Thanks to @liukov.dobriev and his script from this threat.
Although I’m fully newbie to scripting, lately I was trying to modify it a bit it can capture selected view (Top/Front/Right).
However, since the script use rectangle’s X,Y to define its size. It no longer works when the view plane is not on XY plane…
Any idea and help will be appreciated!

not an expert in scripting, but looks like you want to change these two variables that get the XY size of the frame:
if you are in Top view, then X Y are ok as they represent the following:
if for instance you want to get the right view, then you’ll need the Y Z dimensions
so the code might be something like this:

Hi @inno Thnkas for the reply,
Yes I’ve been aware the XYZ issue when the views are different.
So I guess the script has to be more intuitive.
For example,
if view=Top, px, py = set(frame.X), set(frame.Y)
if view=Front, px, py = set(frame.X), set(frame.Z)
if view=Right, px, py = set(frame.Y), set(frame.Z)
So I somewhat modified the script as show below.
Note that the input curve is meant to parallel to the correspond view plane.
As I mentioned at first I’m really new to scripting…all I did is shuffle and messing around in the script.
One thing I noticed is Redraw in the script seems take a bit of time.
Please give any suggestion or thought if anywhere I can improve, I’ll be very appreciated.
