Trouble with commit operation

[vico44]

I try to do a new plugin to save open and reload component inside a model and creat xref directory, it works well.

But i got trouble when I try to add "Model.start_operation" the plugin no longer works (refuse to load the new component). Any idea?

The attach file is functional for the trouble one you can erase the "#" on line 62 and line 83.

Thanks

Just put model.commit_operation before model.save.

model.commit_operation is used to commit the geometry, and it must be done before you save the file, which is a separate operation.

Thanks for the answers, but still not working...

Then, it is something else, and you should track the progress of the reload() method with some putsstatement to see what is going wrong.

when i use the "model start opération" the line -> new_definition = model.definitions.load(path) doesn't work at all and new_definition goes to the same definition of the old_definition.

but the reload() method works good if i don't use "model start opération" i got a new_definition and can remove the old one.

really strange.

On peut parler français remarque non?

Donc il faut peut-être mettre la ligne new_definition = model.definitions.load(path) en dehors du block [ start_operation, commit_operation]

Au bah oui pourquoi j'n y es pas penser

Bon c'est pas le top, mais ça marche:

J'ai placer la ligne problématique (ligne 72) entre deux start_operation.

Tu pourrais faire une seule operation [start, commit] pour le guide point et le remplacement.

A few remarks:

1. You need to be careful when you perform a loop on an object, and the process in the body can alter this object. In your case, old_definition.instances is altered when you change the definition of its instances.

old_definition.instances.each { |i| i.definition = new_definition }

so you may want to use instead a copy of the list of instances

old_definition.instances.to_a.each { |i| i.definition = new_definition }

2. You can reorganize the code for more clarity (use also a consistent Tabbing)

    def self.reload
		model = Sketchup.active_model
		select_composant = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0] 
		old_definition = select_composant.definition
		good_name = old_definition.name
		filename = good_name + ".skp"
		path = old_definition.path
		
		#Path does not exist
		unless File.exist?(path)
			UI.messagebox("Error; Could not find file;\n\"#{path}\"" )
			return
		end

		#Load new_definition
		new_definition = model.definitions.load(path)
		unless new_definition
			UI.messagebox("Error; Could not load component; \"#{File.basename(filename,".*")}\"")
			return
		end	
		
		#Add guide point at origin
		model.start_operation("préparation", true)
		select_composant.locked = false
		entities = old_definition.entities
		entities.add_cpoint(ORIGIN)
		model.commit_operation 

		#Replace definition
		model.start_operation("remplacer", true)   			
		new_definition.name = good_name
		old_definition.instances.to_a.each { |i| i.definition = new_definition }
		model.definitions.remove(old_definition.name)
		model.commit_operation   			
	end # reload

En fait le guide point sert à modifier l'ancien composant a cause d'un bug sur model.definitions.load(path) qui refuse de lire un composant dans le même répertoire qu'un composant enregistrer si celui ci n'est pas modifier.

Je suis donc obliger de mettre la partie guide point avant model.définitions.load(path).
