Summarizing LED Aspect Ratios in Worksheet
Pat Stanford replied to Giallovision's topic in Entertainment
There is a wish in for a "Sum before Calculate" option for database subrows. Right now it calculates each subrow separately and then sums the result. Which means that you don't get what you want in a Database. -

It appears to only do that for a Symbol in Wall. For a hybrid symbol just on a layer I get the expected dialog box if I choose just "Edit". But for a Symbol in Wall, I get the 2D portion of the symbol if I choose Edit from a Top/Plan view and the 3D portion if in any other view. One of you who actually uses Walls might want to submit this as a bug.

Object Class or Symbol Visibilities Issue
Pat Stanford replied to joeov's question in Troubleshooting
Where are you saying the Class is set to Visible? In the Navigation Palette? Or under the Classes... button and dialog box in the OIP for the Viewport? If you created the sandbag class after the viewport, it is likely that the Class is set to invisible from the Classes... button. -

Try building a resource list of all symbols in the document and then step through the list use GetSymDefSubType = 354 and DeleteResourceFromList to remove the items that don't have a subtype of 354. The following script is where I found the 354. It could be incorrect. Be careful and run this script on a small test file because the AlrtDialog means you will have to hit return once for every symbol definition in the file. In my test file I had 3 Space Object Styles and 2 Data Tag Styles. I got 3 returns of 354 and 2 of 599. Test and see if you get that in your file also. Procedure Test; VAR L1, L2 :LongInt; N1, N2 :Integer; H1 :Handle; BEGIN L1:=BuildResourceList(16,0,'',L2); For N1:=1 to L2 DO BEGIN H1:=GetResourceFromList(L1, N1); If H1<>Nil Then BEGIN N2:=GetSymDefSubType(H1); AlrtDialog(Concat('Position in Resource list: ',N1,' Symbol Def Sub Type: ',N2)); End; End; End; Run(Test);

I think you would either have to share a list of shortcuts and have the users edit their workspaces, or, and this is probably the better solution, do a periodic "issue" of the workspace so they can store it in the User folder:Workspace folder. It would not be instant update, but I don't know that you would really want shortcuts to change in the middle of a session. Since you are on Mac, you could even create a short AppleScript or Automator action to put the updated workspace in the correct location. So all the user would need to do is double click (and probably authorize).

Summarizing LED Aspect Ratios in Worksheet
Pat Stanford replied to Giallovision's topic in Entertainment
I don't think you are going to get that in a database row. You certainly are not going to get is in a column reporting the Aspect Ratio field value(s). How would you manually combine 2:1 and 12:1 to get the proper aspect ratio? Probably best would be to just us a formula using the values of columns D and E and do the division and multiplication to generate the numerator of the ratio and then use a Concat and Value functions to generate the Value ':1' overall string for display. -
Custom Selection Tool : select rectangles of a certain size
Pat Stanford replied to blimey's topic in Architecture
Yes it is probably possible. But tell me more about exactly what you want the script to do. I don't want to guess wrong and waste time developing something that won't meet your needs. -
Summarizing LED Aspect Ratios in Worksheet
Pat Stanford replied to Giallovision's topic in Entertainment
Add an additional Summarization on Column C. It should then separate out and give you separate rows for each position and spec ration combination. When database rows are summarized, any columns that do not have a Summarization but that have multiple different data values show as the '---'. Ask again if this is not clear enough. -
Door tool Not working in vectorworks drafting
Pat Stanford replied to Vectorworks drafter Shiv's question in Troubleshooting
I know. You have been here long enough (almost 11 years) that I have a sense of your sense of humor. 😉 And I often use it as an opportunity to be snarky while hopefully passing on useful information. 🤦♂️🤷♂️ Have a good evening. 🙂 -
Door tool Not working in vectorworks drafting
Pat Stanford replied to Vectorworks drafter Shiv's question in Troubleshooting
No you wouldn't. Because as soon as you named the class Door (to match the Door object), you would either not be able to name the class that (if there was already a Door object in the drawing) or not be able to insert a Door object (if there was already a class named Door. So you would have found out very quickly, that you would need to use a different name 😉 FYI, Objects and Classes are in the same name space. Layers have a separate name space. So you could have a Layer named Door and still be able to place Door objects.
