Cross-post from VectorScript Forum: Petri, I have self-appointed myself to document your significant contributions to this board. Please keep it up. VG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Petri Top 10 (with apologies to those he has offended): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "It is interesting to note that the "VP Integrated Products" cannot understand or acknowledge any other uses for VW than (McMansion) "architecture"." "Well, in that case you are a complete idiot, because you don't understand what I wrote above." "VW will never become useful outside the U.S. of A: the Powers That Be are ignorant and myopic." "Look - I don't really care whether you call it RFP, RCP or YMCA. Just make yourself understandable. " "Your wish is my command. Ignore this user... Poof! You're gone!" "You refer to feet and inches, so you must live in the U. S. of A, the proud herald of obsolete dimensions. Fine, good, excellent! That explains at least the language. " "Dear me! Is this some sort of a religious board? I had no idea... Logging out for good. " "Of course it is a blessing, too: as far as we don't actually know what the other party is talking about, we can be just as bitchy and condescending [as] we like." "The overwhelming majority in either respect could not care less for your political statement. Thank you for your attention and please carry on inspecting your navel-lint." "Back to the drawing board, people!"

You can use this script to update Data Stamps. Either make a menu command out of it, place it in a script palette, or add it to the script section of your saved views. {copy and paste below} Procedure reset_data; VAR h : HANDLE; Procedure doit(h : HANDLE); BEGIN ResetObject(h); END; BEGIN ForEachObject(doit,((R IN ['Data Stamp']))); END; Run(reset_data);

Thanks Mr. Linzey - very helpful. I was always using DoMenuTextByName, with Copy and Paste (with an active layer change in between). This is much simpler. V-Geek.

JEz, The script Miguel so kindly made for you is looking for lines assigned to the class "LineClass". In order to make it work, change the line of code near the end to match the name of the class that your lines are assigned to. The line currently reads: ForEachObject(ProcessLine,(((C='LineClass') & (T=LINE)))); Make sure to keep the single quotes - just change LineClass to whatever your class name is. HTH V-Geek.

Not the culprit at all. If you'd read my post, it had a question which I'll repeat: What keeps bringing you back? VG

Petri, I will remind readers that on May 12th, 2007, you said good-bye (for the 87th time, but who's counting) to the VW world: ------Quote------- But never mind. I'll just take my playthings to another sandbox. I have other IP-addresses and could circumvent the Gestapo, but I couldn't be bothered. VW will never become useful outside the U.S. of A: the Powers That Be are ignorant and myopic. So long and have fun with VectorToyWorks. ------Unquote----- I am left wondering, what keeps bringing you back? Although there are many who would probably wish you would stay away for good, I have seen you come and go since the CompuServe days. Each time you say good-bye, you unleash some wicked hyperbole, stomp out the door and swear that you are done. Within weeks, you slink back in and begin to throw your barbs at other forum members. Many take it personally, I just laugh because like the Line Tool in VW, you will always be there in some form. Keep up the good work buddy.

For what it's worth: Having been involved with this product for some 15 years, and lurking about the various forums and mailing lists (including the original on CompuServe!), I will note that Petri has "said good-bye" many times before, only to return soon after with his acerbic wit and stinging criticism of VW. Petri, for leaving [again], you'll be missed by some and thanked by others. I look forward to your triumphant return in a month or so. VectorGeek.
