    Sounds good. The draw step can be reversed or stopped by deleting the group the draw is writing to, but I don't have it enclosed in an operation. I can add that in. That's the only thing that really needs to be undone; I'm not really crazy about a single undo step rewriting the CNC environment variables and outputting the gcode to a file is a single step anyway that can't be reversed short of deleting the files from the filesystem.

    did you type it directly into 'Ruby Console' and is the session still open? if so, you can use the 'up arrow' to go back to it, otherwise it's a learning experience... EDIT: should have read the post in detail first, but I'll leave this up for others... if your on linux what editor did you write it in, most have history... john

    @tt_su said: @dan rathbun said: fail() #re-raise the last exception Never seen that method used before. Is that different from just calling raise? raise() is an alias for fail() See the doc on the Kernel module: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/Kernel.html#method-i-fail The best practices guides I have read, suggest that fail be used instead of raise, for readability, I suppose. But I really did not understand the logic in the guide. (I think it was something like "raise" has more meanings as a verb than "fail" ?)

    Thanks much Dan for the info. Looking back at by previous posts, I see that I never made it clear that the question is relative to a WebDialog associated with a plugin. Don't know if that matters but just so you know. Eureka I have found it. It was all a matter of where the onChange was. Because the onClick was part of each radio button statement, I assumed it was the same with the select list. Instead it just needed to be in the <select> statement itself. Thanks again to one and all for the links that put me on the right path to find the answer. def showme() @dlg=UI;;WebDialog.new("VerySimple", true,"Test",500,300,10,10,true) @dlg.set_html( "<html> <body> <form> <select onChange='tellSketchup(value)'> <option value='option1' >Option 1</option> <option value='option2' >Option 2</option> </select> ; Head Type<br><br> </form> <script type='text/javascript'> function tellSketchup(value) { window.location='skp;OptionChanged@'+value; } </script> </body> </html>" ) @dlg.show {} #show it @dlg.add_action_callback("OptionChanged") {|d,p| puts "OptionChanged value=#{p}" } end

    maybe I'm missing the point... @dlg.set_size(100,100) @dlg.set_position(100,100) @dlg.set_size(1000,1000) @dlg.set_position(100,100) can switch between 2 sizes at the same position... john

    EntitiesObserver Weirdness

    Hi Dan, Holding a reference does't make any difference. The only time the reference held by @m is actually stored is when the observer is assigned to Sketchup.active_model.entities. Also, I noticed that in cases where I have a new file, and I first add the observer to a group's entities collection, the observer does not alert onElementModified for the material. It only alerts for the face. Thanks, -- Karen

    This is what finally worked: def dowelHelp dowel_help_File = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),"K2_ToolsSupportFiles","k2ws_DowelHelp.html") UI.openURL("file;///#{dowel_help_File}") UI.messagebox("Dowel Help Complete " + dowel_help_File.to_s) end #def dowelHelp The html file was: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p> <img src="K2_ToolsDowelHelp.png" > </p> </body> </html> Thanks Keith

    Jim/Dan, Thanks for the reply. Adding material (and back_material) to grp works for me. Understanding why this happens is even better.

    I was hoping to do a POST because I will be updating a database with my real JSONP call. Unfortunately when I do a check on the php side I see that the call is turned into a GET. I agree that a timeout and an on error function is a good idea. My main question is will this work with OSX Lion. I was hoping that someone could try it out and tell me.

    How to fetch all material in SKP via Ruby?

    You can only access the Materials that are loaded into the Model. You can iterate the list and get various aspects of the material. Sketchup.active_model.materials.each{|material| puts material.name puts material.display_name puts material.color puts material.alpha puts material.texture ### and so on... puts } I have included the puts so the info is shown in the Ruby Console but of course you can do other things with that... A Material's '.display_name' is not always the same as the '.name' [depends on its creation/source] A Texture can also be further probed to get info like its image, size and so on... Read the API http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/classes.php If you must get details of SKM files not yet loaded [and not loadable using native API methods] then you could look at my SKMtools which offer many additional tools to import/export/interrogate SKM files etc... But please learn to walk before you run

    @tt_su said: That disappearing group (visually) sure looks like a bug. I'll file a bug internally (SU-29499). Meanwhile, the workaround is to specify scaling in X Y and Z explicitly. Ok, Thom. It is a small bug but it took me a long time to be assured it was not my code fault and try another way to do it.

    @dan rathbun said: I've already written a patch, and TIG has updated it twice. See: Re: Sketucation plugin load error Thank you! I use the patch,but there is still different. when sketchup install in drive c,and start with shortcut in desktop Encoding.find("locale") #<Encoding;GBK> when sketchup install in drive c,puts the patch file in tools folder,then start sketchup with shortcut in desktop Encoding.find("locale") #<Encoding;ASCII-8BIT> This different will lead some error if filename uesed some Chinese character. The patch file is still missing something？

    I think the new Dim methods do allow you to get the 'entity tree' for a Dim's two start/end. You can also specify them when adding a new Dim - start=/end=... Unfortunately Text does not have the equivalent linking possibilities for its arrowhead. There are many Text methods missing - these were discussed at length at last year's BaseCamp - as were Dims, but only a few got through...
