@Kramerica, What Husky exploit is the multi-line paste for a tool. https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=7017&p=26924#p26925 Here 'RE' or a Rectangle from 2 points. Followed by 2 references each rectangle. References of opposite corners in your native format. Without influence on the persistent t...

Hi Kramerica,
I posted the script in the QCAD Developers and Contributors Forum:
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=8135

Kind regards,
CVH

Based on the same basic principle as these: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=7497 https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=7544 And posted especially for Kramerica: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8116 Installation: Close QCAD Create a new folder ...QCAD\scripts\Misc\Exampl...

Don't worry,
I have my script almost ready and back in basic form.
Point, Line, Arc, Circle, Triangle, Quad, Square and Rectangle are included.

Give me a few hours to post it.
I'll keep you informed ....

Regards,
CVH

A problem that I'm encountering is that the PolyLineFromSelection object needs to be "initialized" by manually using it once from the toolbar or menu item before it is available to the script That looks like an 'include' flaw ... :!: I'm still in the struggling stage with the framework because docu...

Hi, With scripting almost anything is possible ... :wink: In my case it would be easy because it is a snippet of code I already use. There are two things missing in your definition. The where and the angle . That would look like: "Rectangle", OffsetX, OffsetY, SizeX, SizeY, Angle (Closed polyline) O...

Then NOT force new: op.addObject(newTextEntity, false, false); // NOTuseCurrentAttributes, NOTforceNew My bad (copy-paste issue) :oops: Now you alter the text directly in the RTextEntity. No need for the getData or to create a new RTextEntity. That is, if this is all you need to do ... RModifyObject...

Hi, that is more than one question. :wink: RTextEntity has also the getPlainText() method. Common is var ids from ' ID selected ' or ' more ID's ' but it is at your preference. RTextEntity is a pointer to a clone of the actual entity. https://qcad.org/doc/qcad/3.0/developer/class_r_document.html#ab0...

Still, plausible ... in limited cases. - IF P1 and the start orientation is known. - IF P2 is selected. Then there might be an arc with given start orientation and sweep angle that fits the demand. The radius is the variable here. This is if P2 is 'beyond the line' and on a line with the orientation...

Code: Select all

var a = doc.queryEntity(9145);

Loads variable 'a' with an REntityPointer to the entity in the document by current id = 9145.

Then one check if variable 'a' is a text entity: CVH

var document = this.getDocument(); // Reference to current document var ids = document.querySelectedEntities(); // Qset with selected id's var entity; // Entity in process (EntityPointer) Skip on no Selection: if (ids.length == 0) { // // ..... // return; } // Find Type: Text Entity for (i=0; i<ids...

@ petevick: Thanks :wink: It can certainly apply the curved examples you show, maybe not exactly the same. Have a play, it's extremely clever. @ VSteele: Correct, Curves = RevisionCloud_L painter, Curves2 = RevisionCloud_LM painter Both as continuous polylines, both are fully scalable in drawing uni...

The first example is the Fago file.

Dimensions are set up in the Paper_Space.
Double-click Layout "1".

Second file - Plans Duplex:

Drawing Preference Size scale factor is 48x => dims are 48x larger.
For all the text @(0,0) I have no easy solution.

Could you explain how

Sure,
It is not a GUI action ...
... with a button.
(If you want that ... )

Make selection.
Open Script Shell (GE)
Copy all.
Paste.

Saved as a *.js file
Make selection.
Run Script (XC) ...

Hi John, Already a while QCAD doesn't explode circles to 1 full Arc but in two 2 semi full Arcs. A Polyline that is. Recently, explosion of circles is made optional in App.Prefs. Below you'll find a script for full Arcs to Circles: Regards. CVH // Full Arcs to Circles script by CVH var doc = getDocu...
