Follow these steps and pay attention to step 5. where you must SUBSTITUTE the line name you want to toggle to...
1. create a new Action button
2. in the code box below click on SELECTALL
3. Edit the Action button to create an Ebedded George Script
4. In the "Type Script's Command" box, paste the script

5. IMPORTANT: locate and Edit the following line in the SCRIPT:
LineLayer = "name of line layer you want to toggle to"

6. Select OK to close the "Type Script's Command" box
7. Select OK to save the Action button
8. Test the button: it should toggle between your line layer and whatever other, current layer you are working on

Code: Select all

// ToggleLineLayer.grg
// Svengali © 2020
// ( april ) 2020 - ver .0
//     toggles between any current layer and linelayer

Param none
ScriptName = "ToggleLineLayer"

LineLayer = "name of line layer you want to toggle to"			// put the name of the line layer here INSIDE QUOTATION MARKS

tv_LayerCurrentID
OrigLayerID = result
tv_LayerInfo OrigLayerID
parse result d d d LayerName d
IF CMP(LayerName,LineLayer) == 0
	tv_WriteUserString "ToggleLineLayer" "OrigLayerID" OrigLayerID
	FindLineLayer()
ELSE
	tv_ReadUserString "ToggleLineLayer" "OrigLayerID" 
	OrigLayerID = result
	tv_LayerSet OrigLayerID
END


FUNCTION FindLineLayer()
	
	Counter = 0
	LineLayerID = 0
	LayerFlag = 1
	While LayerFlag == 1
		tv_LayerGetID Counter
		LineLayerID = result
		tv_LayerInfo LineLayerID
		parse result d d d LayerName d
		IF CMP(LayerName,LineLayer)
			tv_LayerSet LineLayerID
			LayerFlag = 0
		END
		IF CMP(LineLayerID,"none")
			tv_warn LineLayer "not found... aborting"
			LayerFlag = 0
		END
		Counter = Counter + 1
	END
END
