  1. Thank you for your help. This should get me started.
  2. Hi Everyone, Can someone please give me an example on how to create a script to insert a symbol at a specific location and place it on a specified layer? I am trying to automate common symbols I place on drawings and having them auto allocate to their layers. In this example I am trying to place a table symbol at 0'-0", 0'-0", 0'-0" on the "Staging" layer and a lighting console symbol inserted as a lighting device at 0'-0", -8'6 1/2", 3'7 3/8" on the "Lighting" layer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Maxwell
  3. Does Vectorworks have a log that I can check to see what is going on in the background when I run a script?
  4. Thank you. I got this to work, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. This creates a Viewport on the current layer, but what I am trying to achieve is to open the "Create Viewport" dialogue to place a viewport on a sheet layer. Thank you, Maxwell
  5. Could you please help me set these up? I don't have much experience with handles. I want to use the handle of the currently selected layer. Pretty much just recreate the DoMenuTextByName commands. Thank you, Maxwell
  6. Hi Everyone, This script keeps crashing Vectorworks when I execute it. I have it as a custom plugin, assigned to a menu drop down, and typically recall it through a hotkey. I tried isolating the line that is giving me issues by commenting out all the others and it looks like the "Create Viewport" command is the culprit. I also tried adding wait commands at different sections of the script and that didn't help either. I was hoping someone could help diagnose what I am doing wrong. The script is designed to turn off dark background, turn off layer colors, change the layer options, set the render mode to wireframe, and then create a viewport and open the viewport dialogue window. SetPref(16, FALSE); SetPref(11, FALSE); SetPrefint(506, 3); DoMenuTextByName('Wireframe Render Chunk', 1); DoMenuTextByName('Create Viewport',0); Thank you, Maxwell
  7. Good to know. Thanks for the help!
  8. I am struggling to get this script to work. I was hoping someone could look over my script and see how I can fix these errors. Thank you! PROCEDURE LayerOptionToggle; VAR LayerOption:INTEGER; BEGIN LayerOption:=GetPrefint(506, 6); IF (LayerOption = 3) THEN SetPrefint(506, 6) ELSE SetPrefint(506, 3) END; RUN(LayerOptionToggle);
  9. Can someone please help me create a scrip to change the render mode to wireframe? The line below doesn't work and I get an error saying "Rendering" isn't a valid menu item.. DoMenuTextByName('Rendering',1); Thank you, Maxwell
  10. How do I set the defaults for a Hang Position? When I select some truss objects and convert to hanging positions I would like to popup to already assume "Create a dingle hanging position from all selected objects." I would also like to set the "Show Name" Boolean to false as the default value in the OIP. Thank you, Maxwell
  11. Hi Everyone, How can I set the Viewport and Section default settings so I don't have to click every button each time I create a viewport. Thank you, Maxwell
  12. Hi Everyone, I am looking at the new Viewport Label Style and want to add a field that shows the viewport's view. So if I the viewport is in a front view it will display "Front" and if I change it to a top view it will say "Top". This would work exactly like the scale. Thanks Maxwell
  13. I draft with the layer color setting toggled on in my design layers, but when I switch to my sheet layers I want the setting to automatically turn off so the lines are true colors. Then when I go back into a design layer it toggles back to my last setting, in this case it would be to layer colors turned on. Exactly how AutoCAD does it.
