Hello Christiaan I have never seen there but it may have. Meanwhile you can google it Or you can make them ...

Hello michaelk well i was nocking my head in the walls when i decided to remake the worksheet using "make report" and using my titleblock fields.... and guess what ???? I am a dumbass because it worked at the first try lololol Thx for your answer, it was the correct one Orlando

Hello good morning thx for your reply I cant do as you said, i am doing something wrong. By the way, you are getting sheet number from title block or sheet layer ???? I am asking this because i wanna extract those records from sheet layer not from title blocks ... Thx p.s. file attatched

Hello Ppl I am trying to make a report to list all of the existing sheet layers but order them by Sheet Number. Can this be doable???? p.s. i google it and search here but i didnt find a solution... thx in advanced

Good Morning, i am just a noobie and perhaps i didnt understand the question but "Pedro P. Palazzo" question cant be resolved using classes? i mean if he uses different classes to differe from each other can't his question be answered ? or even using "id prefix" to distinguish ? regards "Trying to learn something everyday"

Hello Miguel 1) yep thats it you are absolutly right 2) thx very much it worked like a charm by the way thx again for your help regards

hello mullinRj thx 1) i was asking for origin point of the tool script, therefore i have to do it with x3,y3 . . . i am such an.. 2) hmm ok i have Num2StrF(0, 00); so i must have Num2Str(2,2) ??? . . . 3) you are allmost correct i wanna change inside the symbol and outside all the instances so i have to loop and FlnSym (...got to search this tonight) 4)yes i wanna do that but i wanna achieve to also move all the symbols that contain a certain value or all the symbols. (i think i will leave the final one to last because it will perhaps be an independent script because of the complexity??) thx regards edit: point 2) my mistake i have to leave Num2StrF alone and : First .. .. { Create the Record Format if it doesn't exist. } IF (GetObject(ElevRec)=nil) then NewField(ElevRec, ElevFld, '0,00', 6, 2); .. .. l8ter .. .. SetRField(LNewObj, ElevRec, ElevFld, Num2Str(2,(y1 - y3)+b)); .. ..

hello miguel thx a lot for the getmouse function , 1)strangely it works good on the tool script, but in point tool it doesn work properly. why is that? 2)i still have the problem with snaps ... it doesnt follow them not even if i shift to maintain horizontal or verticallity . .. regards

Can you help me with this script ? 1) If i make an script it works but 2) point tool it draw the lines but then they disapear... 3) if i make this a simple tool it does not folow snap points . . 4) in tools (all) while drawing the lines it dont show them, only when exiting the script they appear.. PROCEDURE DrawXline; VAR x1, x2, y1, y2 : REAL; BEGIN DSelectAll; while true do bEgin GetPt(x1,y1); GetPtL(x1,y1,x2,y2); MoveTo(x1,y1); LineTo(x2,y2); Scale(1000,1000); DSelectAll; END; END; RUN(DrawXline); thx regards p.s. my original post and script last year is here where i was helped but this question i never asked... p.s. II by the way if i remove while true do begin it works good, the question is that i will have to call the script repetidly

hello, ppl i got it figured it out . . MullinRJ i was doing .. .. SetRField(LNewObj, ElevRec, ElevFld, Num2StrF(y1 - (-y3)-0.07)); .. .. but in fact i should be doing ( i had relative height to simplify origin points) .. .. b := RealDialog('2? - Relative Height?', Concat(b)); { ask for an elevation reference } .. SetRField(LNewObj, ElevRec, ElevFld, Num2StrF((y1 - y3)+b)); .. .. so, now i have some questions: 1) how can i "save" origin point ? (save in a record the coordinates?) 2) how can i restrain the decimal places to 2 in records and in text(here suposly??. for example the heigth is 5 it writes 5,00 (now it only shows the 5 number...) 3) i have a parameter to assign a class. this works fine the first time we make the symbol but not the next times of course. How can i change inside a symbol the class of the objets? 4) by the way you sayd it was doable to "move" this symbols is i change the height ? how ? thx and regards

