Adding text blocks

archive

Does anyone know how to add new text blocks in Skill without calling a script? I am running an interactive command so calling a script is not an option.
axlSetParam doesn't allow me to add a text block although I can alter existing text block parameters this way (despite the documentation).

  • I don't know if this will work in an interactive command but you might want to try,

    1. Export a plot file containing recognizable text
    2. Import the plot file scaled (this will create new text blocks)
    3. Find the recognizable text
    4. Get the text block number of the text
    5. Modify text block as needed

    Of course all of this needs to be done using scripts...


    Another way could be to use a script to change the text block and put a command to restart your interactive procedure. (The trick is finding a way to save your data from one instance of the command to the other using attachments)
