Spirals

[Mikerosen]

Silly question: Is there a way to draw a spiral?

[Eric Pousse]

Bonjour Mike,

There is no tool for this in RealCADD.
Maybe it can be done with a script?

Cordialement.

Thanks. I didn't think so.

Mike,

I do it but it is not optimised.
The script is here : spirale.zip
Put the unzipped file in :
Documents/RealCADD/Scripts/
Launch RealCADD
The script has the basic icon "+" and ask you for the number of spires and of segments.
Draw a line from the center of the spiral to the end point.

Voilà !

Cordialement.

George,

Is the script added in the pallet when you launch RealCADD?
What happens when you select it?

Hi Eric. The script pallet looks like this (a lot of scripts seem to have disappeared):

If i click the + icon I get this:

Provided I enter a number in the "Number =" box, clicking Run gives me this:

I can enter numbers in the boxes OK – but once I click the OK button I can't make a spirtal

George,
Your script pallet is strange and some icons are missing.
You click on the + button not on the + icon.
But you don’t have + icons in your script pallet.
If you move the RealCADD folder from your Documents folder to another place when RealCADD is not running, RealCADD will reset it at the next launch, quit RealCADD, add the spirale script into the scripts folder, relaunch RealCADD and you will have the + icon in the script.
Cordialement.

George,

The + button is to create new scripts.

Hi Eric -- Ok - I mistook it for the icon.

I did what you said in the previous post, but now RealCADD loads with a blank Scripts window.

The scripts are there however, just their icons not displaying, and if you can click in various places you can make their Input windows come up – including the new Spiral script.

Edit - I reloaded the scripts from the original and now some appear. But RealCADD seems to put a second copy of the .bmp files into the Scripts folder – e.g. "drapeaudown@2x.bmp" and "drapeauup@2x.bmp". These seem to be the ones not appearing in the Scripts window.

I deleted all these second files, but when I restarted RealCADD, it simply loaded them up again.

Should I delete the original .bmp files and leave the new ones with "@2x" in them??
