This was quite a revelation for me: DBPoints apparently get created on DEFPOINTS by default and simply changing them to layer 0 (say) would cause them to respect PDMODE when displayed transiently? I had to try that out.
The updates to the point-gathering code were really minor – just about changing the signatures of the functions we want to use to be static and/or public – so we can simply call them from the other source file without much effort. Because the changes were minor, I’ve placed the code here for you to download.
The other source file has changed slightly more, but not very much: we now call into the other file to gather points on each object and pass them through to the modified CreateTransGraphics() function. This function now creates a DBPoint for each point, making sure it is on layer 0 before adding it to our list of transient objects to display.

Here’s what happens when we execute the code and move a sphere, with PDMODE set to 0 (you should just be able to make out the points displayed as dots):
And here’s what happens with PDMODE set to 2 (which looks a bit like something out of an old-school Star Wars video game):
I’m now at the airport, heading for Bangalore via Heathrow. I’ll be working from our office there for the coming week, spending time with our team there. Aside from catching up with everyone, I’m looking forward to watching India vs. Pakistan during the 2011 Cricket World Cup semi-final on Wednesday: I’m not really a cricket fan, but watching a match like this in India is a real experience (even if you’re only watching it on TV, as I’ll be doing).
