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.

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?

French version Updated! :)

Alt + 0216 = Ø ;)

When I draw something on a surface in the 3D view
dimension Text, arraws are not parallal to this surface!
I must draw inside the View Face!

Hi Max,

You can do that by making a pass through those objects before using the pointpicker, and turn off the "hit test" flag on each of those objects using: obj.setHitTest( false );

If an object is set with the "no hit test" flag, it should cause the pointpicker to skip over it and not target any snaps on it, and also it won't be targeted for selection either. Then if you want it to behave normally later on afterwards you'll need to set obj.setHitTest( true ); on those same objects to reset it.

If you do not have the objects already separated out somehow, you can find the style index of the "Dimensions" style by using:

var style = moi.geometryDatabase.findStyle( 'Dimensions', false /*CreateIfNotFound*/ );
if ( style )
{
    var index = style.index;

     // Now look for objects that have obj.styleIndex == index
}

Hope that does what you need!

Thank you Frenchy ..

Hi Max,

arrow type is nice feature.

...as Frenchy imply, it would be very useful to have two additional checkboxes (same as Unit) "prefix" and "suffix" with text field for pasting symbols or additional text in front and behind of dimensions.

... and Arc drawing with angle value would be absolutely fantastic :-)

Excellent job, thank you.

Mik

A well made script. Quite useful while we wait for a proper dimension element.

:)

Someone ask text before the dimension, also text in replacement of the dimension! (here text is after)

You can make that but...

Michael
>obj.setHitTest( false );
Yes! That's exactly what I needed. Thank you! :)

Mik
>it would be very useful to have two additional checkboxes (same as Unit) "prefix" and "suffix"
I've made some changes in the new version ;)

v0.6
Snapping disabled for dimension lines (now script works exacly as planned)
Added more hidden features:
Prefix can be setted by using split symbol | in the units field. Example: R|mm -> R 15.1 mm

Pilou
>>Someone ask text before the dimension, also text in replacement of the dimension! (here text is after)
Special for you. :) Add * in the beginning. Example: *3/4 de pieds d'alouette!

Max, brilliant!! Thanks again for the tweaks to the already awesome! script.
Cheers.

Hi Max,

it works perfectly.



Many thanks!

Mik

@Max

Michael,

Thank you for putting this on your V4 list. Probably not the most fun thing to work on but but man will it put a spin on MOI.

Terry

Great tool !
many thanks Max !

Hi Max,

I allowed myself to add new arrow type 4, which can be useful for various description in drafts.



Kind regards,

Mik

Neat add!
