The problem with Kerry is he does things in a intelligent, efficent, well organized manner and actually is being the most helpful by trying to get a detailed description of the problem.
Seriously, I think Kerry is doing the best thing for you by trying to get a detailed description of the problem.
You will find the guys with the most knowledge and best advice do not just post a bunch of code.
That is for guys like me who have gained enough knowledge to know good places to find answers and then post the code in a effort to look smart.
This has made me think I probably have done more harm than good by just posting code and I am not talking about this thread.
I have posted code to questions asked and then later when I see what they were actually trying accomplish I wish I have never posted it.
Kerry could be trying to prevent this.
Honestly I think you getting a false sense that you are making gains toward a solution and Kerry could be trying to help you by stopping this now then it blowing up on you later.
Kerry is the only one that is actually helping you.
By asking you questions he is trying to make you think, and addressing questions that need a full explanation for this project to be sucessful.
For example:
Why are storing the info in the drawing?
Should be answered with valids reason why and why other approaches would not be better.
This helps to make sure you are solving and understanding the correct problem, better advise can be given because people better understand problem.
When you work in a team you don’t need to know about all aspects of project. You write your part and somebody else writes his part. And somebody else will combine them.
True but someone needs to fully understand the problem first before they can correctly break up the project in smaller parts.
You will be the one combining them, and trying to make sure your parts fit.
Would you hate to get it all together just to find out you not able to combine them?
Mark Lee and Jeff were able to solve a lot of my questions
I think Kerry knows that sometimes the questions being answered might be more harmful than good.
You could be creating a solution for problems that do not exist and help in no way solving original problem.
He might be trying to prevent this from the very begining instead of weeks of wasted work being done and nothing to show for it.
Are you a giver or taker?
The code I posted I probably stole from Kerry so does that count as a giver?
Did you read the project details on Reply #21? How come Jeff completely understood it
I really do not.
Maybe I underatand what your post ask for,
but I do not understand how what asked for or given would be any real use
Why didn’t you see Ushape dynamic block file
Can you promise and know for sure that this one drawing represents every possible block that will be used?
That code written that works for this one drawing will work on all other possible blocks to be used?
How do know what logic will be used and the code written will work on other blocks?
If it were me I would want to know and be testing on every single block that could be used
You don’t need to know anything else about database, shop, field (I made a big mistake even mentioned it at first place) and other stuff.
Take a minute and think about it. Really think about it.
How does hiding that info help anyone give a better solution?
You are putting yourself in a situation to get completely ripped off.
It would be easy to create a solution for what you asked, but it is so obivious you do not understand or do not want to address some very important issues.
The issues you do not want or don't understand to address are some of the more annoying ones.
So you are willing to pay someone for a solution that they do not have deal with any annoying matters and knows it will not end up working.
Kerry might be trying to keep some guy dropping in and taking your money.
