Menu script for turning off / on programs..

basepointdesignz · Oct 20, 2006

Hi,

How do i code the menus so the user has the option of turning on / off certain programs / tools i have written..

Is there a generic way to code diesel that way?

One example is that i have a program that switches to certain dimstyles dependant on if the user is is paperspace or modelspace but i want to be able to have a menu switch so they can toggle this function off or on..

Cheers,
Paul @ basepoint designz ltd..

I don't quite follow - the program that switches dimstyles, does it detect when user changes space (with reactors), or is it part of a dimensioning macro? Is the program lisp/vba that can be modified?

its only a small vba program that detects if the user switches between modelspace and paperspace and changes the active dimstyle. but what i need is a menu macro that the user can toggle on or off whether the prgram runs or not as they want....

Hi basepointdesignz,

Since it's vba, you'll need to toggle loading and unloading (you can just use autolisp for this -vbaload/-vbaunload), unless you code your vba macro to read either the menu itself (maybe checked or un-checked) or check the value of one of the user system variables USERR1...5 USERS1...5 etc.

Does anyone have a lisp to run in 2005 to dimension points as x(linear) and y(diameter(2X))?
TIA
