DoMenuTextByName

[ericl]

I have several vectorscripts that run when I change views, mostly so that when I go into a section/elevation/back to plan all of my 3d layers align themselves. For example:

DoMenuTextByName('Standard Views',4);

DoMenuTextByName('Align Layer Views',0);

Until I started using 2008, this worked fine. Now I get a vectorscript error:

Error: no name DOMENUTEXTBYNAME - Menu cannot be found. Align Layer Views

I can't figure out what's wrong with the script, if anything. Has something been added in 2008 that makes this easier so maybe I don't have to bother with vectorscript at all?

Align Layer Views has been moved to a vwplugin file in VW2008.

Apparently you are supposed to use the file name with DoMenuTextByName, but I can't get it to work.

Robert, Charles, can either of you shed some light on how to use DoMenuTextByName with vwplugin and vwlibrary files?

If it helps, the previous version I was using in which it worked was 11.5. A friend of mine who uses the same script told me it stopped working in one of the 12.5 updates.

Try:

DoMenuTextByName('AlignLayerViews',0);

Like VectorScript plug-ins, use the filename.
