The last line is #266.

It seems that there is nothing in the selection to copy... BUT if there is nothing then an earlier part of the code should trap it with an error, staring at line #109

Have you messed up the code with the translation ?

I haven't done changes in the code only i have translated the UI.messagebox and the text of the popups windows, i have probe with the mirror 3.3 original version (english) and don't works too.
I don't know if there is a conflict with others plugins.

TIG

Can you try it with the 'Ruby Console' open and post all error messages...
This is a puzzle...

I have found the error!
There is a conflict with SketchyPhisics 3.1, remember i work on Mac OSX.
Excuse me, it not was a problem in the plugin there were a conflict.

Is there a solution to solve this conflict?

TIG

Here's v3.4 with some more code tweaks that might stop bugs...

I know this is an operator error. I have noticed if you press the delete key instead of the return, the plugin crashes. Is there a way to capture the delete key so it will not crash Sketchup.

Yes, I know I should be more careful.

Thank you for your plugin

It should roll up the Outliner in Windows ?

I have replaced an archaic version of the Mirror tool with your new one and see that the right mouse context choice is now gone and only the icon in the toolbar is there. Could you please re-intoduce the necessary lines in the code to enable it to appear in the context menu....

Sorry but i am a creature of habit and the use of the icon interrupts my usual workflow...

Thanks in advance.

Sorry about that...
I disabled it temporarily whilst I was doing something else!
Here's v3.5 that has it reintroduced...

@TIG: Could you make some loader for this ? I would like to have a folder with "MI.png, Mirror.rb and toggleWindows.rb" and a Mirror_loader.rb (or similar). Win32API.so I thinks it's best to stay in Plugins folder, as it is used by more plugins.

Thanks a lot.

If you want to move files you need to rewrite the menu/toolbar part of their code to ensure the files are found in the new sub-folder.
A loader is a simply a file in the ../Plugins/ folder called perhaps myloader.rb containing this line of code
load "mysubfolder/myscript.rb"
The line can be repeated for multiple files to be loaded...
Where mysubfolder is a folder in ../Plugins/ containing the script myscript.rb that you want loading...

Today I noticed when I mirror a component the mirrored copy gets "Scale definition" active. When click to reset it rotates 180 degree, when choose to scale the original now gets "Scale definition"?

The component instance will be scaled '-1' in the selected direction[s]. Resetting the scale should revert to the original scaling...

And may be this is the cause of my troubles with the components getting unique! I did a lot of models with the Mirror Selection - now I just copied instead of mirror and components don't convert to unique!
