Possibility to save data in memory

[white_sheep]

hello all,

I have some scripts where i need some settings (textstyle, size, ...) saved in a txt-file. So i need to open and read the text-file with every call of a script.

Now my question: Is it possible to read the settings once and put them in the memory, where I have access from every script during the VectorWorks-session?

thx and greets from switzerland

The simplist option would be to use an invisable record attached to an object in the drawing somewhere.

The other option is to make a symbol or group that you can put just out of the way of the drawing as the reference to the user of what each settings style does and attach the record to the named object that discribes the style.

Either way your other scripts can then search for the named object, then get the info out of the attached record.

If the scripts can be made into menu plug-ins then you can add parameters to retrieve and save data
