , 0)
         axlPathLine( path , 0 , car(cdr(seg1->startEnd)))
         if(seg2 then
            axlPathLine( path , 0 , car(cdr(seg2->startEnd)))
         );end if
         flag = nil
      else
         p = axlDBCreatePath(mypath, layer_name)
         seg1 = car(car(car(p))->segments)
         seg2 = car(cdr(car(car(p))->segments))
         axlPathLine( path , 0 , car(cdr(seg1->startEnd)))
         if(seg2 then
            axlPathLine( path , 0 , car(cdr(seg2->startEnd)))
         );end if
      );end if
      allP = cons(car(car(p)) allP)
   );Loop
   axlDBCreatePath(path, layer_name)
   forall( x allP axlDeleteObject(x))
);End procedure

Is anyone can help to understand why this script can work with 16.5/16.6/17.2 and doesn't work with 17.4 ?

To be more informative in 17.4 this script behaves differently , when i am trying to draw line i can't zoom in/out ,i can't use my shortcuts to snap it on segment/middle/edge , it's like it's waiting only for next X/Y user click , all other functions just disabled .

Thanks .

Global private capital renewable energy investments are still above $250 billion for 2013. While the final numbers are not in yet, 3rd quarter global renewable energy investments, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s latest data on deals and projects, notes slightly lower global investment than in 2012 due faltering “political will to decarbonise energy mix.” They further note that the third quarter’s decline in investment will push the year’s overall investment in renewable energy and energy-smart technologies down below 2012's $281 billion. But $250+ billion ain’t shabby.

The twelve apostles included "Simon, who is called Peter" (Matt. 10:2).

God can use your natural abilities as a basis for your spiritual service.

Peter is a good illustration of how God builds a spiritual leader. He begins with a person's natural traits and works from there. Natural traits alone don't make a spiritual leader—the person must also be gifted and called by the Holy Spirit to lead in the church and be a model of spiritual virtue. But often God endows future leaders with natural abilities that constitute the raw materials from which He builds spiritual ministries. That was certainly the case with Peter, who demonstrated the leadership qualities of inquisitiveness, initiative, and involvement.

Peter was always asking questions. In fact, the gospel records show he asked more questions than all the other disciples combined! People who aren't inquisitive don't make good leaders because they're not concerned about problems and solutions.

Initiative was another indicator of Peter's leadership potential. He not only asked questions, but also was often the first to respond when Jesus asked the questions (e.g., Matt. 16:15-16; Luke 8:45).

Also, Peter loved to be in the middle of the action, even when it got him into trouble. For example, we might criticize his lack of faith when he sank after walking on water, but remember, the rest of the disciples never even got out of the boat.

Peter was inquisitive, showed initiative, and sought to be involved. How about you? Are you inquisitive about God's truth? Do you take the initiative to learn about Him? Do you want to be involved in what He is doing? If so, you have the raw material for spiritual leadership. Continue to cultivate those qualities, allowing the Spirit to use you for God's glory.

Suggestions for Prayer

• Pray for your spiritual leaders.
• Ask God for opportunities to lead others in the way of righteousness. Use every opportunity to its fullest.

Read the following verses, noting the kinds of questions Peter asked: Matthew 15:15; 18:21; 19:27; Mark 13:2-4; John 21:20-22.

An American newspaper stressed in a report: Although the US government has intensified its rhetoric and economic pressure on Iran, it seems that in fact, the main focus on Iran in its national security strategy is shifting to Russia and China. According to Fars News Agency, the administration of US President Donald Trump has intensified its rhetoric about Iran’s alleged threat this year. On the other hand, military officials and experts believe that the US military has reduced its presence in the Persian Gulf region and has withdrawn its ships, military aircraft and missiles. No US aircraft carrier has been replaced in the region since Theodore Roosevelt sailed from the Persian Gulf to...
