Creating A Circle in VectorScript

[Nicholas P Kelly]

My apologies for what is probably a very obvious question but I have gone through the docs I have and cannot find the commands available to create a circle in VectorScript.

I am using VW Architect 12.5

Any help much appreciated,

Nick

Hi Nick,

The Oval procedure creates a circle if you set the width and height equal. It is simpler to use but has less control than the newer OvalN procedure. The Oval procedure still works in 12 and all later Vectorworks versions.

hth,

Thank you Frank,

Are there some docs available that I can refer to for the parameters requires by the Oval procedure? Like the Java API docs for Java.

Thank you,

Nick

Go to the Vectorworks Help. Select Additional Documentation in the left column then VectorScript Function Reference in the right column.

There is also an on-line version available at

http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php?title=VS:Function_Reference

Also, don't forget to read the VectorScript Language Guide for basic information on the Pascal like nature of the language. It is in the left column of the Vectorworks Help.

Thank you both very much, greatly appreciated.

Back to the original question...

In VW a circle is actually a 360-deg arc. In addition to the oval option, consult the above resources for ArcByCenter.
