I came to a similar conclusion after spending time with the text files that were output and trying to come up with a way to display them in a useful way to the operator. I've updated my VCarve Pro's ShopBot post processor to pass the tool name and then modified my ShopBot controller Manual Tool Chan...

My gadget can read the currently open .crv file name via
-- what I'd _really_ like is the full path to the open file so that I can write a text file into that directory and write out a bit of related text based on my gadget's action.

I've done the copy/paste with no issues -- you do run the risk of missing an update to one of the gadgets you use that may have been needed for the new version -- Caveat Emptor.

Heeheehee, I'm _sure_ that _none_ of you would ever forget to do this, but some of us (me) are a little slow on the uptake, so I thought I'd post this as a reminder to myself the next time I spend a couple of hours barking at the computer.... When upgrading to a new version of the software and expec...

Did you remember to copy the mobdebug.lua file into the new directory? A "friend" just spent a couple of hours barking at his computer after upgrading to VCarve Pro 9.5. His gadget stopped working with the message "attempt to load nil". After some negotiation with the computer gods (in a rather loud...

I can't find anything regarding the creation of a .vgadget packaging file. I suspect it is right in front of me in the docs, or on this forum somewhere, but I have been wholly unable to find it (Mr. Google and Ms. Search This Forum came up empty for me). Can someone please point me in the right dire...

Ugh. Found answer to above (RTFM) -- sorry for the noise.

The only reference I've found in the API documentation for selecting vectors is: (from Profile_Vectors_On_Layer.lua) -- select all closed vectors on the layer if not SelectVectorsOnLayer(layer, selection, true, false, true) then DisplayMessageBox("No closed vectors found on layer " .. layer_name) re...

I've built a gadget to help reduce steps and to gain precision and time. I've gotten the lines drawn, now I would like to add some text to the layer I've drawn into (ala Draw Text tool). I don't see anything in the API documentation about this. Is it possible to do from a Lua script?

Many thanks Adrian!! You were dead on -- I'm able to generate tabs with abandon!!

I have developed a fairly simple gadget that creates a new layer and then adds a contour generated from a series of LineTo commands that completes at the starting point, leaving a closed line object. What I would dearly like to add to this is the ability to add tabs at very specific locations on the...
