dimension

[marc wittwer]

hi nna,

could you tell me, why the following script don't show me the text size of the dimension. where is my "error". or is it a bug in the call? thanks for your answer!

the script:

Procedure VariableLesen;

?

CONST

?Selector = 17;

?

VAR

?OldFSize:Integer;

?FirstSelHd : Handle;

?

BEGIN

?

FirstSelHd := FSActLayer;

OldFSize := GetObjectVariableInt(FirstSelHd, Selector);

Message (OldFSize);

?

END;

?

RUN(VariableLesen);

There is a problem with GetObjectVariableInt(17) which will be addressed in a future version of VectorWorks.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

hi jeff,

thanks for your answer. if the script is written with "GetObjectVariableReal" then the result ist "correct". the result must be multiply with 0.0567 to have the textdimension in points. do you know why it must multiply with this digit?

another question: could it be possible, that "SetObjectVariableReal" is shown in a messeagedialog on the screen?

thanks for this great tech board!

greetings, marc

here's the script:

Procedure VariableLesen;

?

CONST

?Selector = 17;

?

VAR

?OldFSize:Real;

?FirstSelHd : Handle;

?

BEGIN

?

FirstSelHd := FSActLayer;

OldFSize := GetObjectVariableReal(FirstSelHd, Selector);

Message (OldFSize);

?

END;

?

RUN(VariableLesen);
