Pat Stanford 1,425 Posted May 29, 2008 To write a plug-in, you use the VectorScript Plug-in Editor. In the standard workspaces, this is in the Tools:Scripts menu. It is often easier to start with a VectorScript and then after it is basically working convert it to a PIO. You can create a new VectorScript through the Resource Browser. Or an I misunderstanding your question? Pat Quote Share this post Link to post

rikhardo 0 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) ok that's a start... you say that VectorScript Plug-in Editor Is in the Tools:Scripts menu. i dont have it ... at this moment my version of vw is only trial? i need to have a non-trial version to access vectorScripts? i have vw2008... btw: i havent write in english for a long time, for that sorry my mistakes...

Pat Stanford 1,425 Posted May 30, 2008 You should be able to do VS with the trial version. Set your Workspace to Designer and see if you don't have a Scripts submenu in the Tools menu item. Pat Quote Share this post Link to post
rikhardo 0 Posted June 2, 2008 thanks i found it by the way what is the name of the language for the scripts?? Quote Share this post Link to post
Pat Stanford 1,425 Posted June 3, 2008 The VectorWorks scripting language is called VectorScript. It used to be called MiniPascal and it is still very much based on the Pascal language. Pat Quote Share this post Link to post
foxterrier 0 Posted January 27, 2009 hello, yes i too need to start ! I had a tentative go with a script that rotates hatches. That was adapting one that someone gave me. There's a few scripts I'm interested in particularly class mapping but here I'd like to know if it is possible to 'custom select' text by font size? I have a load of autocad nonsense where lots of text at different scales got merged in one class (using the class mapping tool) also, is there a fix for mirrored text exported to autocad yet. No other single glitch garuntess no end of tut tutting from the other crowd, just t make you feel VW is for kids. gratefully, in advance Quote Share this post Link to post
Ray Libby 1 Posted January 27, 2009 You can select text boxes by font size with Custom Selection... You can also make a script by checking Create Script in the first dialog box. It would help to know your version of Vectorworks. Create a signature with that info and computer specs. Quote Share this post Link to post
Ray Libby 1 Posted September 4, 2009 I don't have VW12 but in VW2009 Tools menu>Custom Selection... In the first dialog box you have the option to Execute Immediately or Create Script. Quote Share this post Link to post
