3853.0. "can't recreate entity using ICONIC interface ?" by ZPOVC::SINSPS () Fri Oct 02 1992 10:34

    Hi, is there a problem in recreating entity using ICONIC interface after
    deleting it ? My customer encountered this map window message :-
    "Entity !AD is not valid with verb !AD" on his BMS 1.2 field test
    version. However, he could successfully did it using FCL. Would this
    problem still exist in the SSB version 'cause I'm upgrading it soon.
    
    NB. He deleted the entity without deregistering it using ICONIC
    interface.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Eng Huat.

3853.1Are SHOW and REGISTER defined with display=true?TOOK::FIGWERUlla Figwer LKG2-2/T2 x226-7858Mon Oct 12 1992 21:0519
    
    Hello,
    
    The Iconic Map works on the assumption that all global entities
    support the SHOW and REGISTER directives.  Does the entity in
    question support these directives?
    
    Also, verify that the directives are defined with display=true.
    If they are defined with display=false information about the
    directives will not be loaded into the parse tables and 
    the error "Entity !AD is not valid with verb !AD"
    will occur when the Iconic Map interface tries to use
    the directives to gather information about the entity.
    
    Regards,
    
    Ulla
