This is more like it, forget the old Dotted lines stuff, let's start again.
There is one important thing to remember here, like the VEngrave plugin, if you save a file with Dashed Lines in it, you can not load it into CamBam if the Dashed Lines plugin is not installed. That is just common sense, nothing to do with me or the plugin.
Features:
1. select one or more polylines,
go to,
Main menu -> Edit -> Convert To -> Dashed Lines
Right click context menu -> Edit -> Convert To -> Dashed Lines
Choose the gap size and line type.
2. If you don't like the look of the converted line, repeat the process and choose new settings
3. Dashed Lines can be edited like polylines but you have to select the line and right click to get the menu, double clicking the line will not work.
4. Files containing Dashed Lines can be Saved and Loaded as you would with any other file, the only constraint being that the files cannot be loaded into a CamBam that does not have the Dashed Lines plugin installed.
Version 1 attached plus a test file.
Several improvements are in development.
Bubba, I need you to test this
Remember to remove the old Dotted Lines plugin first (and throw it in the bin)Edit:
Update added v2
1. Translation code added
2. Information in the Entity Tag: is no longer required for the plugin to work
3. Editable parameters, see picture.
Click in the box and change these values, the Dashed Polyline will update to the new settings.
If you enter a number < 1 for DotLineStyle, it will default to 1
If you enter a number > 3 for DotLineStyle, it will default to 3
If you enter a minus number or zero for Spacing, it will default to 1
Edit:
updated to v3
1. Converts directly to DotPolylines; polylines, polyrectangles, circles, arcs, without having to convert to Polylines first.
2. Improved the look of Line Style 2 (dot/dash). Note: the enhancement will also be applied to any older files previously saved. This is becasue the cb file does not include details of how the line will be drawn.
Edit:
updated to v4
1. new line styles added
2. new menu form added
3. It's also possible to select more than one line and change the 'Spacing' and/or 'DotLineStyle' of all of them by editing the parameter value.
4. Translation code included
Edit:
updated to v5
1. It is now possible to use the mouse double click method to edit a DotPolyline.
