leHiEditInPlace

leHiEditInPlace( 
[ w_windowId ] 
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Lets you edit an instance’s master while viewing it in the context of the instance placement. If you do not specify w_windowId, the layout editor uses the current window. You can preselect the instance to be edited in place. If no instance is selected, you are prompted to point at a shape contained in the instance to be edited in place. If you point at several shapes at different levels of the hierarchy, the shape in the higher-level instance is the one that is used.

You can change the window to any level in the hierarchy. For example, if you are already using leHiEditInPlace to edit a cellview two levels deep in your hierarchy, you can use leHiEditInPlace again to move up or down the hierarchy.

Arguments

Window ID of the window specified.

Value Returned
