Skill Code Need to Toggle Path or Path Segment Width

kylw

Hi,

I need a skill code in which I can toggle the path or path segment width from list(0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3) and when the metal width is 0.3 then it will loop back to 0.1.  I have the following script it only changes the metal width to 0.15 but does not have the toggle function.

procedure(toggleWidth()
 foreach(obj geGetSelectedSet()
  if(obj~>width=0.1 then
     obj~>width=0.15
  )
 )
)

Thanks,

EW

  • Hi Ellie,

    This is untested, but perhaps something like the following:

    procedure(CCFeq(a b "nn")
      abs(a-b) < 1e-6 ; true if a is within .0001% of b
    )
    
procedure(CCFtoggleWidth()
  foreach(obj geGetSelectedSet()
    cond(
      (CCFeq(obj~>width 0.1)  obj~>width=0.15)
      (CCFeq(obj~>width 0.15) obj~>width=0.2)
      (CCFeq(obj~>width 0.2)  obj~>width=0.3)
      (CCFeq(obj~>width 0.3)  obj~>width=0.1)
    )
  )
)

    If the object does not have a width, or if the width is not one of the known choices then it does not change the object, so there shouldn't be any inadvertent changes. Because the width is a floating point number we really should not be trying to check floating points for equality, so for this reason we use 'CCFeq' to test if a number is 'close enough'.

    I hope that it works and is what you are looking for.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

  • Thanks Lawrence and this is what I am looking for and now I can assign it to only one bindkey to toggle around. One thing I did not clarify is I do want the width to change to the next larger one if the width is not one of the known choices. For example, if the width is 0.16 I do want it to change to the next width which is 0.2.
  • Hi Ellie,

    Then you just need to change the 'cond' conditions to check for widths between the ranges, something like (obj~>width>=0.15 && obj~>width <=0.2 obj~>width = 0.2) and so on. Since the tests are < and > you should be ok, I've added the "=" in case the value matches exactly, though you may still see some undesired behaviour at (or very close to) those values.

    I hope it helps!

    Best regards,
    Lawrence.
  • It works and this is exactly what I need. Thanks a lot Lawrence!
  • I'd have done something like this

    width = cadr( assv( list( 0.1:0.15 0.15:0.2 0.2:0.3 0.3:0.1) ) )

    This would not have supported the second request though but I find this method handy for cycling the values.
