Dimensions

GREAT!!!

Thanks Peter

I have another question.

I'm always going to class visibilities picking all the classes and then making them visible. I do this because I always seem to insert something into classes that are invisible. I tried the script automation and failed. Any Ideas?

Which scrpit? Something you wrote?

[John Windswept Design]

No not me. Is there not a way of creating a script for a series of commands

re: pick all the classes and then making them visible.

I've done this using Saved Views. You can set Layer & Class properties and save them as a View. When you return to a Saved View the stored Layer & Class properties are restored.

As metioned in another thread, these functions should be part of the Layer & Class dialogue boxes.

I'm a little confused with dimension class. If I imput a dimension and it automatically goes on dimension class should it not also take on the line wieghts and color of the dimension class. Mine seems to take on the character of my attribute palette. How can I have my dimensions always come out STD?

Also is there a way to change the line wieght of the dimension line extensions? Mine doesn't seem to change.

Also I can't seem to find a toggle to automatically keep my precision to 1/2". I after I input my dimension I can change it but I would like them never to show 1/8" inch.

John,

1) Open the CLASS dialog and double click on the dim's class. Check to make sure that "use at creation" is selected. If not, your dim's (and any other class for that matter) will take on whatever you have set as the default at the time.

2)(I think this is what you meant) Go FILE>PREFERENCES>DOCUMENT PREFERENCES and click on the DIM"S tab. You can change the slash weight here.

3) Go to PAGE>UNITS... Here you will find three items in the scroll down, each of which can be user set.

Hope that helps :-)

Try this...

Procedure DeActivateClass;

VAR

x, y: Real;

h: Handle;

active, Name:STRING;

message :integer;

Result:BOOLEAN;

BEGIN

repeat

begin

active:=Activeclass;

GetPt(x,y);

h:=PickObject(x,y);

setSelect(h);

if h<>nil then begin

Name:=GetClass(h);

if (GetClass(h)=active) then

SysBeep;

if (GetClass(h)<>active) then begin

HideClass(Name);

end;

setDSelect(h);

end;

end;

ReDraw;

until h=nil;

END;

Run(DeActivateClass);

To run this just create a txt file and put the data in then run vectorscript?

What exactly does this dooo?

That is a basic classes controlling script.

Just modify it a bit to suit your need.
