DaveF Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi All I'm new to Vscript. using Vectorworks v9.5.2 I wish to add to the revision cloud routine so that it always draws the cloud on a specific class. Unfortunately it appears locked. Is there a way to unlock it for editing or is there another way of doing this? [ 04-15-2003, 07:13 AM: Message edited by: DaveF ] Quote Link to comment
justin1974 Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 VW protects their scripts- they lock them. so no there is no way alter existing scripts. Quote Link to comment
matto Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 you can look at it like the wall styles tool in VWA. create a Tool that in theory should only need to 1.get current active class 2.sets the active class 3.call tool ( what ever the number is for the cloud tool) . 4.resets to orginal active class then give a simlar looking icon and put in the palette in place of the orginal. well in theory anyway Quote Link to comment
DaveF Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 Thanks for replying. >3.call tool ( what ever the number is for the >cloud tool) . How do I do that? [ 04-16-2003, 04:29 AM: Message edited by: DaveF ] Quote Link to comment
matto Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 CallTool(toolID:INTEGER); makes the tool active then when the user is finished returns to your tool toolID can be found in the VS reference except just checked and there isn't one listed for the cloud tool. but the idea still work if you can find a tool ID number. sorry for the misdirection Quote Link to comment
Fuge Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 You won't be able to use CallTool on the Revision Cloud tool because it's a Plug-in not a core tool. Your only real solution is to write your own Revision Cloud tool script for what you want to do. Dave Quote Link to comment
