----------------------------------- Background ----------------------------------- It’s difficult to work with _History _Lock=Yes enabled. The general workflow is as follows: Create history enabled geometry with _Lock=Yes Save a version with full history Switch to _Lock=No to join surfaces and…

@EricM , Thanks for sharing the screen recording. I added the Youtrack issues below. [image] EricM: -dodgeRecord - The unnamed dodge record history function gets a name so it’s scriptable RH-56397 History: Add a toggle command or option for Recording History [image] EricM: -dodgeLock - n…

[image] EricM: I thought RH-56272 was for adding ‘]’ as a one-shot for lock children, but I see it was for adding the history one-shots to the scripting man page. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-56344 This issue is added for one-shot locking/unlocking children.

@KelvinC Pascal showed me a few things and I’ve been playing with this. Trying to record a video to show you. With the Record History field I’ve highlighted with the arrow, RMB brings up the menu. What do you call it for the LMB that does a one shot dodge on next command? Is that accessible from…

@EricM [image] EricM: What do you call it for the LMB that does a one shot dodge on next command? Is that accessible from the command line? There is not a name for the action. It’s not scriptable either. What would you like to do with scripting it? Can you provide an example? Thanks.

[image] EricM: What do you call it for the LMB that does a one shot dodge on next command? You want to turn off History for the next command? In a macro it’s using a % in front of the command. You could make a button with %\ The percent sign turns off the history for the next command, and …

@KelvinC After using pascal’s tips I would like to change the request. This will be a lot more useful. Instead of the prefix, please: -dodgeRecord - The unnamed dodge record history function gets a name so it’s scriptable -dodgeLock - nestable command that can be called before or during a comm…

[image] KelvinC: can I mark RH-56344 obsolete? Absolutely. I think the revised requests will make the ‘Lock Workflow’ much easier for people to adopt.

RH-56396 is fixed in the latest WIP

I saw these get assigned to @GregArden (Hi Greg) The youtrack descriptions for some of these are fairly vague. Plus I’ve spent another year working exclusively with _Lock=Yes, so I think it’s worth updating. RH-56344 (1st Priority) I told Kelvin this was a duplicated request, but I was wrong. …

[image] EricM: RH-56344 (1st Priority) I told Kelvin this was a duplicated request, but I was wrong. Can this be marked active and given to Greg? For the sake of consistency, we need one-shot dodge scripting prefixes for Locked Children to go with the existing “#” and “%” prefixes for Record H…

[image] EricM: This is a top priority due to issues with commands that allow editing. Like_BlendCrv is broken again . https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-62398 I submitted a new bug report for fixing this problem in BlendCrv and BlendSrf. Thanks.
