[Plugin] Arcs Circles +

rv1974

@rv1974: bug fixed, and now can draw inside groups/components.

Thanks! Works smooth now, no crashes\freezing.
Minor bug remained: while inside some group, it still does not draw on external greyed out geometry.

A question to "Arc, center, 1 point, length": it is possible to define (VCB) the length of the arc or is it only possible with the mouse?

[*]it is possible to define (VCB) the length of the arc or is it only possible with the mouse?
you can type a length in the VCB. If it doesn't work on your side, plz report the issue .

I can enter a length, but it is not accepted/assigned to the arc. I tried the input before and after mouse move. There is no reaction to the return key in the vcb...

@Cotty: Unzip the attached file and overwrite your "arcscircles.rbs" file with the attached one. I'm pretty sure this will solve the issue.

Yes, it does!
Thank you!

(What was the reason for this?)

Didier Bur

[*]What was the reason for this?
The released plugin was older than the version I used myself...

@Didier

Will you be formally reissuing it as v2.0.2 ?
The download link and PluginStore etc are now out of date ?

PS: I've done the update for you...

Thanks TIG
Apparently the plugin has a problem with "additionnal Plugins Folder" ?

TIG

You need to set a reference [class variable or module::Constant] to the 'container' in the loader .rb to get where it is, and work the tree to your folder from there...
Usually it's the Plugins folder, but with custom-folders it is not !
Compiled .rbs files mess up on code FILE..., so you need to use that in the .rb loader, setting it before it loads other files.
You should never use the Sketchup.fine_support_file() method, because that always looks in the main Plugins folder, and so misses custom-plugins folders...

Always not a general option for make a "surface" at each drawing of a close figure(or not) ?

When using the "Arc, center, 1 point, length" the length comes up short.

When entering 6.75" in the VCB, the arc produced is only 6" long.

I'm using SU 8 version 8.0.16846, windows 7.
I tried with my normal plugins and also with all plugs removed.

cotty

Did you use version 2.0.2 of the plugin?

Sorry I forgot to include that, Yes I did.
I used DBUR_ArcsCircles_v2.0.2.rbz, in fact I redownloaded it just to make sure and i still does it.

The other tools seem to work okay, with the exception of maybe the Circle:Diameter.

To me the tool Circle:Diameter works like the native circle tool. But the handle you drag to set the size, doesn't work right.,

Example: if I try to draw a 4" diameter circle, I select the center and then have to drag the handle 4" from the center to make the circle. which seems a odd way to do it.
