I have not the "little Lines" of extremities!
Must I draw them separately ?
And alas we can't use the Helpers lines for align because of the second click ! :)
Seems Scale inactive! ?

Hi Pilou:
> I have not the "little Lines" of extremities!
Me neither.

> Must I draw them separately ?
I guess so. Max?

> And alas we can't use the Helpers lines for align because of the second click !
Any helper lines can be created immediately after starting script but before first click defining location of dimension arrow head #1.

> Seems Scale inactive! ?
It's activated after 'first click' for arrowhead #1.

Cheers,
Hamish

<< but before first click defining location of dimension arrow head #1.
Ahhh yes! Different than the normal use of a script!
So cool!


<< It's activated after 'first click' for arrowhead #1.
Ahhhh yes! Funny use! So very cool! :)

Showing my ignorance about scripts ..

How do I install this script and use it ?

Cheers, and thanks,

HI eric (ERICCLOUGH)

first time
You need to copy the two files in the commands folder of MOI

second time
you need to add the shortcut keys and the command :
_dimensions

Thanks Christian,

Script update. Fixed few bugs. Changed internal structure. Script modifications should be easier.

>> Must I draw them separately ?
Yes, you should draw them manually.

>>And alas we can't use the Helpers lines for align because of the second click ! :)
You can use LockConstructionLine script

var cln =0, gd = moi.geometryDatabase, cl = gd.getObjects().getConstructionLines(), cll = cl.length; 
for (var i=0; i<cll; i++) if (!cl.item(i).isTemporary) cln++; if (cln == cll) { gd.removeObjects(cl) } else { cl.setProperty( "isTemporary", false ) }

Bind it to key. Draw construction lines. Run script (the lines will be locked). Run script again to delete the lines.

Max, that's fine!
This is what the Bolsheviks were dreaming! ))))
I download and run the testing. Thank you very much!
You are, as always, is a genius!

Forget to say about hidden features.

Double click title to load default values
Double click "Scale" to reset scale.

---

All day a nice surprise! :)

---

Beautiful script, Max!

as usual... :-)

Thanks for sharing.

Mik

Thanks a lot, Max. Its quite usefull.

Hi Max ..

Does this insert into the original script and if so, where?

Or does it replace all or part of it?

thanks,
eric

---

Maybe like this
Just put it inside the Right Columm of a new ShortCut
but write "script:" on the beginning of the line!
So
script:var cln =0, gd = moi.geometryDatabase, cl = gd.getObjects().getConstructionLines(), cll = cl.length;
for (var i=0; i<cll; i++) if (!cl.item(i).isTemporary) cln++; if (cln == cll) { gd.removeObjects(cl) } else { cl.setProperty( "isTemporary", false ) }

Launch the Dimension Script
Call the script of persistant lines
Draw your helper lines
Draw your Dimension
Draw your helper lines
Draw your Dimension
etc
ps I have no more the Button OK that is normal ?

---

Great job Max, thanks for making this available!

Added new arrow types.
The type can be switched dynamicaly by pressing "1", "2", "3" keyboard keys.

Yes, it's normal.

No, it's a separate script, which can be useful with Dimensions script.
As Pilou said above, you can bind it to keyboard button.

Michael
Thank you :)
Could you help me? I have problem with pointpicker snapping. Is there a way to exclude all objects with "Dimensions" style from the object snapping list?
