Topic: the Swamp Block Library Manager?

[jbuzbee]

This should be it.  The tree control error is being fixed and will be in the next alpha build.  For now while testing if a node is selected when the Select Path button is clicked, you'll get an error - but everything continues fine.  So point it to a path and try leaving it . . . if that makes any sense.

I've also seperated the code into multiple files: the name give a clue to the functions inside.  I've also included a .fas file for easy loading.  Let me know . . ..

Thanks James.  I'll take a look when I can.  May not be this week though.

James,

I see no ' .fas ' file.  I think you uploaded the old zip file.

[TimSpangler]

I will give it a try tomorrow.  I am also in the process of dusting off my old one as well.  More for learning OpenDCL ( I have a work project that I think would be a great candidate for it)

I'll post it here upon completion.

[jbuzbee]

oops.

It was a long day yesterday - but productive.

OK, now I know how to edit a post.  The attachment on the first post will be the latest - sorry for any confusion.

How can I start the "Blockmanager"

Hi

How can I start the "Blockmanager"

Make sure you have the latest build of the arx file for OpenDCL, and it's loaded, make sure all the lisp files within the zip file get loaded into Acad, and the odcl file is located within a directory in the search paths of Acad.  Then type ' blockmanager ' at the command line.

Hi

Do you know where I can download the latest built of de ARX file.

[Kerry]

here is the full install with the editor :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendcl/

Kerry, thanks for your support.

We need to look at performance enhancement: i'm going to look at your process of loading subfolders on-demand.  Any thing else you guy's can think of let me know . . ..

James,
I haven't had a look at your code yet so can't comment.
mine seemed to be adequately fast enough to suit our work across a server, you're welcome to gut it.

[Kerry]

One thing I will comment on :
you seem to have versions spread all over the place, here and elsewhere, without any way of anyone telling which is the most recent.  Renaming your zip files accordingly seems like a sensible idea .... and removing redundant releases may help.


With that in mind, where is your most recent version ?

Seems to me that only the .FAS file needs to be loaded, not all files.

added :
And it looks like the .odcl has been converted to an asci file and included with the build, so the .ODCL does not need to be on the path( 'cause it is never loaded as is)

[T.Willey]

I don't know how many people would load a .fas file, so that is why I said it the way I did.  Nice tip about the other information.

James,

you definately need to have another look at the code.
I crashed Autocad by selecting a primary drive.
required a regedit.

Crashed autocad changing root folders via the directory button.

Incredibly slow displaying folders.

never got to see a drawing

FYI : I loaded the build from your OpenDCL forum post
