Hey Sam,

Just looking through your nice plugins and thought I'd get the main SDM Tools required dependancy plugin to check them out.

Well, I failed again as I can't seem to locate the 'main' plugin as yet.

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

Thanks again,
Phil B.

Hey sdmitch,

Thanks much for the reply. much appreciated.

This will give me a good start as after looking at the SU Ruby API
docs left me fairly confused.

Similar to what pcmoor has stated, I now also need to find examples of menus etc.

Hey, very nice web page BTW

Cheers,
Phil.

Hi all,

I started looking for Ruby examples on menu driven searching for components (with filters),
then zooming to the selected component - pretty much like a scene selection.

Failed big time...

I don't expect any replies to this message, but thought I'd throw it out there as an idea.

Any thoughts fine SK people?
