Hi,
I am looking for a script, which transforms a connector. Journaling gives me the following - but this is really cumbersome ![]() Code:
################################################ pw::Application clearClipboard pw::Application setClipboard[list $_CN(23) $_CN(24)] pw::Application markUndoLevel {Copy} set _TMP(mode_1) [pw::Application begin Paste] set _TMP(PW_1) [$_TMP(mode_1) getEntities] set _TMP(mode_2) [pw::Application begin Modify $_TMP(PW_1)] pw::Entity transform [pwu::Transform translation [pwu::Vector3 subtract[list 0 0 -3][list 3.592982456140399e-5 1.0950441942103595e-17 0.0]]] [$_TMP(mode_2) getEntities] $_TMP(mode_2) end unset _TMP(mode_2) $_TMP(mode_1) end unset _TMP(mode_1) ############################################### Thanks for your help ![]() Vanessa |

Here's it cleaned up with a comment for each step:
Code:
package require PWI_Glyph 2.17 ## TRANSLATE COPIED CONNECTOR 3 units in the z-dir ## # modify for your script set cons [pw::Grid getByName "con-1"] # begin point of translation set pt1 "0 0 0" # end point of translation set pt2 "0 0 3" ## START COPY/PASTE/TRANSLATE ## # make sure clipboard is empty pw::Application clearClipboard # copy connectors to clipboard pw::Application setClipboard $cons # create paste mode set mode(paste) [pw::Application begin Paste] # store copied connectors set xformCons [$mode(paste) getEntities] # copied connectors modify mode set mode(mod) [pw::Application begin Modify $xformCons] # translation vector set transVect [pwu::Vector3 subtract $pt2 $pt1] # translation matrix set xformMatrix [pwu::Transform translation $transVect] # translate copied connectors pw::Entity transform $xformMatrix $xformCons # end modify mode $mode(mod) end # end paste mode. copied connectors now translated $mode(paste) end When you script some commands and don't understand the methods used, find it the documentation. Most have examples. -Chris Last edited by cnsidero; June 2, 2014 at 10:38. |

Hi Vanessa:
Chris has already answered your question. But keep in mind that while journaling is a good learning tool, it does things primarily to ensure the script can be played back. Therefore, it looks a lot more complex than one you'd write yourself.
