FeatureScript update feature dialog dynamically

Hi all,

In the document below there is a property on definition "actualLength" which I want to use to update the read only field "Target edge length".

The idea is that a target edge is selected in the draft operation, and that as the draft angle is changed the read only field updates to show the current length of that target edge.

I have println statements which show that the edge is correctly measured after each call to opDraft but I cannot seem to update the UI?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

You have to use Editing Logic, which runs before the feature regenerates. If the edge is created by the feature then Editing Logic cannot access it. The only way you can do this is to work out the length with trig in the Editing Logic function.

Not a good idea to use a copy of the Draft feature as a starting point - there's too much "junk" in there which just confuses. Use opDraft.
