replace line: arrow = concat ( factory ('planarsrf', arrow), text);
with: arrow = concat (arrow, text);

Pilou wrote about this problem. It has been fixed.

<< Of course there will be degrees instead of cm.

And also i suppose any text you want? (with the help of "|" and "*") ;)

Pilou, yes.

Another little thing! :)

When you increase the line ( with your option Concat above) you can have some cool forms!

But the position of text is not following! (sure I can move it in a second but when you have 100 dimensions... ;)



Can we have an enter Box of distance text or similar ? (text can be inside or outside in this last case )

Cool but how it's work ? :)
I see a new Type 6 but...

Use Arrow type 6 and press the CTRL key whilst clicking on the corner point.


Martin.

Must be another thing because that dimension length not angle! ;)



Ah I have found! You must disable Units! :)



Ps Does it be possible to dimension a curve ?
(maybe in connexion with CurveLengthBeingDrawn ?
or CurveLength?

script: /* Show CurveLengthBeingDrawn */ try { moi.ui.commandUI.setInterval( 'var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getCurves(); var len = 0.0; if ( crvs.length > 0 ) { len = crvs.item(crvs.length-1).getLength(); } if ( !window["_crvdistlabel"] ) { document.body.insertAdjacentHTML( "beforeEnd", "" ); } _crvdistlabel.innerText = len.toFixed(4);', 250 ); } catch(e) {}

script:/* Calculate length of selected curves and copy to the clipboard as text */ var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getCurves(); var len = 0.0; for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i ) len += crvs.item(i).getLength(); moi.copyTextToClipboard( len );

Something like this but with the Arrowline following the curve! :)



French version! :) http://moiscript.weebly.com/cotations.html



Pss We can't dimension an arc circle >180° !

Great job Max, Thanks!

Hi Max,

angle measurements is excellent feature!

Thank you very much.

I've adjusted slightly the function of Arrow type 5. In new version the length of line is controlled by text length, see bellow please.

Old version:



New version:



I've increased the Scale value to 100 as well, because 40 was not sufficient for bigger models.

Thanks again for perfect script.

Hi Mik


About length of line...

Since version 0.9.2015.07.06 you need to use the new Mode (with CTRL) with arrows 4 and 5

please take a look at the post of Max ( 4 jul 2015 )

same thing with mode 6

clic on the picture below to see my example .

hi

Small change in the script _Dimensions.htm to increase decimal
( SUBSTITUTE 0 BY 2 IN THE SCRIPT )

clic on the picture below to see my example .

Chri

Hi Chri,

thank you for post.

Length of dimension line in my first version of Arrow type 5 was controlled by distance between "first click" and "second click". No problem with it when you use it for radius length which is larger than text length. The problem appears typically if Scale value is high and radius small, scale value 40 + radius 1 mm for instance, contrariwise with large radius (100 mm) the length of dimension line is 100 mm as well and it's uselessly long. Please see picture "Old version" in my previous post for example.

In new version you can use the maximal Scale value + minimal or large radius and the length of the line will be a bit longer than text length, exactly 2x longer than arrow length :)

Mik

Hi Mik,

unfortunatelly your last changes broke type 5 in the circular mode. I can't accept it. I think it will be better if you create a fork of my script using your identification instead of continuing version numeration of my script. For example: v.0.95mik.

hi MAX

Very great job !

What do you think about this new add :
by picking 3 points and use * comment , draw a comment on the last entitie of a broken line .

Chri

May be ...

text instead of code

While this is a very well written and useful script for now, I really hope there will be a real dimension element in the future, something that when exported in dxf can be recognized by other software (such as rhino or AutoCAD). This one is a really good idea about the approach it could have, I like the "what you see is what you get".

Hi wastzzz

I agree with you .
You can also note that actualy , measurement is also not interactive with drawing change ...
but this script of Max is already a magnificent improvement !

Best regards

And if you want an another Scale Cursor number ! ;)
From here http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7492.4

<< you can edit the .htm file and change the range values for the slider to make it permamently go between 0 and 20 or similar.

Open the file in a text editor and find the moi:Slider element in there, the ranges are set by the values min="" mid="" and max="" or similar.

If you set them to min="0.0" mid="100.0" max="20.0" then your slider will go between 0 and 20.

v.0.97

Select line/curve/edge and then run the script ;)
