Here’s my real quickie halfarsed as can be macro for creating 2 points for use in mitch’s measurement script, and to use as reference points in the subcrv command.
The right click macro is for deleting the reference points.
The image is for the button. Real bad, but might get the job done.
The quickie button can go with your subcrv button, mitch’s script, etyc. Then just left click, make points, run mitch’s script using the ref points, and make subcrv with ref points, then right click button to delete the ref points.
Subcrv Ref pts
Left click
tooltip: SbCrv Ref Pts
! _point
pause
_sellast
_setobjectname pt49g5
_point
pause
_sellast
_setobjectname pt50g5
right click
tooltip: Delete Sbcrv Ref pts
! _-selname pt49g5
_delete
_-selname pt50g5
_delete
So, with three buttons next to each other. Subcrv 2 pts, mitch’s length between points script, and subcrv button would work pretty good in deciding lengths to split into subcrv’s.
Workflow1: make the proposed points, then use subcrv using those points Right click button to delete points
Workflow 2: make 2 points, use mitch’s script to measure distance between them, adjust your lengths how you see fit, enter length in subcurve dialog, keep or delete points with right click on button.
If you were playing with different lengths for a subcrv, the tiny little button with the 2 macros might come in handy.
I know, pathetic, overboard, and unneccessary!
