BricsCAD Dialog Box Sizing Problem
« 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.
Why is there never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over?

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.

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;?
