j.christ Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I am wanting a simple script that I can alter the line length of a symbol via the OIP. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Tell us more. This could be simple or it could be very difficult. Symbols are static. Every instance of a symbol looks the same. If that is what you want, then is should be fairly easy to edit the symbol and Name the line you want changed. Then you can use the name to get a handle and use the handle to make the changes. If you want to be able to modify a single instance of the symbol, then what you really want is a Plug-in Object. Depending on how complicated the object is, this could be easy or hard, especially if you decide you need more than a single line to change. Tell us more. Maybe send pictures. Quote Link to comment
j.christ Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I would like to alter each individual symbols length, so I presume a plug-in object is best for this. There would be text attached to the symbol also. I would like to enter the text for each symbol individually also. e.g. a braced wall element requires... length '1200' with a 15 character text explaining what the element is...'A1/TFT/2.4' I know there are a few brace object tools available with built in databases etc, but none are customizable.

Pat Stanford Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yes, you need a PIO to be able to change both things easily. I have no idea what a brace element is though or what it should look like. Quote Link to comment
