Hi Matt

Thanks. As you can see from my avatar, I design in flat steel plate, and 1/8” is close enough for welders.

Your response was faster service than I had at the restaurant I just returned from. Hope others find this helpful.

Again much thanks.

And on a side note, my youngest daughter is trying to be an exchange student to France this summer. She is taking French in HS this year. I know if she gets to go, she will have a great time.

Again thanks

Ken

Thanks for asking

I've updated first post with a new tool and new icons by CadFather! Thank you Max!
Edson or Thomthom, does this version work on Mac?

Edson

i am afraid only the three added features work. the rest does not (but was working perfectly before). no error in the ruby console.

Matt666

Incredible... That's incredible! Cheer up! We will success...

Installed and works as advertised. Also, like the additional button.

Thank you.

Ahhhh ... changed already. I added a red dot to the original set to show the association between related buttons.

CAD father's, as always, are nice icons.

Sorry JClements...

Hey Matt:

Could the new values created when the accuracy buttons are clicked, be displayed somewhere such as in the Task Bar or better yet when the mouse is put over the top of button?

Same happens on my Mac . Just the last three buttons worked as expected.

Only the 10th and 11th icon work on my Mac version. Also, as mentioned previously, the buttons stay depressed even when you press a different one.
Also, there is not much difference in the gray color between pressed and not pressed for the "Dec" button (when it is in its "not-pressed" condition it is already grayed out, but not quite as much as when it is pressed). See Attachment.

When I get it working it will be of significant value since I often work with both decimal inches and feet/inches.

Is there anyone else that is having trouble with this plugin with Sketchup 7.1.6860. It will change the precision but not the units.

Thanks in advance.

Ken

try with these: toggle_units.zip

Edson

max, what problems is this new version supposed to solve? the copy I have installed works fine but for one thing: the buttons stay depressed even when you press a different one. by the way, I am on mac running the latest snow leopard.

CadFather

EDIT: if using SU 7.1, install the 2 files inside the zip (thanks to Jim)
toggle_units.zip

Matt, Thank you for this!

one question.. how can i assign a keyboard shortcut to one of them? or is it not possible?

also, the units redraw only when i click on the screen or (press the esc key) - is that to do with screen refresh? if so is there any way to make it refresh automatically?

CadFather

unfortunately i have no knowledge of macs so i'm not able to test - on my pc once the 'dec' is enabled the icons stray pressed when selected..

Somehow I missed this post. So today I tried this post. I now have a toolbar with no icons showing. It seems the icon should now be in another directory. I haven't moved the icons until I know this is what is at fault.

Also, after selecting Fract in the plugin menu, the plugin stop working until I select to top selection.

So was the attachment you had posted, was that for my problem or a MAC issue.

And what happen to Matt666?

Would like some help, I find this a very valuable plugin.

Thanks in advance.
