Own Dynamic Component supported function

tictactoe

Whith the DC function CURRENT you can access the dynamic dictionary value 'LenX' of the component:
=CURRENT("LenX")/2

How can I make a similar function and access the dictionary?

class DCFunctionsV1
protected
def mycurrent(param_array)
# Question:
# WHAT CODE IS NEEDED HERE TO ACCESS THE DICTIONARY?
#
end
end

You cannot do that, and still have a Dynamic Component that is version 1.

Dan Rathbun

The name of the dictionary is "dynamic_attributes"

If you have to mess the Component's dictionary, do it using:
comp.get_attribute("dynamic_attributes","keyname") and leave the **DC** classes alone. (They are scrambled for very good reasons, and should be considered a part of Sketchup.)

I found it. With

@source_entity.get_attribute("dynamic_attributes", "somekey")

you can access the dictionary-values.

.. seems to be an echo in HERE... Here ... here ... here ... here

The

@source_entity

was the key. No echo!

And get_attribute should only read values and not mess the dictionary.
