RpTools ready for testing

Krisidious

well I see it as the difference in having software rep. visit you, or you visit him...

I like it a lot more when they come to my office, where myself and all my co workers can grill them from every direction and where they can see how we use their product in action...

I think we all know what kosher is and isn't... I want someone to buy my house plans... that's why my link is on my name... but I'm not here saying BUY NOW!!! BUY HERE!!! SUPER SALE!!!

unless Coen has a problem with it... but he's gone right now... so while the cat is away... lol

A quick question, does it accept millimetres as a measurement?
Is there an option to set the program up to recognise metric, or is it just a matter of entering the distance with the mm proceeding, i.e 6mm?

If you enter mm (or several other units) into the text box it will convert them properly.

enter 12mm, click up arrow and down arrow (so that it reads and redisplay the current setting) and it displays 0.47244"

If you change you units under Windows/Preferences to mm or cm, then the wizard will increment and display in those units.

I did a test and it might be a limitation of SketchUp that rotations below 0.05 degrees might not work.

I tested it in Ruby and 0.06 seemed to be a limit.

The I used the SketchUp rotate tool and typed a rotation of 0.05 into the VCB and it did not seem to take.

Al,

I'm just rotating this stitch components into place using your new tool.
It is fun to use, but is 0.06 degrees the smallest setting? It might not be enough for a fussy person.

Have a nice day,

Did I read this right? It's only good for 30days?

The "free trial" is only good for 30 days. After you purchase the product you may use it indefinitely.

al...

in using the script last night, I feel that "Gap" is a bad description in Mirror... I had to keep telling myself, he means half the distance of my mirror, to me Gap means the whole distance between selection... I would also like a midpoint selection ability.

otherwise... looking good... no complaints.

Al Hart

Oops - that may be a bug - Gap should mean the whole distance between the original geometry and the new geometry. I will check it out.

(later) Yes, you are right. When I entered a gap of 6', it left 12' between the old objects and the new objects. I will fix it and include it in the next release (today or tomorrow).

What do you mean by a "midpoint selection ability"?

A new version has been posted which fixes the gap problem, and lets users authorize it properly.

a midpoint selection...

when I need to mirror a object or a secletion, I don't readily know the "Gap" between it and it's new oppisite mirror, so the ability to select a midpoint somehwere in space and then have it mirror using it as a center.

thanks for fixing that gap thing so quickly... that's what I call support...
