I think I already know the answer to this, but hopefully I'm wrong:
Is it possible for a DCAL macro to see entities that are on a locked layer ?
I would have expected to be able to read them but not to update or add anything on a locked layer, but getmode does not appear to return anything from a locked layer, and also trying to read a selset (that had been set up before the layer was locked) does not return the entities. Is there any way to get them ?
I did a search for the word 'lock' in all the dcal documentation, but all I found was a couple new procedures relating to symbol lock size, so I am assuming that DCAL has no functionality relating to layer locking (other than being able to display function keys with struck through text)
