  1. Hello.

    I haven't scripted for some years and never used a lot modern dialogs. I try to know how Pushbuttons work.. in fact, what happens when the user clicks on such a thing ? What happens and how to retrieve data passed, what kind of data and how to use it ?

    If someone can help, many thanks in advance

  2. Hello...nice question.

    The first basic thing would be allowing VS to handle jpegs in dialogs and in info palettes. To be able to manage dialogs ? la Archicad.

    2 : handling buttons

    3 : Syntax colouring

    4 : drawing dialogs as in Visual Basic or Delphi or...

    5 : Pascal is relatively nice, but some cad packages allow scripting in more than one language.

    Thanks

  3. Auto-answer.

    OK. The trick is to create symbols by script and erasing them after having called the dialog. Simple.

    1. PIO (door for example)

    2. Check-box in the info palette calling the dialog (a vss in this case)

    3. Go back to the PIO after having hit 'OK' and uncheck the check-box. The symbols created are erased by the way.

    I found these problems :

    - The screen doesn't regenerate even with 'redrawall'. There's to put a 'SetZoom(GetZoom)' in the pio code.

    - The latest symbol drawn remains in the ressource palette.

  4. "...what would you like to see coming out of VectorWorks that you don't currently?"

    Hello. Thanks for asking.

    I think we'll have to wait sompe long monthes for '12' here in Belgium. Anyway, what is described in the pdf flyer seems very exciting.

    From my point of view, it would be interesting to allow us to open more than one 'instance' of the design space for a same project, maybe in the same way as sheet tabs in excel. So switching from a viewport where you control your plans, details,.. to tabs with predefined views of the project would allow you to quickly modify things.

    Maybe a control-command click on a tab would open it as a standalone window.

    And/or : opening different files in tabs + viewports where views from different files would be allowed.

    Just suggestions. Please don't take this for blind criticism and sorry for my limited english.

    All the best.

  5. Hello.. maybe someone can help me. Sometimes I have to work in another office where I installed the 11.5 VW too. I carry the dongle from a place to the other.

    Anyway, I am not able to carry the VW preferences. I tried to copy the 'Plugins' and 'Standards' - Standards is 'Templates' here. My shortcuts are not imported. Is there some file I did forget ? (PC, VWA 11.5.x, Localized belgian french version)

    Thank you for your suggestions

  6. Hello all

    Maybe my english is bad. Sorry.

    As you've noticed, there's an insulation tool of mine on the vectordepot...and it's not an upgrade of somebody's else. This version hasn't a 'rigid' mode.

    Here's a link for an enhanced pio with a 'rigid mode' button. It's surely not a standard design, but here in Belgium builders understand it.

    Regards

  7. Hello

    I have written an insulation tool and it's at the vectordepot. This tool has now new features and has 3 rigid modes. It will be part of a whole set of archi tools available as soon as possible. If you have questions, just mail me.

    Regards

  8. Hello all,

    Once again would it be so hard to add these features to VS ...

    1. Button tools (No need to click on the screen);

    2. Control of the icons appearing on the status bar;

    3. A real and secure enkryption method;

    4. Some way to add picture controls to dialogs without the need of a mac (PC users);

    Thank you.

    Francesco
