Topic: the Swamp Block Library Manager?

[jbuzbee]

I'm worthless.....sorry

No problem man -

If anyone is still looking I need some help with the whole tree population thing:  only populating the first set of parents and siblings.  Sorry Kerry, I know your code does that but it's very difficult for me to follow (remember, I'm an Architect - NOT a programmer(and Architects aren't that bright to begin with!))

Thanks for any help.

Somewhere in the code will be something like this

".-INSERT"
find it and change it to this
"._-INSERT"


The _ underscore is needed in international versions so that the command evaluator will recognise the English spelling

Hello Kerry Brown

This is not. Lsp file but one. Fas.
Since I can not change anything.

Thanks for your tip


Hallo Kerry Brown

Das ist keine .lsp Datei sondern eins .fas.
Da kann ich nichts ändern.

Danke für dein Tip

[jbuzbee]

Ok, I'll change that.  I'm not at my ACAD station so I can't work on it.  I've got to many projects going right now (trying to get SOMETHING started here) I'll see if I can look at it this weekend.  I still need to figure out the tree thing.

[jbuzbee]

Updated Version 0.2 is on the first post.

I think I caught everything.  The subfolder code isn't pretty but it seems to work well.

Hallo Kerry

I think there is missing a file.
And although the ending with. Fas.
Thanks

Ich glaube da fehlt eine Datei.
Und zwar die mit der Endung .fas.
Danke

OK, my last version.

I changed the Block Preview to a Drawing Preview to speed things up.  I added a Preview button that brings up a separate modeless form for panning and zooming.  The whole app is much faster now.  If there are any changes in the future I've included the command "BlockManagerVer" which returns the version number.

I'll be working on an alternative version using drawings as containers for my own use.  I'll definitely share when I get a working copy done.

My intention was to provide a real world example of how easy and robust OpenDCL is.  I hope this example will help with anyones future development.

New version up on first post.

Very cool James!
I will certainly use this: A black background color is much better for all those yellow lines.

Nb.:
I don't know if this is a bug in your program or in OpenDCL: If the palette is floating or docked everything is working fine, but when you anchor it to the left or right side of the screen it's impossible to work with (acad2008 / OpenDCL6.0.0.23).

[jbuzbee]

Does it flash if you hold the cursor over the docked name or icon?

That's an OpenDCL issue that is being looked at: how the form paints itself.

[Crank]

Yes, I think that what's happening. Good to know this is being looked at.

I am ver interested in a block manager for our office. How do I load and run these files?  Where do I need to copy the files to?
