Python sample files

[RickR]

So far none of the Python samples are really working for me.

I installed the files exactly as directed at developer.vectorworks.net. (I'm new at this so I'm being very careful.)

• Menu command shows nonsense
  
• Point Objects both give script errors
  
• Path tool won't respond to the segment parameters
  
• Web image won't activate the URL (regular link tool works fine)
  

Seeing that many of the errors are path related I set paths for all the the new sub-directories. Now the ObjectPt2 gives very different errors. ObjectPt3 works fine, except that the total height doesn't change if you edit the arms and legs. Admittedly that's a fine point.

I must be missing something simple! You would think the samples would be pretty idiot proof.

Is there a true beginners guide?
