Hi,

Something strange.
I made a group, perhaps 2 groups then redo a group with pieces of group.
When I select All (ctrl+A) my group is gray, the browser says the group is selected and if I go hover the objects with the mouse, they change to yellow at this time.

I will post the file for your research.

here the file…

Hi Phiro, thanks for the file! I can repeat it over here.

It looks like a display update bug in Select All.

It should be easy to fix but since it's not too severe I'll wait for a little bit to batch up any other group bugs that pop up.

You're right. It's not a big problem…
No need to have a patch yet.



import/export SVG file.
Very good idea to have this possibility.
I export a square (from MoI) 10x10 mm (on floor plane centered at origin) into SVG.
When I import it, it's not at same place. Strange but understandable.
But the dimensions are 10x3,05 mm. More a problem.
I open this file with MsEdge. it seems to be a perfect square.
If I open it with a notepad, the definition is a polygon which describe a square with the right proportionnality.
I think the problem is in import SVG function.

Hi Phiro,

re:

What options are you setting during the export from MoI?

If you set Scale: Preserve units (not "Fit to page") and have "Center on page" turned off then if you import the SVG back into MoI it should be in the exact same location:

Hello Michael,
Congratulations on the new beta version. Looks very good so far ...

The grouping feature is very useful for already existing objects.
But how can I move a newly drawn object into an existing group?
-moritz

Addendum - I found the logic:

1. draw new object
2. assign name (if needed)
3. click on group to which the object should be moved.
4. done

Simple but effective

Hi moritz,

re:
> But how can I move a newly drawn object into an existing group?

Select the object, then click on the name label of the group (the text where it will say "Group01" for example) and it will assign the object to that group.



- Michael

If you click on the name label of a named object it will assign that name to your current selection and if you click on the name label of a group it will put it into that group.

Hi Michael,

Here the parameters...






The difference... A4 format


With Letter, the place is 0K, propotions OK but size is 28.35 x 28.35

Hi Phiro,

re:
> The difference... A4 format

It's working fine for me over here when using A4 format as well.

What unit system do you have set in MoI ? (Options > General > Unit system)

Hi Michael,

On V5 Beta:

This DXF file is imported.

The 'ReconstructCurve' script is run and the V5 beta program closes without warning.

It works okay on V4.

Hi Michael,

The following scripts do not work in v5. v5 closes.
RadialPattern
Gear
Gear2
SpurGearProfile
Cloth
BlendCap (For a simple extruded circle (cylinder).

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for reporting this - it's an object refcount bug in some new group processing code in the array curve factory. It doesn't get triggered with the regular use of array curve, the circumstances to trigger it are when a script is using it, when there are "loose" objects used in intermediate stages of geometry processing that are not in the geometry database.

I've got it fixed up for the next release. I'll collect up a few more bugs to fix before putting out a new release.

Thanks,
- Michael

It's probably from the same array bug that's messing up ReconstructCurve too.

Can you please .zip up these scripts and e-mail them to me at moi@moi3d.com ? It would be good if I could make sure I'm using the exact same versions to test.

Thanks! - Michael

Hi Michael,
Zip of 9 files sent, including _ArcToCircle, _CCC, _cMorph, _FatLines.

A bunch of other scripts Do work properly in V5Beta Apr-9-2022

groups gone mental..
sorry, i dunno how to embed a video. img is just a screenshot..

Hi Marco, thanks for the video link, I can repeat that over here.

It looks something like the group structure is getting into some kind of circular self referencing state.

The fix will be that it should just do nothing when you click on the same item where the selected objects are already at.

Hi Phiro,

re: Ctrl+A / select all not highlighting group - I just rolled out a new Apr-10 version and I think this should be fixed now. Please let me know if it works ok for you now.

Thanks, - Michael

@ Wayne,

@ Brian,

Should hopefully be fixed in new Apr-10 version I just put up.

Thanks, - Michael
