I am sort of having a bit of an issue with encryption. I have attached an image of what is happening after I encrypt. I try to run the plug in and i receive an error that vs module is not built in, so i added it from the sdk to the folder with all my includes and updated the xml file. same error pops up after encryption. Any thoughts?

TWK FTW. Thank you. I was pulling my hair out trying to understand how to reference criteria in python.

I seem to be trying the same thing over and over again. I am trying to understand vs.ForEachObject criteria in terms of python. For example, if I take this script in vectorscript Var Light: Handle; Procedure setname(conventional:Handle); Begin SetRField(conventional,'Lighting Device','Symbol Name','Conventional'); End; Begin ForEachObject(setname,(((PON='Lighting Device') & ('Lighting Device'.'Device Type'='Light')))); End; Run(setname); And I want to move it to Python... I only get as far as, import vs; def setname(h): vs.SetRField(h,"Lighting Device","Symbol Name","Conventional"); vs.ForEachObject(setname, ????) I can't figure out the syntax to check for the device type in a lighting device that is equal to a value of Light. I error out every time.

Pat you are absolutely the best, is there an easy way i might be able to compensate you for your time?

I am working on my Digital Lighting Library, and giving my DL's the proper rectangle output by using shutters and drawing the beam as a solid. For some reason, one of my shutters does not cooperate. Is there something I am missing? see attached files for explanation.

Pat! I came across your name on the boards the other day and meant to PM you as you seem to know what you are talking about. I had forgotten to do so. Anyway, no, you are right, however, I thought with as concise information I provided, that it would be okay to assume that I already knew how to do this manually. I did ask for exactly what I wanted. I was hoping someone knew how to do it off hand and didn't have to do much work but write a few lines of code and I would be on my way. To answer your question, this is something I do for Every show that comes across my desk, (at least 3 to 5 a day) I can get into the details with you privately, however I'd prefer the details of the project to be on the down low. Which is the reason I asked for something quite specific without going into detail about the overall project. Let's chat privately if possible, we could talk compensation for your time as well.

I appreciate your responses, however, can we assume since I am coming to the board (which I never do), that I am asking for what I need? I am having problems finding time to figure out the code to do what I am asking. I am trying to automate a process. If I need to hire a coder because I don't have the time to figure it out, then I will. I was just hoping for a quick answer to a question without the assumption that I want to do anything else but what I have asked. Hippothamus, I appreciate your offer of the tool you are working on, and I would love to look at it, maybe to just analyze the code and see how it works.

In short, and without trying to sound rude, I'd rather double click a script once than have to go and change the data in the OIP every time I work on these files.

Hey Guys and Gals, I am completely fried at the moment and need your help with a vectorscript Problem. I need a vectorscript that will select all instruments with a device type of 'Light' Then Change the field of Symbol Name to 'Conventional' Then Change the Rotation to '0' And finally move all objects to a Y Value of '0' I really appreciate any help.

you're welcome

Vectorworks doesn't like the fact that it is being "watched" by my antivirus software. Gave vectorworks full priveledges and adjusted the antivirus checks to understand that vectorworks is a trusted program. This seems to have solved the issue. Thanks for trying to help.

Alright: Yes I have tried restarting and trying again. the video driver has not been updated. At this point i am to the point of just uninstalling the program and reinstalling.

Doesnt really matter what symbol I use it still hangs when I copy and paste in any document i open, also happens in a new document when i have worked on it for about 20 minutes and i start copying and pasting and moving instruments it hangs. I am only copying one instrument so its not like im overworking the program by copying 90 instruments and pasting them at the same time.
