  1. In this marionette, i have records being attached and updated as the size of the truss is changed in the IOP. The records are name and weight so i can sort them and pull weights in a area based on x/y. The records work great as a marionette object not yet wrapped up. However, once it's wrapped and then converted to an object node, the records are no longer attached.

    I guess before i bang my head against the wall, i should ask " Is this is even possible?"

  2. I'm kinda stuck and need a little help. I'm creating a Tyler GT Plug-in object that contains all the truss i use, and allows the connectors to be flipped. For easy sorting on big shows all symbols are in a "master class" but i would also like them Marionette symbol that is created to be placed in classes according to  length for easy sorting. 

    Everything is working and the debug print is showing the proper string, but the class is not assigned the the object the first time around. it's takes two presses of the run command to assign the class by the radio button length option. As a result, when creating a plug-in object out of the wrapper, you cannot run the script twice so the class is never changed.

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction. The only thing i can possibly think of it's trying assign the class before the object is done being created, and second time around, it's already there. Is there a way to time the script? Maybe a sleep function?

  3. It appears that i cannot have a container present for the 3d to work. And after the file has been introduced a container into the lebel legend. the 3d portion no longer works at all, container or not. Then the scaling gets real weird and wont let me do any 3d in the file at all.

  4. Auto save isn't the issue. Normally press save after ever large move just out of habit.

     

    The issues here is not with the save config. The issue is with returning the the Design Layers form a Sheet Layer after a viewport has been created. Lowering the DPI of the sheet seems to have a positive effect but not full proof. The best way i have found so far is to step down through the sheets to Sht-1 and then goto the design layer. This yields an immediate response and no lag. Something this odd, that's not how the software should work.

  5. Putting this out there to see if anyone else has had any issues with section viewports.

     

    The problem is not creating them, that's a cake walk, the issue is when the viewport is created on a sheet layer and you return to the design layer to continue working.. I'm waiting as long as 15 minutes, until the machine all of the sudden decides that it's going to wake up and start working properly again because of the auto save prompt. Not an issue in 2017 at all.

     

    Anyone have this long lag time? I'm working on a project that will require 60 Section viewports so if i add up the extra 15 min per viewport, i will have to charge my client something that they are not willing to pay for the extra 900 minutes the job will take me due to software issues..... Let's see what the hive has to say.

  6. I have lighting objects inserted into a file but the Z of the lighting does not properly reflect on the ruler.

     

    As a result,  all of my exports are showing up in other software at 100+ ft in the air...

     

    Anyone have a fix for this? See attached screen shot for an example. This has never happened before i don't feel like making a new file... just looking for a Z fix. :)
