Greetings all, I'm trying to wrap my head around, showing an image in dialogue. I see this function call: def vs.CreateImageControl2(dialogID, controlID, widthInPixels, heightInPixels, imageSpecifier): return None ..but can't get it to work. The issue is with the 'imageSpecifier' parameter. Looking at other posts, https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/topic/41757-2014-script-will-not-run-in-2015/&do=findComment&comment=209508 @klinzey instructed the use of a folder named _some_name.vwr, with your image in there, and use that path for the imageSpecifier. However, what if you want your image structured down the folder channel the same way your plugins are structured. Eg AppData |-- Roaming |---- Nemetscheck |------ Vectorworks |-------- 2016 |---------- Plugins |------------ TuiPlugins |-------------- PluginImages |----------------| rectange.png |-------------- Rectangle.vso full_image_path = "TuiPlugins\PluginImages\rectangle.png" def CreateDialog(): -- vs.CreateResizableLayout(etc,etc..) -- vs.CreatePullDownMenu(etc,etc..) -- vs.CreateEditText(etc,etc..) -- vs.CreateImageControl2(dialog, k_image , 200, 200, "{}".format(full_image_path)) can this be done? Or does the folder have to have the .vwr characters appended to it? And can the location of this *.vwr folder be placed further down? Hope this makes sense

Hi, I need some help with custom plug-ins. I created a custom plug-in with a custom point object. It seems to work fine Now I need to create a command that will be executed from a menu that invokes the tool to place the custom point object in the document. I've been looking around but I don't seem to find how to do it. My questions are How to invoke the tool for the custom point object from the command script How to set up the parameters for the custom tool (Height, Width, etc.) for the new object I'm about to create Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have just downloaded VW2017 with a student licence, having previously used v2013. When I attempted to select 'file' and 'batch print', I am met with 'Batch Print not in Plugins Folder' where 'Batch Print' should be. The option to 'Publish', which I'm led to believe is the new way of doing things also doesn't exist. Is there a plugin I require that I was unaware of? I haven't found any other posts on the forum dealing with this same issue. Thanks for any help offered.
