switch between flush and mate

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to switch between flush and mate using macro?
thx

From a quick look at the API docs, it looks like you would have to use
the info from the flush constraint to add a new mate contraint and then
delete the flush constraint, as far as I can see. I bet the UI does it the same
way.

I took a quick look back at the code and it is a little to spread out to
post anything that would be helpful.

Basically in mine, I set up the transaction manager before making the
constraint, and then if the person clicks the flush button I undo the
transaction, and then re-run the constraint code which checks the state of
the buttons before making the constraint.

adding a link to an ilogic API example to this old thread, as it came up in my search for an example:
