Happy to report that the fix @JBenghiat suggested also solves my second problem of the script crashing vwx to desktop on macOS. I reported the behaviour as a bug as recommended.

Thank you very much @JBenghiat . Now that you´ve laid it out for me it seems so obvious . I've applied your second suggestion, to remove choice 0 n times, and this has solved my first problem. I can now clear the listbox with just a single function call, which is great and I feel like less of a cheater.... Tomorrow I will check if this fix also resolves the issue of vwx crashing on macOS. I'll report back. Regarding your recommendation to report this as a bug, I guess https://www.vectorworks.net/support/bugsubmit would probably the right place to that? Once I've done the test on mac I'll make sure to write a bug report. Thank you so much!!!

Hello. I'm having trouble figuring something out with a dialog that I am building. Hope someone here might be able to shed some light on what I am doing wrong Version Info: VWX 2021 SP2.1.1 R1 (Build 580007) (64Bit) on Win10 and MacOs Script: The script I am attaching here is a simplified version of my actual script that I am using this dialog in. The actual script's purpose is to present the user with a dialog that lets him choose a symbol folder from the document's resources (pulldown). This selection triggers the listbox to be populated with the names of all record formats that are connected with the symbols in the selected folder. The user can also check a box to include possible subfolders of the selected symbol folder. When the user changes his selection or checks/unchecks the subfolder option I first clear the listbox of old items before re-populating it with new items (record format names) based on the new user selection. So in total, the user selects a symbol folder (optionally incl. subfolders) and a record format which the script than uses to write a csv file that can be used to edit complex record entries for a multitude of symbols in Excel. This data edited in Excel can then be reimported to update the record formats of all symbol definitions in the selected symbol folder. To present my problem without any fat attached I have isolated the dialog and use dummy data from hardcoded lists for populating the dialog elements. Problems: 1. I have to call my clearListBox function 2 times to fully clear the listbox of previous items. I'm using vs.GetChoiceCount to get the current number of items in the listbox and then run a 'for' loop with vs.RemoveChoice to remove the items from the listbox. If I am running this only once (which I think should suffice) some old items remain in the listbox, which is the reason I am calling the function twice. (See event functions) 2. The second and bigger problem I have is that triggering the call of my clearListBox function causes Vectorworks to crash to Desktop on MacOs. On Win10 it works fine. (The crash on MacOs mostly happens on the second triggering of the event. So you can check the box to include subfolders but a following uncheck crashes vwx.) Attempts for solution so far: I suspected there might be a problem with the checkbox dialog component on MacOs that caused the crash to desktop. I therefore made another version of the dialog with radio buttons (yes / no) to see if the problem disappears. Sadly both attempts work only on Windows but crash Vectorworks on MacOs. I therefore think there must be something wrong with the way I am handling the clearing of the listbox but cant figure out what it is. Since my solution for clearing the listbox (see problem 1) by simply doing it twice is kinda hacky I also thought this might cause the problem but the amount of times I'm calling the function does not change anything about the crash on MacOs. Searched the interwebs and this forum for the problem without success. I would really appreciate you help.

