_Dot unknown command

(6.0.15349.15421, 15.12.2015)

Is _Dot replaced by some other command?

Hey Charles - _Dot seems to be working here in 15421… --Mitch

Hi Mitch,

no luck in here.
This is seen in the command area when Rhino was fresh started:

RhinoCycles 6.0.15349.15421
Command: _Dot
Unknown command: _Dot

The dot itself seems to work when

Command: _EvaluatePt
Point to evaluate ( Label=On  Style=Dot ):

The dot is quite ugly, but there.

-C-H-A-R-L-E-S-

Do the Text or Point commands work? --Mitch

Yes, and so do the other dimension-related tools…
only _Dot is nasty.

-C-H-A-R-L-E-S-

Dot is in that Commands plug-in. Is that plug-in disabled? Another command in the commands plug-in is Circle. Does circle work?

Yep, that’s why I asked about Text and Point working - also in “Commands”… Seems those are working for him.

Circle works:

Command: _Circle
Center of circle ( Deformable  Vertical  2Point  3Point  Tangent  AroundCurve  FitPoints ):
Radius <7.800> ( Diameter  Orientation  Circumference  Area ):
Command: _-Dot
Unknown command: _-Dot

I am completely at a loss at the moment why this would be happening on your computer. Have you restarted Rhino?

Steve, sure I restarted.
Do you want me to check something else?

System language thing? Looks like the Rhino is in English, but is the system in German? --Mitch

Rhino is set to German, but comes up in English/German mixed:

In the plug-in manager, right click on the Commands plug-in and look at the command list. Is Dot in there?

No:
Couldn’t find _Dot or Dot.

Yes:

And ‘Anmerkungspunkt’ works:

But not _Dot:

Aha! that points me to what the problem is. I’ll try to get this fixed today
Thanks!

This should be fixed in the next WIP

Kind of fixed…

Try the predefined dots:
