[export and import 'negative' polyline]

Off course I mean the radius of an arc object...

[export and import 'negative' polyline]

Hello Raymond,

695 works ok! The confusion is style vs type...

 

I am building a way to select items in a drawing, export these to a text file and reproduce the drawing from the text file. The text is stored in a database and I can be selected from the database to add to a drawing, to add details to the main drawing.

 

Creating an arc can be done 2 different ways but I think center and radius is the easiest. Does anyone have a solution to get the radius of a drawing. I must be again missing something, but I can't find a objectvar or procedure to get it...

[export and import 'negative' polyline]

Thank you Joshua, strange I didn't see that before...

 

I have another question for the creation of a polygon and or polyline:

with getObjectVariableInt (h, 696) I get the fill type of the polygon.

If I want to set the type with  setObjectVariableInt (h1, 696, str2num(s)) where s is "2" for a solid color I get an error that constant 696 is not supported for the handle. h1 points to a kpolylinenode.

 

Can someone please help me with how to set the fill type?

[export and import 'negative' polyline]

Hello forum,

 

I have a polyline object with another polyline cut out of it. If I traverse the poly in vectorscript with vertexNum and GetPolylineVertex I only get the surrounding points, not the one that make the cut out part.

How do I get to this part of the polyline?

 

Thanks!

[Finding the dimType of a dimension in a drawing]

Thanks Pat for your answer.

 

The value of Dimension Type is always 0, constrained. I need to know if it is horizontal or vertical constrained.

What I did is look at the dimension text and the delta X and Y. That way I can determine if it is horizontal or vertical (most of the time).

[Finding the dimType of a dimension in a drawing]

Hello Vectworkscript profesionals,

 

I'm trying to write an import and export system do export selected objects in a drawing to a text file and vise versa.

 

For importng a linearDim, I need the dimType, but can't find a way to determine this from a dimension object in the source document.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
