hi,

I used to use:
b = file.gets()
c=b.split(" ")
to read lines from a data file in text.

but the following lines doesn't have a " " between two data if the value is negative.

0.208646094863E+000-0.513313617099E-001-0.915625940530E-003 0.180604789668E+000-0.240882759294E-001-0.872767876563E-003

How do I split them now?

Thanks in advance

hi,

I was wondering if I could get the index of an enums selection directly.

In my example below, I want to choose between "2D" & "3D" for one variable. The return is either "2D" or "3D". But I want the index number instead, that is "0" for "2D", "1" for "3D".

How could I get the "0" or "1" if I don't compare the return with the list of the enums.

Thanks in advance

Cean

def hw_inputbox
	
  iaxi=1	
  t_iaxi = ["2D","3D"]
  enums = [t_iaxi.join("|")]
  values = [t_iaxi[iaxi]]
  prompts = ["Geo type; "]
  results = inputbox prompts, values, enums, "my Geo"
  return nil if not results 
  $iaxi = results[0]
  your_slection=$iaxi
  UI.messagebox(your_slection)

end

UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("hw_inputbox") { hw_inputbox }

Hi,

How do I add an color line?

I use face.material="red" to change face color, but line.material doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

I tried "a.jpg".

Why ".jpg" is not listed in the "files of type"?

hi,

I want to generate component in anywhere with any angle upon my need.

I come up with this code. Now the angle is only about Z axis.

Any advice is welcomed.

I read your wonderful web-page description of the 4 x 4 matrix - ...

I am reading it too. Great job.Thanks.

I read your PipeAlongPath code. I'm not using pre-selected path, instead generating by add_line+add_circle+add_line for U.

add_circle return an array of edge, I need to include them into the path array.

it works now (attached).

Thanks
