Perfect. Thanks, TIG.

@thomthom said: Well, you could make a custom Tools that did highlight groups/components with different bounding boxes... Naw... he wishes the boxes to be colored differently using ALL tools (especially the native tools.) But wouldn't it be interesting if class ComponentDefinition had a @boundingboxcolor attribute ?? We wouldn't be limited to only a few colors (enitity, image, group, component, model.) Components of different definitions could have different boundingbox colors! Another idea... take a Group or Components boundingbox color from it's layer color!

@prismcnd said: Unloaded all my plugins and traced it yo Z_loader for free scale.... back up and running normal. all files have been updated to latest version prior to this. I wish I could give more info but my computer expertise ends there. I usually fix my computer problems with a hammer. Permanently. but seriously, let me know if i can help in any way to track this down as it is very annoying FreeScale is the old version - the new version is now named FredoScale.

This can be done with a Dynamic Component also. Then the user of the component would not need to have SP installed to manipulate the door. Here is an example posted in the DC Forum: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=16332

Thanks guy's! I did a search and deleted it. Works fine now.

Thanks Didier. It's nice to read french, sometimes

Hi Martin, is VisMap v3 out? Where can I find it please? Thanks! Cheers, . Diego .

See my post ref your question ref Wood Worker fourm. Dave R will give you lots of help Good Luck

I gave another shot at the file and succeeded in making it work on any text string of 1, 2 or 3 characters.

It needs to have been made properly in the first place ?

Humm thats intersting ill try that ...

A quick read of the top few lines of the Plugins forum would help you out. Links to the plugins discussed here are given in a sticky thread, here.

Pilou's plugin works very nicely although I find I end up having to manually move components manually anyway because I need some parts moved farther than others depending upon the view. The plugin gives a good start, though. You might also find the Dashed Lines plugin to be useful for your exploded diagrams.

@guillermorage said: where can i download it?? how does it works?? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663 takes you to the Extrusion Tools download page - it's a part of these tools. On that page are links to each individual tool's thread, each of these has a set of instructions on its first page - many also have further examples and advice in later posts in that thread...

max a question i have , as you have loaded so many of the tools do you find that some off them do not function ie the dome in the scf drawtools bar, or the stairmaker 062.rb being canceled out by the scf archi tool bar or the skins from db tools only 2 show up out of the 4 and do not function. if you or anyone else out there has a solution please let me know thanks grim

hey guys,can u help me.where should i download components stringer plugins?

do you have drivers for your mouse? my logitech allows me to customize button functions per program... so theoretically you might be able to lock out the middle mouse button as 'orbit'. i doubt you'll be able to switch it to pan... so you'll be stuck grabbing for icons whenever you need to move around your drawings.

Thanks TIG... this is great! As always you guys deliver... keep up the good work. Dave

Instead of scaling, why not just select the bottom part of the bag and use the Move tool to stretch the bottom. This is quick, easy and you won't end up scaling the material.

Yeah, I started programming from the command line a long time ago. Folks since those days have gotten used to "point n click" interfaces ... BTW, POVray for Windows does have a nice IDE with integrated help, etc. It's even possible to add custom libraries and code for insertion into your .pov files... It's a bit advanced but a great time saver. Cheers.
