Title: BricsCAD Dialog Box Sizing Problem
Post by: GDF on August 17, 2017, 07:46:35 PM

I'm trying out BricsCAD for the first time; and I'm having problems with dialog box width size, from my dcl files.

Probably best to post HERE (https://forum.bricsys.com/).

I've been using BricsCAD for 6 months at least & no DCL problems yet.
But my dialogs are not as complex as some of yours.

I have gotten all of my issues solved from BricsCAD support team!

They do seem to support the product.
What, in a nut shell, was the issue?

Dialog Box display...see both picks. The issue has been fixed by their help below:



#1. Double display of text_part labels
 In the AutoCAD's DCL documentation (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/AutoCAD-AutoLISP/files/GUID-6F7C60D6-ADCC-48B0-83F9-A69F88D87436-htm.html), tiles have this definition:
 name : item1 [ : item2 : item3 … ]
 {

attribute = value;
 ...
 }

where each item is a previously defined tile.

So the meaning of the inheritance is restricted to attributes only on AutoCAD, whereas on BricsCAD everything is inherited.

This multiple inheritance [ : item2 : item3 … ] is not used in practice. It is not supported in BricsCAD. We were noticed only once before in a single SR. In that SR the user simply removed the multiple inheritance, even in that single case it was an unintentional coincidence.

The code ":arch_cmdname { arch_cmdname;}" might be changed to: "arch_cmdname;" since arch_cmdname does not have any attributes.
 Is it acceptable to just use arch_cmdname;?
