rs.GetLayer and rs.ObjectLayer() not working with multiple sublayers

[geef]

Hi,

I have some issues with the rs.GetLayer and rs.ObjectLayer() command.
If the Layer Structure in Rhino has multiple sublayers with the same name the rs.Getlayer and rs.ObjectLayer() don't work.

See files attached.
If you select the sublayer "out" in "main2" rhino still draws the point on "out" in "main1"

Python Code:

layer_out = rs.GetLayer("Select Layer to draw geometry", None, True, True)
 
pt = rs.AddPoint(0,0,0)
 
rs.ObjectLayer(pt, layer_out)

Any suggestions?

THX

I've also had some problems with this. Some of the rs functions accept layer full names, others don't, and results are unpredictable.

I see this bug and am looking into fixing it. I would rather the python functions just work with full layer paths whenever possible so we don't get ambiguous results like this.
Thanks for pointing it out,

I just pushed a fix for this up to github. I think there will need to be a bit more work for me to do here, but we should eventually have these functions work only with layer full paths. Here are the scripts if you want to update before the next V5 beta

This is good. The sooner this is cleaned up the better.
Thanks again,
