Simple but powerful.

Thanks, I'm digging a big hole in anticipation of throwing out all my cad software.

Matt:

1st. Thanks!

2nd. Seems to have a problem. I typed in " 100**'** " and it drew a line 8'4".

  Perhaps the  %(#FF0040)[****'****]  character is the problem?

Regards, John

Hi ! I think This plugin doesn't support Feet / Inch units... I will have a look !

Edson

sorry, but it does not work for me on mac.

i click on the icon, it asks me to specify the first point, which i do. then a dialogue box appears for me to enter the length and the angle. i do do that and click OK. nothing happens!

what else should i do? any ideas?

Matt666

Hum... Another Pac problem!! Damned. I don't know what's the problem, and I've no mac... Can you copy here the error in the ruby console please ?
Thank you...
Matt.

Edson

here you have it.

I don't understand the problem... Again !! Grmbl.
Can you try line below in the ruby console, please ?

Math.cos(45.degrees)

And these lines

a = Geom;;Point3d.new(12.5,12.5,25.2)
a[0]
a[1]
a[2]

On each line, can you give me the results, please ?
Thank you again for your patience, Edson!

Edson

is this what you wanted?

Edson: you wrote 0 = Geom:: and 1 = Geom:: . That's not what he wanted. Just type exactly what he listed.

First:

a = Geom;;Point3d.new(12.5,12.5,25.2)

Then

a[0]

and so on.

Edson

is this it?

thomthom

Yes, like that.

Matt666

Thank you Edson and Thomthom !
I really really don't understand...

Can someone help me for this bug, please ?

thomthom

I can have a look on my own Mac when I get home.
Looks very weird. Does PC SU and MacSU use the same Ruby version?

Have you tried placing () around lg * Math.cos(ang) . (just a wild guess)

thomthom

Hey, I notice you use $lg and then lg. Is it suppose to be two different things?

I don't know, but I often have problems...

I will look in the code... Thank you!

thomthom

Got it nailed!

It's all down to line 69:

case Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]

On my mac it returned nil

Your case switch doesn't account for that value so lg is passed on as a string.


case Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]
    when 0;lg = result[0].to_f
    when 1;lg = result[0].to_f.feet
    when 2;lg = result[0].to_f.mm
    when 3;lg = result[0].to_f.cm
    when 4;lg = result[0].to_f.m
end

My fix was to add a default handler for the switch.


case Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]
    when 0;lg = result[0].to_f
    when 1;lg = result[0].to_f.feet
    when 2;lg = result[0].to_f.mm
    when 3;lg = result[0].to_f.cm
    when 4;lg = result[0].to_f.m
    else  ;lg = result[0].to_f
end

Not sure why line 69 return nil though, didn't look into that.

Matt666

Ok cool !! Thank you for your bug research Thomthom !
I am pretty sure it works if you try this code below

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]

can you try it please ?

For "pl" variable, no problem. "$pl" is used to reuse last number entered in the polarline window...

thomthom

I'll try it and report back.

thomthom

Yes, that worked.

Matt666

Thank you Thomthom!
I've updated the first post... Can you try it on Mac please? Thank you!
