END OF DIMENSION D501

PT501 is a DMIS point, not a PCDMIS vector or surface point.
Have to leave them in program and not convert to a PCDMIS point.
I have a script the tests if a Cmd is a feature.
IF Cmd.IsFeature THen
Count = Count + 1.

PT501 is detected as a feature,
but the Cmd.IsFeature is detecting another feature incrementing
the counter when I don't want it incremented.

Would it be the MEAS/POINT,1/WORKPLANE that is considered
a feature and how would I test for that and not have the counter
incremented?

Hope that makes sense!

  • Thanks for your response Henniger123.
    I would only mark the point features/vector points I wanted changed.
    I the case of the programs I wanted to modify, vector points were added in certain areas,
    so the vector point feature names were changed to PT255A, PT255B, PT255C ETC , ETC.
    There might be 2000 points in the program that would intermittingly have sections
    of points added with the above type changes added. I wanted to mark all original and changed points
    and have them in numerical order.

    Also, thanks for the code change. Much more concise and elegant if I might add.
    That's the difference between an experienced programmer (yourself) and a novice (myself)

    Thanks again.

  • I once made a script that would order everything in numerical order by type just in case I skipped a bunch of feature name eg. PNT4... skipped a few... PNT32 the script would renumber all features with PNT[n] in order eg. PNT4... PNT5... and so on. It was a pet peeve of mine that PcDmis would throw numbers off if you created features and then deleted them (and other reasons I don't recall right now) and tried to recreate them. Unfortunately I left all that work at my last place of employment, I'm sure I can recreate it but I no longer have a seat of PcDmis handy to work on.