Here are a few things I have figured out so far: The callback in the form shown in the original post does seem to work but seems to behave differently depending on the type of resource that is being imported. 1. When vs.BuildResourceListN2 is used with object type selector 92 (symbol folder) the replacement in case of conflict works for the symbol definitions contained in the symbol folders but not for the symbol folders themselves. This means if the imported symbol folder is already a resource in file B when I run the script again, Vectorworks prompts me to rename the imported symbol folder (instead of replacing it at as the callback function says). However, if I have made a change to any of the contained symbol definitions in file A that symbol definition will be re-imported and will replace the symbol definition with the same name in file B. (In file B it will be placed in the manually renamed folder though). 2. When I use vs.BuildResourceListN2 with object type selector 16 (symbol definition) the replacement of symbol definition resources works as intended but the imported symbol definitions will always be placed in the topmost resource directory of file B, which means the structure of the the resources I have created in my file A by using symbol folders is lost. I have unsuccessfully spent some time trying to figure out a workaround by determining from the resource list from file A what symbol folder each symbol definition is in. I could not figure it out though. The resource list gives only a list ID and the index of each contained item. Generating a handle from that with vs.GetResourceFromList only works for resources in the current document. Without the handle I don't know how to determine the parent container (symbol folder). 3. Interestingly, when I use vs.BuildResourceListN2 with object type selector 51 (script palette) everything works exactly the way I would like it to. I can run the script and import a script palette with all included scripts. Already existing scripts in file B are automatically replaced. This way i can make updates to scripts in file A, then run the script-update-script in file B and the existing, older version of the scripts in file B are automatically replaced with the updated versions from file A. This also means, that if I add a new script to the script palette in file A, the script-update-script in file B will import that new script without knowing of it by hardcoded stringname because it simply imports the whole palette with all its contents. (I would really love for this to work with symbol folders and their contained symbol definitions.) That the same callback function behaves this way for the 3 different types of objects is something I can't explain. Here is my slightly updated (more generalized) version of the script. It is prepared to work with the 3 different object types (uncomment/comment): def callback(resName): # callback for 'vs.ImportResToCurFileN'-used in case of conflict (imported res already in cur file) ImportResCallback = 1 # '0' = Do not import ; 1' = replace ; '2' = rename return ImportResCallback sourcePath = r"C:\Users\Username\My\Path\Source_File_A.vwx" #objType = 92 #symbol folder #importInclList = ["Symbols - Geometry", "Symbols - Text"] #objType = 16 #symbol definition #importInclList = ["Symbol-1-Circle", "Symbol-2-Rectangle", "Symbol-3-Triangle", "Symbol-4-Circle-Text", "Symbol-5-Rectangle-Text", "Symbol-6-Triangle-Text"] #objType = 49 #document script #importInclList = ["Script-1", "Script-2", "Script-3"] objType = 51 #script palette importInclList = ["Scripts"] importListID, importListNumItems = vs.BuildResourceListN2(objType, sourcePath, False) importDict = {} for i in range(importListNumItems): importSymFoldName = vs.GetNameFromResourceList(importListID, i + 1) importDict[importSymFoldName] = i + 1 for entry in importInclList: vs.ImportResToCurFileN(importListID, importDict[entry], callback) vs.AlrtDialog(str(importListID) + "\n" + str(importListNumItems) + "\n" + str(importDict)) BTW, don't mind the vs.AlrtDialog. I just like it better to view my outputs than vs.Message in most cases.

Hi, I'm trying to import a list of symbol folders with all contained symbols from a source file and this works fine using 'vs.BuildResourceListN2' and 'vs.ImportResToCurFileN'. I'm having trouble figuring out how the required callback function for 'vs.ImportResToCurFileN' is supposed to work though. The first time I run the script in Work_file_B it successfully imports the list of symbol folders from Source_file_A. When I run the script again Vectorworks prompts me to rename the folder. I would like it to be replaced though (and all the contents as well). The documentation for 'vs.ImportResToCurFileN' says that you need a return value of '1' from the callback function to handle this. However, this does not seem to work. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what the callback procedure does? Background: I want to be able to make changes to symbols in a central file A. When I run the script in work files B,C,D,..... (that have the same symbol folders) I want to import and replace that set list of symbol folders and their content from file A to file B. This way I would be able to update all changes to symbols in the source file to all work files that run the script. Would be great if someone could shed some light on the workings of the callback function. i.e. Why does it have an input parameter but is not called with one? Here is what my code looks like: def callback(resName): # callback for 'vs.ImportResToCurFileN'-used in case of conflict (imported res already in cur file) ImportResCallback = 1 # '0' = Do not import ; 1' = replace ; '2' = rename return ImportResCallback sourcePath = r"C:\Users\Username\My\Path\Source_File_A.vwx" symFoldList = ["Symbols - Geometry", "Symbols - Text"] importSymFoldListID, importSymFoldNumItems = vs.BuildResourceListN2(92, sourcePath, False) importSymFoldDict = {} for i in range(importSymFoldNumItems): importSymFoldName = vs.GetNameFromResourceList(importSymFoldListID, i + 1) importSymFoldDict[importSymFoldName] = i + 1 for foldername in symFoldList: vs.ImportResToCurFileN(importSymFoldListID, importSymFoldDict[foldername], callback) vs.AlrtDialog(str(importSymFoldListID) + "\n" + str(importSymFoldNumItems) + "\n" + str(importSymFoldDict)) Source_File_A.vwx Work_File_B.vwx
