    VectorBits VB XY

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks Tim, but the origin is set to 0,0 in the Create Object pallette. When I place the VB XY on a locus I have at 0,0 the displayed data is: X:-394.856536

    y:-528.301886. It has been quite a while since I have used this tool. I think it was VW2008 when I last used it without this issue then upraded to VW2010.

    I am trying to use the Vectorbits VB XY plug-in to obviously give me the x,y coordinates. When I place it on my drawing the coordinates are not correct. They do not match the x,y shown in the object info. pallette. What is this plug-in using for a 0,0 origin? Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Color in Sketchup models

    I would like to update this into the same issue with VW2008. I import from the 3-d warehouse to sketchup and save. Then import into VW. The model comes in as thousands of polygons and it no longer has the fill colors that it had in sketchup. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Select all occurrences of a symbol.

    I am sure this is simple for those of you here much smarter than I. I would like to have a tool (script) that I can select a symbol and have all of occurrences on the active layer of that symbol selected. I know I can use the custom selection tool, but I would sure like to just click on one of the symbols and have all occurrences selected without having to fill out all the custom search criteria.

    Thanks in advance for any help given.

    Labeling x and y coordinates on drawing

    Thanks so much for the help. This is what I was looking for. The only thing I would like to change is to be able to round to 2 decimal places instead of carrying the number all the way out to 10 decimal places. Is there an easy way to do this? Once again thanks for all the help.

    I am not real smart on scripts. I have only used ones the people have shared in this forum. I have never written my own. Here is the script I have. Can you tell me how to add your suggestions?

    Thanks a bunch.

    PROCEDURE XYText;

    VAR

    objectHand, recordHand, wallHand : HANDLE;

    objectName : STRING;

    X, Y : REAL;

    BEGIN

    IF GetCustomObjectInfo(objectName, objectHand, recordHand, wallHand) THEN BEGIN {Get Object info}

    SetObjectVariableBoolean (objectHand,800,TRUE); {Let the text style be changed by the user from outside}

    GetSymLoc(objectHand, X, Y); {Get Object Position}

    END;

    Locus(0,0); {Something to see, won't print}

    TextOrigin (0,0); {Set text position, note the object internal coordinate system)}

    FillPat(0); {Set Fill to None}

    BeginText;

    Concat('E ',Num2StrF(X),' N ',Num2StrF(Y),'' ) {Note there is no ; at the end of this line}

    EndText;

    END;

    RUN (XYText);

    Nurbs

    I had someone send me a drawing in .igs format so I could get it in 3-D. When I import the .igs it is a bunch of nurbs curves. How can I make this something I can give fill properties to?

    Grid Lines in Viewer

    Posted

    I have another problem with viewer 11. When I try to use help I get this error; "an error occurred while opening the help system. Make sure the "VWHelp" directory is in the same directory as the application." I have un-installed viewer 11, re-downloaded and re-installed with the same result. The file "VWHelp Resources" is in the Vectorworks Viewer 11 folder. Any suggestions?

    Text window

    What is the "banner" above the text window when entering text in version 10.5? It is grey and has "L" shaped symbols that can be drug with the cursor father apart or closer together. I just wonder if this has a purpose.
