Hello everyone,
To split connectors at their intersection, I found that this feature is not provided in pointwise and a script was developed to do so. 'splitconsatintersection.glf'. The issue is that the script failed to launch for me. I tried with a simple two segment connectors and it still failed to launch.
I'm working with P 17.2 R1.

Did someone faced the issue before ? Thanks for the help

This is what I got in the messages screen:

Hey Fouad,
you can simply use the second connector when splitting the first one, and vice versa.
Not automatic, but it works.

Thanks for the reply coupsdebambous.

I believe this is a script I wrote for one of Pointwise's customers who requested this functionality while we were at a conference. It was written for Pointwise v18.0 and later, and the getSelectedEntities Glyph call that is throwing an error indicates it is using an option to getSelectedEntities that wasn't supported in earlier versions of Pointwise. I would recommend upgrading, not just for compatibility with this script, but for all of the new capabilities, bug fixes, and enhancements that have been added over the past 5 or so years.


Otherwise, I would look at your Glyph manual for your version of Pointwise, and see whether an alternative approach could be used at this line. You may be able to comment out this line entirely. It's using some logic to determine whether the user has selected two connectors already, and if so, then skip prompting the user to select two connectors.
