To Cadalot : creating a texture on the spot when you need one is easy enough, I believe. It's managing the textures that's really hard. We'd need some way to parametrize them, a mechanism to do load and save. The LTX et ATX files should have some dialog allowing to access them and edit them. And symbol management for textures should be easy and allow easy transfer from PC to PC, maybe by embedding the symbol in the LTX or ATX files or whatever format that would replace them. Of course, autocad compatibility can't hurt, but that would not be my first request. | ||

Chad You can't just "copy and past to the texture file." You need the symbol, I have some symbols and textures that I created for a V12 User if you want them I can email them to you. There were however made for his particular set up but with a little work you can modify them for your units. IMHO AutoCAD PAT compatability is one of the things that CADVANCE could do with, the whole system of making Textures to too time consuming for the end user. | ||

Try removing the space in "pnt 0" at the end of the line. i_ret%=CdiObjTexture(l_osl&,0&,CDI_EVEN, tx_spacing2, tx_angle+90.000000#, pnt1, pnt 0) Jeff, The line should read: i_ret%=CdiObjTexture(l_osl&, 0&, CDI_EVEN, tx_spacing2, tx_angle+90.000000#, pnt1, pnt0) The forum seems to have formatted the text incorrectly for that line. | ||

Are there any textures out there that I can just copy and past to the texture file. I would appreciate any that I can get. Thanks. | ||

The macro gives me a syntax error on this line: i_ret%=CdiObjTexture(l_osl&,0&,CDI_EVEN,tx_spacing2,tx_angle+90.000000#,pnt1,pnt 0) I'm not smart enough to correct it. | ||

thanks for the help but your post is WAY over my head. I am not a programmer by any means. thanks anyways. | ||

Would a macro that creates textures be useful? Here is an example of CBL code that will place a 90 degree grid texture: sub main if CdiGetProgMode()=CDI_3D_MODE then exit sub end if dim texture_buffer as CDI_TEXTURE_INFO dim object as CDI_OSL_OBJECT dim pnt0 as CDI_DD_POINT dim pnt1 as CDI_DD_POINT dim object1 as CDI_OSL_OBJECT dim snapmode as integer count&=CdiOslCount(0&) l_osl&=CdiCreateLocalOsl(CDI_OBJECT_COLOR,0&, CDI_REDRAW_OSL) if count&=0 then i_ret%=CdiSelectbyPoint(l_osl&,"Select object to texture",CDI_OBJECT_SELECTION,CDI_FALSE,CDI_TRUE,pnt0,CDI_SEL2D_LINESETS) if i_ret%=CDI_ERROR or i_ret=CDI_ABORT then exit sub end if i_ret%=CdiObjDraw(l_osl&,CDI_HIGHLIGHT) count&=1 else for osl_item&=1 to count& i_ret%=CdiOslItem(0&,osl_item&-1, object1) i_ret%=CdiOslAdd(l_osl&,object1.sid,CDI_TRUE) next osl_item& end if call CdiGetTextureInfo(texture_buffer) i_ret%=CdiGetDist("Horizontal spacing",0,0,tx_spacing1) if i_ret%=CDI_ERROR then exit sub end if i_ret=CdiGetDist("Vertical spacing",0,0,tx_spacing2) if i_ret%=CDI_ABORT or i_ret%=CDI_ERROR then i_ret%=CdiSetSnapMode(snapmode%) i_ret%=CdiFreeLocalOsl(l_osl&) exit sub end if i_ret%=CdiGetDouble("Enter angle",0,90,6,tx_angle) if i_ret%=CDI_ABORT or i_ret%=CDI_ERROR then i_ret%=CdiSetSnapMode(snapmode%) i_ret%=CdiFreeLocalOsl(l_osl&) exit sub end if i_ret%=CdiGetPoint("Texture origin",pnt0,button_hit%,menu_hit%) if button_hit%=CDI_BUTTON_1 then i_ret%=CdiObjSnap(pnt0,pnt1) i_ret%=CdiObjTexture(l_osl&,0&,CDI_EVEN,tx_spacing1,tx_angle,pnt1,pnt0) i_ret%=CdiObjTexture(l_osl&,0&,CDI_EVEN,tx_spacing2,tx_angle+90.000000#,pnt1,pnt 0) end if i_ret%=CdiFreeLocalOsl(l_osl&) i_ret%=CdiObjDraw(0&,CDI_HIGHLIGHT) i_ret%=CdiSetSnapMode(snapmode) end sub | ||

I am looking for any new textures that might be out there that i can download. I have made a few of my own but as you know it takes time to do so. Plus they are very simple ones. The AETools textures are not as easy to use because they do not have the phantom line ability. I would rather use the ones that are created with the regular program. Any help would be great. |
