I solved this problem a long time ago by creating my own plant lists based on the web catalogs of nurseries I know. The principle is to scrap their catalogs to collect the data and then classify them in excell according to VW's catalog structure. it takes a little time at first but saves a lot later on.

Hello, Are LAs defined by styles? An idea : Edit the LA style and definie the shoulder by style. Click OK. then edit again and set it to instance. OR : Disable complety old Tag and apply Data tags?

Hello, For landscapers who create a lot of plants, I've just shared a marionette tool I created to simplify my work. Enjoy!

Hello, I've been using this script for a long time, and I've integrated it into the menu via the Plugin Manager because it's so practical and frequently used. PROCEDURE ShowAllSymbols; {?1999 Graphsoft, Inc.} {The traverseSymbolList procedure was developed by Craig Hollinshead.} VAR numFolders, numNestedFolders, numSymbols : INTEGER; messageString : STRING; OK : BOOLEAN; NewPtSize : INTEGER; OldPtSize : INTEGER; SelectedObj : HANDLE; TheSymbolName : STRING; SymFolderName : STRING; TheSymDef : HANDLE; SymDef2 : HANDLE; ChangeAllLines : BOOLEAN; CurrLayer : HANDLE; X, Y : REAL; XSpacing, YSpacing : REAL; NumAcross : INTEGER; StartX, StartY : REAL; LayerNames : ARRAY[0..200] OF STRING; Index : INTEGER; {=============================================================================} PROCEDURE TraverseSymbol(theSym:Handle); VAR symObjClass : STRING; origLineWt : INTEGER; symName : STRING; symInstance : HANDLE; sX1, sX2, sY1, sY2 : REAL; BEGIN symName := GetSDName(theSym); symName := GetName(theSym); Symbol(symName, X, Y, 0); symInstance := LNewObj; GetBBox(symInstance, sX1, sY1, sX2, sY2); TextFace([bold]); TextOrigin(sX1, sY2 - 1); BeginText; symName EndText; numSymbols := numSymbols + 1; {Increment symbol count here for accurate tracking} X := X + XSpacing; IF (X >= (StartX + (NumAcross * XSpacing))) THEN BEGIN X := StartX; Y := Y - YSpacing; {Move to next row} END; Message(concat('The Sym#', Num2Str(0, numSymbols), ' is - ', symName)); END; {PROCEDURE TraverseSymbol} {==============================================================} PROCEDURE traverseSymbolList (itemHdl:HANDLE); BEGIN WHILE (itemHdl <> NIL) DO BEGIN CASE GetType (itemHdl) OF 16:BEGIN TraverseSymbol(itemHdl); END; 92:BEGIN SymFolderName := GetName(itemHdl); numFolders := numFolders + 1; numNestedFolders := numNestedFolders + 1; LayerNames[numFolders] := SymFolderName; Layer(SymFolderName); X := StartX; Y := StartY; TraverseSymbolList (FInFolder (itemHdl)); END; END; {CASE GetType (itemHdl)} itemHdl := NextObj (itemHdl); END; {WHILE (itemHdl <> NIL)} IF numNestedFolders > 0 THEN numNestedFolders := numNestedFolders - 1; END; {PROCEDURE traverseSymbolList} {==============================================================} BEGIN {*/// Main program ///*} XSpacing := DistDialog('Enter Horizontal Spacing Distance:', ''); YSpacing := DistDialog('Enter Vertical Spacing Distance:', ''); NumAcross := IntDialog('Enter the number of symbols per row', ''); Message('Click on top left corner of the grid'); GetPt(StartX, StartY); CurrLayer := ActLayer; numFolders := 0; numNestedFolders := 0; numSymbols := 0; X := StartX; Y := StartY; LayerNames[0] := GetLName(ActLayer); IF FSymDef <> NIL THEN TraverseSymbolList (FSymDef); Index := 0; Layer(LayerNames[Index]); WHILE (FInLayer(ActLayer) = NIL) DO BEGIN Index := Index + 1; Layer(LayerNames[Index]); END; SetLayerOptions(1); Redraw; ClrMessage; END; {PROCEDURE ShowAllSymbols} RUN (ShowAllSymbols);

In fact, it's quite simple: in the usual list of symbols in an worksheet, I'd like to see the Tag value (Mot clé in French) of the objects placed on the drawing. The "Mot clé" value circled in red in the attached image. Mot clé.vwx

Hello I'm looking for the formula in the table that gives the DataTag of the objects (zzz in the first message) on the drawing. What is it?

Hello, For each plant catalog, you have a .txt file containing plant characteristics and a folder containing images. The file and folder must have exactly the same name. The name of the images must be placed in one of the "images" columns of the text file", i.e. from AC to AF. For example, for plant xxx, you have a file named xx.jpg. You put xx.jpg in the AC column of the LIST_PLant1.txt file and the xx.jpg file in the LIST_PLant1 folder. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello I did a few script creation tests with Chat Gpt, Claude and other AIs and I kept getting errors, even asking them to correct and provide the errors never worked. I tried Grok, and I'm amazed. It creates scripts perfectly. If this one generates an error, I send it to it and it's corrected. I've done some simple tests, but I think there's a way of going much further! Here's the link to the discussion (in French) so you can see how it works. https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMg%3D%3D_78afece4-b399-4a04-ae79-4269a7c90e22

It's actually quite simple: the 0.0 center of a pattern is the center of the group of all the objects making up the pattern. In the image below, it's the red dot. So if you want the 0.0 to be at a particular point, you have to make sure that the center of all the objects in the pattern is at that particular point. To do this, I draw a square (option from center) that includes all the objects in my pattern, from the center 0,0 I want : Finally, I place 4 2DLoccii at the 4 corners and one at the center of the rectangle, and erase the rectangle. The one in the center just helps me to visualize the 0,0 origin of my pattern. My pattern is finished. 2DLocci are only visible on-screen and are drawing aids. But I can place them in a class that I can make invisible if I don't want to see them anymore.

a headache like I love 🙂 Patterns don't seem to work like hatching. Patterns create their 0.0 point at the geographic center of the pattern. You can see this center by grouping the pattern elements, and the 0.0 will be the center of this group. So to get around the problem, I've added the “2D locus” so that all your tiles + the 4 “2D locus” form a whole, and the 0.0 center is the point you want. The “2D locus” are invisible when printed, so you may want to place them in an invisible class. Not easy to explain, I'm attaching the modified example. Tile Example-correct.vwx
