  1. We use worksheets to produce our key for hoist symbols.

    When we use the image function to get the 2D symbol some symbols have the dimension display flipped and others don't, this means when we turn off the label class the symbols are not aligned correctly.

     

    I have attached some screen shots to illustrate.

     

    Thanks

  2. I am trying to get a model uploaded to web view to show a client.

    Problem is that the textures are showing up very low res, where is the setting to adjust this? I have set GL render to Very High and Web view quality to Very High

     

    Any suggestions

     

    Thanks

  3. I am using a worksheet function to automatically display symbols in the key.

    I set the row height to 16 points and my image is set to 15 points, if extra symbols are added to the drawing upon re-calculating the worksheet  the new rows are defaulting to auto fit!

     

    is there an overall option somewhere that I am overlooking or is this a bug?

     

    Thanks

  4. I am trying to add some info together in a cell of a worksheet and I want it to appear as such " LED Wall @ 12' x 32' " I can do the last apostrophe by using the trailing function in the cell dialog but when I try putting the apostrophe as the foot symbol actually in the header it is obviously  not letting me as that is the syntax to display a character. how can I get around this?

     

    This is what I have to make it work but I want to add the apostrophe's in to this!

     

    =CONCAT('LED Wall @ ', ('VS4-LED'.'ArrayWdth'), ' x ', ('VS4-LED'.'ArrayHght'))

    Thanks

  5. OK So I took @michaelk's idea of changing the '|' to '&' but instead i told it to search for the "Hide from Inventory' record to not be present instead of the actual field value.

    That worked :D

     

    Only problem now is if someone unchecked the "HIDDEN" field value instead of removing the record all together it won't work ¬¬

     

    At least it will get me off to a start.

     

    It is a shame you can't add user fields to built in objects, I added a Show In Inventory checkbox to the Lighting Device Objects (Spotlight) and that works like a charm.

  6. I use a worksheet on my front page to inventory all used fixtures, video elements, truss and soft goods.

    Sometimes we have to create multiple versions of an object to show different positions, I tried to attach a record to the extra objects called "Hide from Inventory" thinking that if I include a criteria in the worksheet for the record "Hide from Inventory" not being present it would be a quick way of excluding extra objects without having to constantly re edit the worksheet.

    Alas it did not work, is there another way to accomplish this or am I going about this the wrong way? I have included a screen grab of my worksheet Criteria, there are 12 screen objects, 6 have the "Hide from Inventory" record attached, 6 do not!

     

    Thanks

  7. I am trying to make a simple Marionette to rotate certain symbols by name in my drawing, every time I run the script it is offsetting the center of the symbol and moving it around, I have tried different nodes to get the center but they all seem to have the same effect!! I have been trying to get this to work for a few days now and could really do with some pointers.

     

    Thanks

  8. I am trying to get a worksheet to return the most recent date from a range of cells using the =MAX(A1..A30) function.

    I have made sure the cells are formatted for a date but it doesn't appear to be working! is there a different function I should be using for a date?

     

    Thanks

  9. Is there a way of linking user inputs?

    For example the user has three input options to choose a circle dimension, circumference, radius or diameter.

    If he chooses a radius of 1" the diameter input will auto update to 2" and the circumference to 6.283"

    Thanks

  10. I hope someone can help me, I have been playing round with creating scripts.

    On some of my saved views I want to run a fit to window script as I have different sized monitors.

    I created a simple script using python

    vs.DoMenuTextByName('Fit To Window')

    when i choose the saved view the script works as it should but I get the following error

    Error: Invalid number of parameters to the callback function. : index = 1 name=index

    File "", line 1, in

    File "", line 1, in

    I have been trying to find a solution to this for most of the day now and it is driving me crazy, any help will be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

  11. I have been looking through the Vectorscript knowledge base trying to find out if it is possible to attach a script to a saved view, that when selected renames the view using the name of the current sheet.

    If anyone could point me in the direction of what to search for, or if it is even a possibility

    Thank you from a new scripture
