Hiding the DC Components Attributes Menu
-
I have made a Dynamic Component and I wish to hide the Component Attributes Menu to prevent someone from changing the math. So is there a way to hide this menu?
Thanks in advance

Get them to use Free !
Otherwise you are stuck - because a Pro user has access to DC attributes through that dialog.
You could perhaps try starting their names with an '_' so use '_calc' versus 'calc' etc... that's because these kinds of attributes don't display in the same way, but then of course unless you use some Ruby magic to access them / change them in the console, then they are no longer editable by YOU either
]
To see all attributes of a DC select a DC instance an in the Ruby Console type [or copy/paste] this, to see the entire list:
Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].attribute_dictionary("dynamic_attributes").each_pair{|k,v|puts"#{k}=#{v}"}
It'll show a list like this:
_has_movetool_behaviors=0.0 _hasbehaviors=1.0 _lengthunits=CENTIMETERS _name=tila ala=1 lenx=39.37007874015748 leny=39.3700787401575 nimi=Name tunnus=666
In this case the non-standard attributes could have been give other _ names ?? -
Thank you TIG. I didn't think there was a way to hide the menu. But it wouldn't be the first time I missed something right in front of my face.
