  1. I've always wondered why SelectObj isn't: SelectObj (c:Criteria):FSHandle; ( 1st selected handle ) and SelectObjs (c:Criteria); How much easier life would be. However ForEachObject (DoThis, ('Dimming Data'.'Dimmer Name'=LDCIRCUIT)); may help!! Regards
  2. Hi, Sysbeep offers only the current system prompt sound. I know I can change the system prompt sound but I would like a variety of sounds that mean different things to me. How can my macros to choose and play a .wav or .mpg or etc. from VW? Regards Trevor
  3. Thanks Raymond, I was looking for something like SetLayerColorToggle but that's too sensible. Regards
  4. Hi, What is the VectorScript proceedure to toggle the "Document Preferences/Display/Use layer colors" on and off?
  5. I only have Fundamentals that does not allow printing to pdf but that's not a problem because I have been using pdf995 as a pdf printer long before VW decided to incorporate it. Printing to pdf995 does not have the same problems as you are having so it could be an option for you. Regards
  6. I can't get any more than 63. Could try Chr and Ord somewhere in you code to convert some numbers between 34 & 128 into ascii and reduce the length of your name. Regards
  7. I have VW 2010 SP4 Fundamentals and it works for me. Regards
  8. Thanks Pat, I could see the other resets would do more than I wanted. Regards
  9. I was testing "Ungroup" in a macro which kept asking if I wanted the group data applied to each object ungrouped. I ticked "Do this every time" and picked "No". Some time in the future if I want to change my mind how do I toggle this feature on/off? Regards
  10. Hi, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my plotter by redirecting my plotter port from com1: to "File" to see what is happening. All I get is an Adobe file which starts %!PS-Adobe-3.1 The same drawing plotted with AutoCAD saves a file with DMPL commands as I would have expected. Why does Vectorworks produce this output and how does the plotter driver interpret it as compared to DMPL commands?
  11. Great maaten, I love minimising code. Thanks Assembly, I have but using the CallTool works for me this time. Regards
  12. Been working on it for a while and came up with: GetPt3D ( pX, pY, pZ, False); GetView (xAngleR, yAngelR, zAngleR, offsetX, offsetY, offsetZ); SetView (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); Draw_3D; { My new symbol } Symbol (SymName, 0, 0, 0); { Get my new symbol } Move3D (pX, pY, pZ); SetView (xAngleR, yAngelR, zAngleR, offsetX, offsetY, offsetZ); I hope vw2011 has a Symbol3D (SymName, pX, pY, pZ); Regards
  13. Hi, I wish to create a 3D symbol and place it at a selected location on my drawing. I begin in Left Isometric view and I have picked a point (GetPt3D). I then create a symbol (BeginSym ... EndSym). After the symbol is created I retreive it with Symbol (SymName, 0, 0, 0); and then Move3D (pX, pY, xZ); Move3D puts it in the right place but the Symbol procedure only works in 2D. What should I be doing to get this to work?
  14. I found it. I should be using SetField. Regards
  15. Hi, I written a BeginDialog with some AddField text boxes and some AddButtons. If I click button one I want the text cell to show 1 and if I click button two I want the text cell to show 2. Is this the correct way of doing this: if (ItemSel (1) = True) then SetItemText (1, 8, '1'); else SetItemText (1, 8, '2'); because it doesn't work. Do I need a refresh or something? Note: this is still VW2010
  16. I've been asking for the same for a while now. Just like Excel will run Private Sub Workbook_Open() I would like to do a bit of setup as the stationary sheet is opened.
  17. Please tell us why do you need to know the pair lengths? If your searching for a line style then maybe the following will help: GetDashStyle or GetDashStyleIndex
  18. This thread is quite extensive, if anyone can follow it, as to why it can't be done as I found out. http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=27613&Number=134495#Post134495 Regards
  19. I didn't say that PC's don't crash islandmon, just that Macs are not stable. However you are correct about the file. I have had files that incur errors and will not behave themselves. Cutting and pasting the drawing to another drawing usually solves the problem.
  20. Thanks Ray, I will check with my Acer laptop techs then.
  21. When you use the Windows key you are using a Windows operation which is independent of VW.
  22. Not to create a huge argument about Mac v PC but I've never know a stable Mac.
