Hi Michael,

Thanks for continuously developing Moi!

Perhaps I've found a bug, If I use this script - script: /* Toggle browser pane on/off */ moi.ui.showBrowserPane = !moi.ui.showBrowserPane; or this- script: /* Toggle between opposite and inline browser modes */ moi.ui.browserPosition = (moi.ui.browserPosition == 'Inside' ? 'Opposite' : 'Inside');

and press the hotkey several times Moi freezes completely.

Hi Michael and thanks for this new update.

I've seen that there are a bunch of things that didn't work properly with the update you posted, something that you already fixed (if I'm not wrong)

Could you please upload a NEW fixed update with all the corrected stuff already packed into?

In this way is much more easy for us to pick the right version without the need to scroll all the posts to find errors and fixes.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Marco,

Are you talking about Scripts.menu.htm and ScriptsFull.menu.htm above?

I don't know about any bunch of things wrong with them, Pilou posted about a problem with the columns here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9942.26 and the files I posted are just for solving that problem.

Sorry no I can't - it's part of Max's CustomUI package. The main version for it is on his file archive page which belongs to him, I don't have any way to change it.

It definitely sounds like a bug, thanks for reporting it.

What operating system are you running on?

- Michael

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1903 64 bit

Thanks!

Hi Michael.

"Are you talking about Scripts.menu.htm and ScriptsFull.menu.htm above?"

Yes

"I don't know about any bunch of things wrong with them"

Ok

"Sorry no I can't - it's part of Max's CustomUI package."

Ok.

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

It seems I can no longer export to pdf and have a usable template with this latest beta. When I choose Center Object it appears truncated in the upper RH corner of the page. It may be user error but I have had great success with this feature in the past.

I've included the file and pdf for you when you get a chance to look at it.

In case anyone wood carves and is curious the end project looks like so:

Best regards,
David W.

The 3dm Exports to PDF fine for me, with Top View, and Fit to page.
Do not have a Center Object option...

- Brian

Hi Brian, the "Center on page" option will appear if you set Scale: "Preserve units" instead of Scale: "Fit to page".

@David - I think I broke that with some recent fiddling with PDF output as part of the work for exporting dimensions to PDF. Can you please send me an e-mail (moi@moi3d.com) and I'll send you a test build for a fix?

Thanks, - Michael

Hi Michael,

only for information.

I've registrated same issue as David reported with exporting geometry (without dimensions layer) to PDF - Preserve unit - center on page .
"Fit to page" option seems to work fine.

I've registrated some issues with AI export, Affinity designer doesn't see geometry at all, but as you mentioned PDF/AI export are still in progress.

Mik

Hi Mik, so Affinity Designer not seeing the AI export is a limitation in Affinity. It doesn't support the older version 8 AI files that MoI writes out.

Affinity Designer only supports the newer AI type file and only then if it was saved out from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create Compatible PDF File" option enabled in Adobe Illustrator's export options. When that is enabled, then the new AI file type is actually a PDF file and then Affinity just reads the PDF content from it.

MoI only exports the old AI version 8 file type because that's the only one that has been documented by Adobe. They have not documented how Adobe Illustrator stores illustrator-specific information in private data inside the PDF structure for the newer AI file type.

So since Affinity does not support the older AI v8 format and MoI only exports AI v8 format, that means that you need to use PDF format for transfer from MoI into Affinity Designer and not AI format.

For the "Preserve units" + "Center on page" bug, if you can send me an e-mail at moi@moi3d.com, I'll send you a test version to test a fix for that.

Thanks,
- Michael

Affinity works fine with PDF import from Moi ;)

Needed to indicate direction of rotation.
Didn't find a suitable arrow in the DIMs section.
Am I mistaken? Otherwise, might it be useful to add some arrows?

Nothing Special...


You have all variations of Arrows in the General Options / Dimension! ;)
(Bottom Right Line)

Thanks Michael, email on it's way :)

Hi Michael,

I'm new to this forum, because I never had any problems. But I have lots of issues since the september beta which didn't occur using the januari version.
Here is a list that I have encountered so far. I'm working on a Macbook Pro 10.11.6

- Rebuild: returns a script error
- Array/Grid: returns a script error
- Network: : returns a script error
- Sweep: places copies on top of each other. Sometimes 7, sometimes 9 copies.


What is happening?

Reggy

Thank you Pilou,

I was interested in an arrow that is NOT in the context of a dimension.
For instance, on the angular dimension... one can blank out the text, but still I don't see how how to suppress one of the arrow heads nor the dim lines.
Sometimes, one might want just a single headed arrow.

Perhaps I am missing the conclusion...?


BTW, thanks for all that you contribute on the forum.

For the moment you can only change by the Detail Button (Up right page corner )
but not that you want...

For that you want use the Dimension by Max Smirnov
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7403.133

You will can Separate anything! (that you can't do now with the native Dimension that you have used)
So erase Start, End arrows etc...

So can the option for a null arrowhead be added by Michael, in addition to options for e.g. a barb or dot or open arrowhead...?
Either or both arrowheads being null?

Add option to dimAngle factory for not displayiing angle numbers?

New question: The result of the dimAngle looks line a drawn archery bow, with the string being two lines. Are the two lines needed,
or can there be an option to not show the two lines?

- Brian

The drawn bow seems to be one object, some type of object. It cannot be separated? Nor portions deleted?

You can draw arrow call outs "leader" with the dimension tool and leave the text "blank"
[AFTER you draw the leader arrow and the text box appears just CLICK OK].
I used this earlier to label a tiny rebate that was less than 2mm to draw attention to the
Design detail for a fabricator..

Tip:
1. Try/consider using LEADER arrow and "abc" text separately. It seems really flexible!
You can also put more points than needed on the arrow part then later "show points"
to give even more flexibility on the arrow direction and placement.

UPDATE:
2. Create presets for different arrow types.
>> Options/Dimensions/Property Presets & "ADD"
Focus on the arrow section..and "ADD" preset.

Then when you draw leader arrows and RIGHT CLICK you can see the presets
and swap them about at a click.

I'm not sure this is it's full intended use but it's rather flexible. If you leave text
out and have extra control points shown then the 'arrow' is effectively totally separate
(and sizeable or pivotable in lots of directions). Text can be added at any time
through 'leader details' or via separate "abc" text tool.
