Hello everyone,
I have a little but annoying problem with aliases in rhino 7
I often need to extend multiple different surfaces edges, selected one by one, so instead of repeat the ExtendSrf command every time, I saved an alias with an asterisk " ! *_ExtendSrf "
It works well until I quit Rhino, when I restart it and try to use the same alias it says " Unknown command *_ExtendSrf " and all I can do is delete the alias and rewrite it
Anyone know why this happens?
Yeah, I see that happening here, but I donāt know whyā¦
Hi Mattia -
That seems to work fine with
*ExtendSrf
-wim
Thank you for the replies
Seems to work properly just by deleting the " ! "
*_ExtendSrf
Doesnāt work at all with regional commands
*EstendiSrf
Hi Mattia - ā!ā is a ācancelā command designed to stop any running commands, so no, the repeater cannot work with that.
That seems not to be the case, now that Iāve actually tested -
! *_ExtendSrf
works fineā¦ Clearly there is more to thisā¦
-Pascal
It actually does in some cases thoughā¦
Darn. Checkingā¦
-Pascal
I think I have one ! _*Line that always works.
Ah, yeah! but not with input in the macro - say *_Line 0 And, you know, I did not test this earlier, but
! *_ExtendSrf
Works just fine here as a repeater.
-Pascal
It actually works fine once here, but stops working later.
Oiā¦ this feels like iot will be hard to track down - so far, in my tests atleast, it just worksā¦
Mitch, I can repeat the intermittent thing you showed in the clip. Thanks.
My guess of the moment is that *ExtendSrf does not launch the plug-in that contains the command; once the command runs normally once, the plug-in is loaded and it all works.
@Lightafuncool - it does seem to work correctly if the macro uses the explicit command _Repeat in place of the * character,
! _Repeat _ExtendSrf
RH-71490 Repeat command inconsistency
-Pascal
Didnāt know about the _Repeat command
It does seem to work properly
Thank you !
