Re: Slotted Metal paths - updated form for v5.1.41

Hi Jaleco, The short answer is that you cannot use the == or != operators to compare floating point numbers. Try something like: abs(a - b) writes: > Does anyone know how to compare a float value to zero?I have completed > an updated slotted metal form script with user-defined values for slot > dimensions but am having some trouble testing path widths to be on > grid because a test to see of they are on grid randomly fails a float > test comparison to zero and snaps path widths > unnecessarily. -- http://crosstwine.com tel: +49 89 2189 2939 cell: +49 174 3489 428 “Strong Opinions, Weakly Held” — Bob Johansen

  • Thanks D,

    I think I corrected the source of the compare problem, and I am using the abs() function for the comparison.

    The script seems to be working well, though I would like to hear if anyone that finds this useful also finds a bug.

    Surely that will never happen.  :  )

    I have kept most of Lawrence's original CCSslotmetal.il intact within the script and it has plenty of commentary added for the additional input and algorithms....and it is about 1200 lines of code now, so I am attaching it as a Word (RTF) file.

    At least...I think I am...I have never attached a file to one of these posts before...it shows on the options form, but not the preview.

    If the attachment does not show up and anyone would like to use it, please tell me how to correctly attach a file(!).
