I use the new autosize line script to dimension all the time – very convenient. I added a fourth userinput so that you can specify units if wished (mm, ", ft etc) – don't often do this but a drawing came up where I needed to!
Code: Select all
Add_String(Format(s_l, userinput3) + userinput4, (Firstx + Lastx) / 2, (Firsty + Lasty) / 2 + s_t / 2, s_t, 1, False, False, False, 7, 0, userinput1, False, True, 0, 100, 100)
The script seems quite happy if userinput4 is empty (my default) – I'm assuming real basic is forgiving like this?
It's also very useful as a direct measuring tool while you are drawing and want to keep in mind distances between objects etc.
Like it a lot!
It would be nice if, from within a script, one had control over the window size and OK button location, so that a smaller window opened if required. The current window takes up a lot of space on the screen, though of course it disappears once you action the script, so it doesn't really matter. It would also be very good if the red "close" button was active – so that then when you hit a script by mistake (not uncommon!) you don't have to go through with it – just close the window again.
