      Hi Edson,
      I suppose each time you register a new UCS you give it a unique name, right ?
      Can you do this test: register 2 or 3 different UCS, then call the attributes manager to see if these UCS have been correctly stored as attribute dictionaries.
      See attached image: in this example, I have registered 3 UCS named 11,12, and 13, so I have 3 attribute dictionaries named UCS_11, UCS_12, and UCS_13.
      If that's no the case on your side, I'll have to further investigate what's wrong with the script on Mac.
      Regards,

        didier,

        I created three UCSs: 01, 02 and 03. then I clicked on List UCS and it shows only the first one (see below).

        please. forgive my thickness but I do not know where is the Attributes Manager you mentioned. is there such a thing on mac?

          The attributes manager is an old thing by Google released in 2007. I have attached it here.
          But the 'list UCS' command of my plugin retrieves the attribute dictionaries of your UCS and just displays them in another way. I see that your UCS aren't registered the way they should be 😞
          Anyone on Mac encountered the same problem ?
          I've tested the plugin on a Mac and it works OK.
          Edson, can you send me a SKP with several registered UCS ?

            here you have a skp file with 5 UCSs registered, from 01 to 05. if you still want me to run the attributes thing, let me know.

            you forgot to attach it.

              @Edson:
              I'm puzzled: there's only one UCS registered in you file. I've added 2 new UCS named 02 and 03 with no problem. I send you the file back, please check if they can be listed once back on your Mac.
              P.S.: forget the attribute manager, the listing UCS command does the same job.
              Regards,

                I am puzzled too. the UCSs you created are listed on my mac. however, I created UCS 04 and it did not register again.

                    I have updated this tool for Didier, now to be compatible from SketchUp v8 up to v2015.
                    It will also now load from any suitably set up Plugins folder [in $:], rather than just the default Plugins folder...
                    The latest version [1.0.0x] is in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=DBUR_UcsManager_v1_0_0

                      Hello,

                      TIG's update brought the following error:

                      Error Loading File C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb
                      uninitialized constant DBUR_Ucs::TRError Loading File DBUR_UcsManager.rb
                      uninitialized constant DBUR_Ucs::TR

                      ...which I think is a similar error message to what happens when you try and load UCS manager from an alternate plugin folder.
                      The standard v1.0.0 loads fine (from standard plugin folder)

                      Is the solution obvious?
                      I've been fiddling with Didier's ArcCircle+ rb, trying and failing to get it to work from an alternate pligin location. If UCS can be fixed, I'll attempt the equivalent on ArcCircle+ - and perhaps save you the bother.

                      Thanks
                      T

                        I'll check it out...
                        Many of Didier's scripts do mess up if a non-standard Plugins folder is used...
                        I thought I found all the culprits... maybe not.

                            Hi TIG,
                            no sorry still exact same error message. UCS is the only plugin in the standard folder
                            (haven't tried running it from an alternate location yet) Tested on two separate desktops.

                            Is it working for you though?

                              It works fine for me ???

                              Please check you only have the one copy installed.
                              An earlier version loading from another Plugins folder would mess you up, as it'll overwrite the standard folder's version.

                              Can you also post the path to your standard folder - obtained from this in the Ruby Console.
                              Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')

                              Also I get this:
                              DBUR_Ucs::TR

                              {"UCS Manager"=>"UCS Manager", "Save and restore User Coordinates Systems"=>"Save and restore User Coordinates Systems", "Save a User Coordinates System"=>"Save a User Coordinates System", "Restore a User Coordinates System"=>"Restore a User Coordinates System", "Delete a User Coordinates System"=>"Delete a User Coordinates System", "Save UCS"=>"Save UCS", "Restore UCS"=>"Restore UCS", "Delete UCS"=>"Delete UCS", "List UCS"=>"List UCS", "List User Coordinates Systems"=>"List User Coordinates Systems", "UCS main dialog"=>"UCS main dialog", "Pick UCS origin"=>"Pick UCS origin", "New UCS name: "=>"New UCS name: ", "Unnamed"=>"Unnamed", "Existing UCS: "=>"Existing UCS: ", "Select UCS"=>"Select UCS", "No UCS in this model."=>"No UCS in this model.", "Select existing UCS"=>"Select existing UCS", "Name: "=>"Name: ", "Origin: "=>"Origin: ", "X Axis: "=>"X Axis: ", "Y Axis: "=>"Y Axis: ", "Z Axis: "=>"Z Axis: "}

                              I'll make a slightly different version which sets up ' TR' differently, but I can't see why it fails for you !

                                Here's an update http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=DBUR_UcsManager_v1_0_0 It have recast some of the code making the Translation hash - it's no longer set up inside the RBS, it's now done in the subfolder's RB before loading the RBS at all.

                                At least that way we might get different error messages πŸ˜•

                                Please retry and report back...

                                  Hi TIG
                                  UCS manager is now loading without error - when located in standard plugins location, and in alternate locations.
                                  However the following errors appear on use:

                                        Exactly the same error messages, I'm afraid.

                                        Would you like me to PM you them? (rather than saturating the thread with error messages)

                                          Please copy+paste these three lines [one at a time] into the Ruby Console and report the three results...

                                          ` load('DBUR_UcsManager.rb')

                                          load('DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb')

                                          Sketchup.load('DBUR_UcsManager/dbur_ucs.rbs')`

                                          Then, in that same session, retry using the tool...
