dwgadd: set table by name

[michal-josef-spacek]

In doc is construct like:

line (0 0 0) (100 0 100)
line.layer = "1"

But output is:

ERROR: dwg_dynapi_entity_set_value: Invalid LINE field layer

in dwgadd -v9 --as r11 -o line.dwg foo.dwgadd

you cannot reference a layer, which does not exist yet. so the error is correct

[michal-josef-spacek]

ok, that's a good point. Thanks

But when I have:

layer "foo"
line (0 0 0) (100 0 100)
line.layer = "foo"

The layer was created and error is same

this does not work yet, as the layer must be a handle, not a name. with r11 even a number (index) only. maybe we should accept table names also

[michal-josef-spacek]

There is another use case in R_1_4, where is a table of indexed layers. When I set:

line (0 0 0) (100 0 100)
line.layer = "2"

This could be layer index = 2 automatically.

This is up to r12, and should work already
