    in Buying and Selling Vectorworks Licenses

    Posted

    Hi, no idea what means that of connected.

     

    the 2021 license no need upgrade to be used.

    the upgrade cost around 900€\$.

     

    Vectorworks reseller will tax the transaction, I already have asked how much?

    I have found that was around 200£ in 2019.

     

    I would like to receive 3500.

    so at the end you save around 40% cost of a new license

    New symbol with field value

    in Python Scripting

    Posted · Edited by avictorgm

    In other Topic you got me on the way to read the value of the databank of a symbol.

     

    Now the problem is exactly the contrary.

     

    I want to create a new symbol with 200 written in the textfield, but comes 60!

     

     

    Lasten = 200Kg

     

    the databank is named: "LOADS_DB"

    The field of the databank is named: "Lasten"

     

     

    but somehow that leaves  another totally different number in the field Lasten---> 60

     

    I feel the problem is in the last line of code.

     

    Any help?

    How to read the value of a field (linked to databank) of a symbol

    in Python Scripting

    Posted

    At the end

     

    I GOT IT!!!!

     

    Took me a little, but after this a whole world of possibilities has opened to me! 

    import vs
#Vistor Garzon 2020 based on the work of
# ©MaKro - June 2018 ;-)


H1 = vs.FSActLayer()
H2 = vs.ActSymDef(H1)

recname = vs.GetName(H2)  # Name of PIO in InfoPalette
Rec_Name = vs.GetObject(recname) 
fld = vs.GetRField(H1,'loads-roof','Deckenlast')

##### vs.GetRField(h,'DatabankName','FieldName')

vs.AlrtDialog(fld)

    Python Custom Script for your Company

    in Job Board

    Posted

    Hi,

    My Name: Victor

    My Skills: Python, Excel Makros, BIM expert...

    My experience: Besides, GIS and Statik Engineering--> 4 years Event engineering using spotlight

     

     

    Examples of my Scripts:

    1) A script that substitute one specific symbol for a custom group of simbols depending of the position.

     

    2) Another that check every layer looking for an specific symbol name to check how many exist in layers with specific names.

         On that way you avoid to add hundred exceptions to the Material List.

     

    3) Another that creates several layout layers  around the exact coordinates of an area.

         Each one with different selection of classes and layers.

         So, for example: the first has only the forest layers on, with classes of animals off.

                                       the second one can be the layers with the word "water" in the name.

     

    4) Layer Creator, I mean, with one click you can create several layers with specific extension names based on the first given name/code.

     

     

    5) Automatic measuring of simbols. very usefull if you have 50 simbols inside an area and have no time to loose clicking, and clicking, and clicking...

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Rename objects

    in Python Scripting

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    No way to rename objects (rectangle or polygons) with:

    Even with 3D polygons the problem is the same.

     

    But If the element is a sphere it works. Why?

     

    vs.SetName() 

    import vs


ObjectName = vs.GetName(vs.FSActLayer())
vs.AlrtDialog(str(ObjectName))

SName = 'Fred'
points = [0,0,-0.5,1,0.5,1.5,2,1,1,-0.5,0,0]
h1 = vs.Poly(*points)
vs.SetName(h1, SName)
    import vs

X1 = 100
Y1 = 150
X2 = 0
Y2 = 500
NombreStand = 'Nombre'


SName = vs.Concat(NombreStand)
h = vs.Poly(0,0,X1,Y1,X2,Y2,0,0)

h1 = vs.SetPolyClosed(h, 1)

h2 = vs.MakePolygon(h1)

vs.DSelectAll()

vs.SetName(h2, SName)

     

    This one works perfect! 

    import vs


ObjectName = vs.GetName(vs.FSActLayer())
vs.AlrtDialog(str(ObjectName))

SName = 'Fred'
h1 = vs.CreateSphere(0, 0, 0, 1000)
vs.SetName(h1, SName)

     

    I am wondering if the problem is that are 2D elements, (that has no sense at all)

    Export text to txt using python

    I found this other way

    Hello people, 

     

    I just edit because I found this way.

      

    import vs
import os

Vendor = 'ACME'
Price = 123.45
Tax = 1.07

fileName = 'Classes.txt'


def Example():
	vs.GetFile(fileName)
	if not vs.DidCancel():
		vs.Rewrite(Vendor, 0)
		#vs.WriteBin(Vendor)
		#vs.WriteMac(Vendor)
		#vs.WriteLnMAC(Vendor)
		#vs.Write(Vendor)
		vs.Close(fileName)

Example()

     

     

     

    But, the next attributes get this message:   "AttributeError: module 'vs' has no attribute 'WriteBin'. "

     

    -vs.Write

    -vs.WriteLnMac

    -vs.WriteBin

    -vs.WriteMac

     

    With write I don't get error, but also no result.

    -vs.Rewrite

    Hello

    I have tried many options to change the attributes of  the static text to purple text and back color red.

    I got half, the text color.

     

    I can even change the color of the background of the document.

     

    But somehow the pattern of the background stays in empty option for the text.

     

    What small line of text am I missing?
