You don't know perversity of some geometric's maniacs! :D
So my version will be customized with funny thing max="14" (line 282) :D

And for Type 4 & 5 with CTRL seems we must make this! (THX Chri)
if ( arrowType.value == 4 || arrowType.value == 5 ) { f = moi.VectorMath.createPoint (c.x+dx, c.y+dy, c.z+dz ); fixedDist = round(R, 2); }

by

if ( arrowType.value == 4 || arrowType.value == 5 ) { f = moi.VectorMath.createPoint (c.x+dx, c.y+dy, c.z+dz ); fixedDist = round(R, decimals.value); }


Ps I don't know if all that work for Imperial ? Never used, too complex for me! :(

Yes. Missed one Round call. Fixed and uploaded.

""""""""So my version will be customized with funny thing max="14" (line 282) """""""""""""""

Mine is set to "15" and outputs 15....

I also set my default at 4 and wrote in to default with "units" checked and also to have "in" as the trailer.......

you right 15 seems the ultime limit :)

wow. that script is phantastic. thanks a lot!
that really will save me a lot of time.

the script is not working for me. I got the script error. The language is Finnish.

Hi JL82,

re:

From the error it looks like you are running MoI version 2, and I think the script requires MoI version 3 in order to run properly.

Yes, I have version 2.

Hello everybody.

The distance, the red arrow can be changed? Between the dimension line and digits?

Through editing files "_Dimensions.htm" or "_Dimensions.js"?

I am affraid not yet but just select and move it! ;)

Hi GonzoRus,

Yes it's possible to change that spacing by editing the _Dimensions.htm file.

Using the latest version Dimensions.v.1.0.2015.09.14.zip which you can get from here: http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/ , you would want to modify line #135 which sets the placement of the text.

135:     textframe.origin = frame.evaluate(textShift, (1-2*(angle>=180))*(lineWidth+textSize/3)/2, 0);

You would want to add something to the 2nd parameter to frame.evaluate(), like this for example (see the bold text for the + 1 that is added):

135:     textframe.origin = frame.evaluate(textShift, (1-2*(angle>=180))*(lineWidth+textSize/3)/2 + 1, 0);

Cool ! Will be added to the manual!

Done! http://moiscript.weebly.com/cotations.html :)

Hi guys :)

This +1 method doesn't work correct in some cases.
It will be better to use the following line:

textframe.origin = frame.evaluate(textShift, (1-2*(angle>=180))*(lineWidth+textSize/2)/2, 0);

or

textframe.origin = frame.evaluate(textShift, (1-2*(angle>=180))*(lineWidth+textSize/1)/2, 0);

or

textframe.origin = frame.evaluate(textShift, (1-2*(angle>=180))*(lineWidth+textSize*3)/2, 0);

Maybe input this on the Dimension Menu will be very fine! ;)

"Maybe input this on the Dimension Menu will be very fine! ;)"

YES!!! it would be amazing!

Changed line 135

textframe.origin = frame.evaluate(textShift, (1-2*(angle>=180))*(lineWidth+textSize/1)/2, 0);

The distance from the dimension line has increased.

BUT! The angles are displayed incorrectly.

Hi

Will the script work on Mac - and how?

Thanks :)

Hi Karl, yes the dimension script will work on the Mac version as well.

You can download the latest version of the script from Max's site here: http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/ the one you want is named Dimensions.v.1.0.2015.09.14.zip

Then for installation instructions please refer to FAQ #1, how do I install a plug-in script? .

- Michael

Hi All,

I have read this thread with some interest as it may be feasible for me to somehow export MoI3D files with dimensions. I also noticed that Michael had/have this as a potential part of a V4 release ...

To this end: Is there any news on whether or not this will be part of a V4 release - and if so when is the V4 release due?

Have a good day ;-)
