[Plugin] Toggle Units

Pete

Matt666, thank you for the very handy plugin. I use this all the time and was wondering if I could make one request...

Could you add a favorites toggle? What I mean by this is allow the user to set favorite units / precision combinations they could toggle between with one click. In my case I need to toggle CM with 0.0 precision and Inches with 1/16 precision constantly. If I could set these two as favorites and have one button that would switch between only those two I would owe you!!

Hi Pete! Thank you for your kind words..

i don't use SU and Ruby anymore, my new job as musician doesn't need for these kind of software!
But I love programming so I will try to do something for you..

I just have to reinstall SU!

Obviously you can't 'sell' someone else's creation, but the use of most of the forum's 'free' tools in your 'business' is acceptable, unless there is something specifically in a tool's 'notices' saying you can't... In this case it's 'All Rights Reserved... Free License...' etc but with no other limitations that I can see...
Having said that it would be nice to offer an author a modest PayPal donation - after all if you are making money from a tool then sharing some of it would only seem fair... "What goes around comes around..."
Matt666 doesn't have a donation button on the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store', but this doesn't prevent you sending him a Private Message and asking the question... If he declines you are no worse off, if he accepts you might feel better in your heart...

Hello there,
I just installed SU 2014,
After downloading Matts Toggle_Units.rb using the sketchucation download-Manager I get the following Error message:

Fehler beim Laden der Datei Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/Architekt/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/Matt_Toggle_Units.rb:62: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
^>
Any Idea how to fix this ?
thank`s for your comments,

You should try to contact Matt by email or something, so that he can fix it.

In the meantime, open the file
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\Matt_Toggle_Units.rb
in notepad.

Change the last line from
Sketchup.register_extension (ext,true)
to
Sketchup.register_extension ext, true

Then it should work fine.

EDIT : It seems he visited the forum on Feb 27, so he should be around somewhere

There was a single method (arguments) error in the extension 'loader' .rb.
I've corrected it to method(arguments) so it is now v2014 compliant.
I updated it for the PluginStore entry [v3.000]...

Hello all,

I still have some troubles with this very usefull extension.
It also seems to be related to a UTF8 issue as you can see the error message below.
I have Win7 64bit pro. Any idea ?

The language string files haven't been encoded as UFT8 and have a silly extensions [.en, .fr]...

it would be simpler to use .txt so people can edit their own copies.
