[Plugin] 2D Tools

Dave R

Wyatt, I don't want to speak for TIG but I'm not having any problem with the 2D Tools on either my Mac or my PC. In fact I just used it a few minutes ago on my PC here at work. Could it be an install problem?

thomthom

His error indicate a syntax error.

Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABEL instead which Ruby 1.8.6 throws an error at now that it's stricter than previous version.

Possible he has used different tools than you?

@Wyatt: exactly when you do get these errors? What tools/operations are you doing?

Dave R

I don't know, Thomas. I've gone through all of the 2D tools just now and didn't get any errors.

Ok, figured it out. The 2D tools that don't work for me are these:

v4.6 works fine. Are the plugins on the other thread an earlier build?

TIG

As Thomthom says v8 is more unforgiving of having only part of the arguments parenthesized - I will check my code and reissue to suit... B U T . . .
However, there is no occurrence of the text Sketchup::set_status_text ("Length"), SB_VCB_LABEL ANYWHERE in the current 2DlineTool.rb - it's always the correctly syntaxed Sketchup::set_status_text((db"Length"),SB_VCB_LABEL) ???
So I am a bit mystified - do you have the correct version downloaded from the main page zip file...

Peculiar. Though, I did find the syntax alien to be TIG's...

It was 'wrong' in some older versions.... BUT not in the more recent ones - and they coincidentally suits v8 too............

Here's v4.7 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760
The MAC TAB-key press glitch is trapped using key-up check instead of key-down in 2DlineTool.
MAC 'help' openURL glitch fixed.

Some how I don't think this is what you wanted.

And thanks.

Ken - somehow the zip got messed up!
I'll post v4.7 again!

TIG

v4.7 zip was messed up!
It's now fixed http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760 - please re-download...

I know that it has been downloaded a few times in the corrupted form.
If you have it then either don't install it or if you already have done so, then please remove all of the 'wrong' files from the Plugins folder...
Otherwise you'll get multiple toolbar-buttons etc...

In the Plugins folder you should only have just two related files - deBableizer.rb and 2D#.rb - AND also a 2DTools folder containing lots of things.

Everything else with '2d' is their name [files (~22nr) and folders (2nr)] is wrong and needs removing.

The CadFathersIcons.zip file is also wrongly located and needs removing to tidy up.

Also there will be a folder called Icons that unfortunately might have merged with other tools' folder of the same name - it does no harm to have the extra image files in there... BUT to tidy up remove any files in it with '2D' in their name - if that empties the folder then you can also delete that.

Similarly the Hatching folder has been misplaced - it's unlikely to have merged - but check if it only contains image files starting with 'PATT' and a ReadMe.txt file - if so the whole folder can go...

Sorry for this mess up...

thank you

Hi Tig
I noticed the edit 2d text function no longer works in version 8.
The option to edit the text shows up in the context menu but doesn't pop up a dialog box.
This is the error I got.
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method db' for TextTool2D:Class> 2DtextTool.rb:379:in edit'
Running windows xp sp2

Cheers

You should have deBabelizer.rb in the Plugins folder. It's in the main zip file?

Not sure about the SectionCut error ???

Reinstalled the 4.7 and now the error is this:

I've now got these new v8 errors trapped in '2D Text' and '2D Line Style' "edit" modes - see v4.8 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=185760#p185760

Double checking that no other methods are rubbished by the less forgiving PC-Ruby in v8...

EDIT: There shouldn't be any others - but that's not to say you lot won't find something that's broken... keep looking
