No problem...

Just a note that the disposal of the tools filename array needs to be inside the conditional true blocks. (Otherwise we might get an error with the & method if tools gets set to nil, prematurely.)

# run when file loads # prevdir = Dir.getwd Dir.chdir Sketchup.find_support_file("Tools") tools = Dir["*.rb"] Dir.chdir(prevdir) prevdir = nil if ( tools & $LOADED_FEATURES == tools ) && Sketchup.active_model && Sketchup.active_model.active_entities && Sketchup.active_model.tools.active_tool_id != 0 UI.start_timer(2.0, false){ LineA.create_line } tools = nil else timer_LineA = UI.start_timer(2.0, true){ if ( tools & $LOADED_FEATURES == tools ) && Sketchup.active_model && Sketchup.active_model.active_entities && Sketchup.active_model.tools.active_tool_id != 0 UI.stop_timer(timer_LineA) tools = nil LineA.create_line end #if } end

I'm curious to what it was...

Great!
Thank you, i like this forum more and more.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

And I see you just joined SCF, so I'll assume your new to Ruby... see:
Ruby Newbie's Guide to Getting Started

Get the CHM Ruby Reference, as instructed in the Guide...

Get the full Ruby installer:
Ruby (v1.8.6-p287) Windows One-Click Installer

Get the !loadpaths.rb script (so you can access standard Ruby lib files):
[Code] Ruby LOAD PATHs script (Win32) (Dan Rathbun / Jim Foltz)

Great!
Thank you Dan.

Mhh that's a pity!

But anyway thank you TBD

Chris, The code works perfectly as far as it was designed to do and that was to place instance1 beside instance2. Only you know how you want and need the components to be related to each other and only you have the components to work with.
