0 markdd Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) You can set that up as a Saved View which you could access from a Script Palette. If it were possible to access the script that is created by the saved view, then you could probably change that into a custom command which in turn you could add a keyboard shortcut to. There are other folk here that may be able to help you write a script that will do just.... I just remembered you can create a script using the Custom Tool attribute command. That will generate a script that you could edit and turn into a command. Edited July 14, 2021 by markdd 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It is actually a single line script NameClass('None'); Go to Tools:Plug-ins:Plug-in Manager. From the Custom Plug-ins pane click the New... button. Name the plug-in and make it a command. Click the Edit Script button Type or paste in the single line from above. Make sure to include the semicolon at the end. Click OK. You have now created your own Vectorworks command. Edit your workspace to add the command to a menu and add a keyboard shortcut. Ask again if you need more help. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

0 livespace josha Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 @Pat StanfordInquiring minds want to know....those other plugins you created: What do they do??? I'm really curious about "Sit, Stay, Good Dog!" I've done a saved view called "Whole Enchilada", which always puzzled people (and maxed out CPU/GPU resources). Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Sti, Stay, Good Dog! is a test I was working on. It has not made it past proof of concept. The idea was to create an object that if you moved it would always return to the original position. Sort of like Sheet Borders can always be centered on the sheet. You can select group of objects and move them and the Good Dog object will snap back to the original location. Parametric Arrow is just what it sounds like. Enter a bunch of parameters to define an arrow. Supposed to be similar to big arrows in something like Powerpoint. Again, it has not made it past proof of concept. Quote Link to comment

0 Pat Stanford Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Once you follow the steps above to create the Plug-in Menu command you need to edit your workspace and add the command to a menu. Unless you specifically put it in another category, it will be in the Miscellaneous category in the Workspace Editor. 1 Quote Link to comment