hello miguel thx for the input any other way to preserve user workspace ? thx

Hello everyone i have on my vectorworks a custom toolset besides 2d/3d/etc.. i have one lets going by example ORLANDO where i have my tools. 1) how can i copy them to another computer without the hassel of having to going to "customize workspace" , creating there in tools "ORLANDO" and putting everything by hand? 2) can this be done for example whith vectorscript? p.s.I if possible cross platform windows and mac p.s.II if i am not being understandable please say because i do not have the best english around lolol

hello beanus well modelling terrain is sometime very painfull. Picking your example and using 85m line put more 3d loci with up and down values depending on your terrain like 85,5 and 84,5 (for example) nearby your line. If i am not being very understandable see file attached regards p.s. by the way if you have information use the most of it and use curve lines and 3d loci together for most acurate

hello pat ok, gotta nock myself against a wall. Starters sufers a lot to understand basics thx againg pat i will try this l8ter p.s. by the way i allready asked this in the mailing list but do ya know any way to find computer's language ? i know i know i out of my league he!he!he!

..... afterall it has an 7cm difference, odd strange example: b:=0 final = 4,50 b:=-1 final = 5,58 . . . but like this works lol .. SetRField(LNewObj, ElevRec, ElevFld, Num2StrF(y1 - (-y3)-0.07)); ..

by the way, why do this script works fine but if i change it to: AlrtDialog('Select Origin Point.'); GetPt(x3, y3); { This is where the reference elevation is stored } b := RealDialog('Elevation Reference Height?', Concat(b)); { ask for an elevation reference } AlrtDialog('Select Elevation Markers Point of Elevation'); y3:= b; the elevation goes in the wrong way? example: b:=0 final = 4,5 b:=1 final = 3,5 . . . why is that ? thx p.s. but if i do the oposite way it works example: b:=0 final = 4,5 b:=-1 final = 5,5 . . . p.s.II of course if i change SetRField(LNewObj, ElevRec, ElevFld, Num2StrF(y1 - y3)); to SetRField(LNewObj, ElevRec, ElevFld, Num2StrF(y1 - (-y3))); it also works, but why do i have this ??? thx

hello MullinRJ you got me, i am allways trying to take a longer step then my leg . . . but i get entusiastic and try to do stuff that i find possible. I will have to start and learn basics first. I think that this problem is because when i was in school it was easy for me to learn how to program in C for example but i had teachers . . now it has passed 10 years since i still guessing that it is easier than those days lol (by the way i dont remember how to programin c anymore lol) Ok i will have a look at that more calmly.. Thx for your patience, and Pat's too regards

Hello Pat, Thx i have now joined the general vectorscript mailing group. Now, a very basic question: i was trying to adapt your last post to make an worksheet that listed all the spaces present in the layer. It gives me error, but i used the criteria from vectorworks criteria. like this: WS := CreateWS('test',2,2); LName := GetLName(ActLayer); DBCrit := Concat('=DATABASE((R IN ['Space']))'); SetWSCellFormula(WS,1,1,1,1,LName); SetWSCellFormula(WS,2,0,2,0,DBCrit); SetWSCellFormula(WS,2,1,2,1,'=(Space.Name)'); SetWSCellFormula(WS,2,2,2,2,'=(Space.Area)'); what am i doing wrong ? thx in advanced

Hey pat thx thats pretty cool stuff, i will try to dismistify that . . where can i join the Vectorscript mail list ? Thx

Back once again i am not finding the thing i wanna. Can this be done: 1) somehow change data globaly, lets say if i had to increase or decrease my terrain 0,5m , now i have to edit individually each symbol. Can this be done selecting all the elevation markers, or by an worksheet, or something else ? 2) Add a menu so i can change class name? 3) Can we create an 2d locus (with a name if possible) so that the next time i do not have to make the origin point? 4) or even if possible use that 2d locus for changing global data as refered in point 1) ? can any of this be possible ? thx

hey MullinRJ, yes i wanna get fancier THX VERY VERY MUCH nice work Now i am trying to change it a bit because i wanna him to do something else. L8ter if i achieved or not i will post here. TTHHXXX again Regards

Hello again pat Thx, as i am trying to learn to script and i find very hard to find information for someone who is allmost a complete outsider i tend to try and do stuff like this. Thx anyway for your information i will return to my worksheet's

Thx

by the way how can i nake an symbol insted of group; ? thx

hello MullinRJ again, never mind, i am trying to do 1000things at the same time... my script allready does the point 2 . . . Thx again very much
