            Hi Thom-

            Just downloaded your Guide Tools and TT Lib2; they seemed to be working fine, then I tried adding CPoints to the circles in the attached file. There's one circle that the tool refuses to work on (top, far right).

            The odd thing is that your tool had no trouble adding a CP to the other end of the same hole (see bottom side), and I made the row of holes by drawing one circle on face, move+ x2, then pushed them through...

            I tried both selecting the face and then using Guide Tools, and just selecting the circle and using Guide Tools, both with CPoint at Circle Center and CPoint at Arc Center.

            Thought you'd want to see it.

            Thanks, -carl-

              Never mind?

              After encountering this problem, the plugin wouldn't install guide points in other files either.

              Quit SU, reopened, seems to work fine, even on the file I just posted...

              It does seem that SU is less stable since installing Selection Toys and TT Lib1 this morning, but could be the moon -- this is not a report yet.

              Sorry! -carl-

                  You want to set the coordinates of the components

                    From that animation I don't see what the problem is. It seem to create CPoint where it should ... ❓ ❓

                      Hello Thomthom
                      I had given your wonderful plug Guide Tools as answer for this question 😎

                      Maybe you can add an option for give an orientation to the component ? (Insert Components at CPoints)
                      That will be very useful in a lot of cases! ☀

                        Orientation is defined by the component axis. Or did you mean something else? Image example?

                          Assuming the original component has these axis and keep them
                          and of course that you make a different selection for each "plan" of Cpoints
                          (here 3 selections with call of the pluging at each time) the more easy to code 😉

                          The input box could be for a selection for the first result:
                          Insert Components at CPoints with
                          (No rotation so default parameters = 0°) 😄
                          Rotate Components on X = 0°
                          Rotate Components on Y = 0°
                          Rotate Components on Z = 0°

                          The input box could be for a selection for the second result:
                          Insert Components at CPoints with
                          Rotate Components on X = 0°
                          Rotate Components on Y = 0°
                          Rotate Components on Z = 270°

                          The input box could be for a selection for the third result:
                          Insert Components at CPoints with
                          Rotate Components on X = 0°
                          Rotate Components on Y = 0°
                          Rotate Components on Z = 90°

                          Seems useful no ? ☀

                              Is there a way to add a guidepoint to the center of an exploded circle? I tired exploded arc and just circle tools, but neither of them worked on an exploded circle.

                                Circle or arc should not make a difference. Select two of the edges and it should work.

                                  Did you try exploded arc center point finder (Chris Fullmer)?

                                    Guide_tools aren't working for me under SU Pro 2013. I deleted it and all the other TT_Lib related tools, then reinstalled all. Still not working.

                                      It works for me with SU2013.

                                      You'll need to be more specific about what happens when you try to use it.

                                        Any error messages? As Dave mentioned, we'd need more specific info to what "isn't working".
