Mickey Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Sorry for being lame here, but I've read on several threads about PIO in reference to palletes, and objects, but I'm not getting the connection. 1 Quote Link to comment

MullinRJ Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hi Mickey, PIO stands for Plug-In-Object. It refers to objects that have some intelligence built in, via scripting. Many of the Whiz-Bang objects that NNA supplies with the package are PIO's (like windows and doors, etc.). You can also develop your own, or use ones that have been developed by third parties. There are also a few flavors of PIOs. Menu Objects are scripts that are placed in the menu bar and can be invoked by hot-keys. Tool Objects enable the creation of new and more sophisticated tools that place and shape objects on the drawing, interactively or through the OIP (Object Info Palette, which is where object data is displayed in detail). There are also Path Objects which will draw custom details along a user defined path. If I've missed any, someone else will elaborate. HTH, Raymond Quote Link to comment
