SetDimensionLayer command available on Mac?

Rhino

Is the SetDimensionLayer command available on Mac? My colleague on R6 Mac doesn’t seem to have it.

Also, is there a command to set Hatch layer?

Hello- that is a V7 thing…

No set hatch command in any version?

Hi -

Nope.

Could we put that on the list for WIP. Perhaps I’m ignorant, but that seems like an easy addition.

Hi -
Could you describe the workflow in which you create hatches? There are quite a few changes that are planned for Rhino 8 and that involve hatching and I’d like to understand the issue before this is thrown on the list for some future version of Rhino.

You may think I’m asking more than I really am? Some years ago, I discovered in AutoCAD that I could set the Hatch tool when selected to automatically switch to the Hatch layer. No matter what layer I was working with, selecting the Hatch tool made the Hatch layer current. In my work, being able to have that for Dimensions and Hatch would be nice. Small time savings, but useful to me.

if you want, it can be scripted (for the time being) to do this after the fact to organize your file. I have this scripted for dimensions, annotations and detail objects

Can you share the script?

I already did :wink:
it’s in my github page under layout tools: https://github.com/studiogijs/pythonscripts/tree/master/layout-tools
organize annotations and organize details, should be fairly easy to adapt for hatches

Thanks so much.
