API function add mate 1

[IvanaX]

Is it possible to add mate, without first select something with selectbyID2? Or how to make selection invisible. I don't like it, when macro is running to see what it is doing.

Yes, it is possible to add mates without selecting something with SelectByID2. You can use any selection method you want. It is not possible to add mates without selecting something by some method. It is possible to prevent graphics update during selection by setting the EnableGraphicsUpdate property of the active ModelView to False. Just don't forget to add an error handler to change back to True in the event something goes wrong.
