Andrew, I can't seem to locate anything on drawing a Spline from fit points (as opposed to control points). I currently have some control point splines such as : var sleeveCapB = new RSpline([mA,mI,m3,mH,mE],2); This works beautifully, of course. However, I have some splines that need to use fit poi...

Overcomplicating seems to be something I do consistently. The obvious often eludes me.

Thanks Andrew.

I'm using the middle point of a line to define a new RVector. My first inclination was to code: var mO = new RVector(lD_K.getMiddlePoint()); This created an error. I did qDebug to see if something was wrong with the line: qDebug(lD_K + ' ldk'); qDebug(lD_K.getMiddlePoint() + ' lD_K middle') The resu...

I've created a menu hierarchy for my add-on and the attached image illustrates the structure. The menu system works fine and I'm not getting any errors. However, I've created this by copying existing QCAD menu items. I've tried to understand the sort order numbering system by reading existing QCAD f...

Worked perfectly, of course. Thanks Andrew. By the way, I have the entire sequence running. It opens the QT dialog for measurements, saves them to XML, opens the XML file, reads all the data and draws the pattern. I had to make some changes to the XML formatting to set my variables, but it runs perf...

One of my dynamic text additions to my drawing requires a line return. I found reference to the "\P" in another forum post and tried to incorporate it. Unfortunately, it just prints out and doesn't generate a line return. I am concatenating two variables as the QString and would like the second one ...

I got the XML export in the proper format. I've marked up the importer code with a switch statement for setting values on my variables. And now I'm completely lost. The attached importer.js is basically just the body of your ExXmlImport.js with my switch. The FMBodice.js is my page that draws the pa...

I was just testing and stumbled on part of the problem I was having yesterday. I was using your export xml file code when building mine. I copied it over "as-is" because that's the way I like to start, assuming it is correct before I start messing with it. The problem is the comment - stream.writeCo...

Changing the structure is no problem. Since I'm creating it with ExXmlExport I can make it any way I choose. I'll change my code and use your recommendation.

Thank you.

Our time zone difference is bad (it's 7:20am here), so I'm trying to anticipate my issues for the day. Another issue I'm anticipating is using the ExXmlImport scripts in my code. With the ExXmlExport, I was able to copy out the necessary code and just put it on one of my .js pages. I was surprised i...

I think the issue was me (big surprise). I was playing with the files in Text Edit, instead of my IDE (PHPStorm) and I think it was corrupting the file somehow. I just picked a random XML file off my machine and it worked. So I created a test file in the IDE based on that. This is what I get back: i...

Success! I have created the QT form and am saving the data in a persistent widget and in a new XML file (based on the ExXmlExport). I have tried every type of XML file using the IOExamples>ExXmlImport and everything returns import failed at the command line. I tried XML with attributes and XML with ...

With that, it was easy to fix my problems. One entire pattern is now being generated accurately from script. I've hard coded my variables at the top, so the next step is the QT XML work.

Thank you Andrew.

Here's a couple more instances of my angle problems. I've taken images of the property editor after the entities are draw and here's the corresponding code snippets (there is a line and a text entity). var grainText = new RTextData( lgrain.getMiddlePoint(), // position lgrain.getMiddlePoint(), // al...

I need to draw a line with a relative angle of 90 degrees to an existing line. I output the angle of the existing line with getAngle(), which returns 3.372995491. When I view the line properties in the drawing the Angle is 193.258406. I referred to the LineRelativeAngle.js for help and saw the getRe...
