More Scripts or something like it

[mfundo]

i need to learn to write scripts quickly. Where should I start?

[Gerrit]

There's the academic way : study the manuals from your Help system (VectorScript Language Guide and Function Reference) --

Or the experimental way : download some open codes from places, test their behaviour, learn from what you see as you go along, and customize them --

and as always, the truth lies in between ;-)

Here's a few places :

http://www.vectordepot.com/

http://www.vectorbits.com/VectorBits/home.html

http://www.panzercad.com/

Sorry to those I left out. Surely others will fill in more.

Archoncad has a very good download vectorscript guide. But it does cost.

Its quite basic, but does teach you how the different type of scripts differ from each other so you can decide how to implement your script or command.

If you have no programming background, it also goes into how best to structure your script.

But it doesn't teach you the functions available or go into much detail about the syntax but it does give some good listings to learn from.

Unfortunately i'm having problems at the moment accessing the web site, but you can go to www.archoncad.co.nz and I think you will find it under the download manuals.
