non-uniform scale after inserting

[dgomez.189897]

Hi,

I am trying to insert blocks and change the scale factor only on the X-axis using the following piece of code:

(command "-insert" blc_emp "x" "1.22293" pti "1" "1" "0")

it doesn't work and I can't understand why. Any of you guys know why or if it is done in a different way?

Thanks
D

It looks like when you type in your x scale factor, then after the insertion point all you need to answer is the rotation prompt. So try

(command "-insert" blc_emp "x" "1.22293" pti "0")

I am working with an existing routine... those "1" "0" "1" came from another insertion in the routine...for some reason, yes, it was rotating the block "1" degree but it is not doint it for the other block insertions....?

somehow, the scale part, (didnt have to do with the rotation been 0 or 1) is working now. I used a previous version and wrote the code as I posted it... and it's working...

thanks!

In the previous code they probably didn't specify the scale like you are. If you don't specify the scale where you do, then the prompts after the insertion point are for; x scale, y scale, and rotation.

You're welcome.

If you have problems with items with command calls, you can test them on the command line and see how to answer the prompts.

you know, that's what I thought about the "1" "1" "0" deal. And I remember seeing that when using the command line to check the steps.

but now, I go to the command line and use the "_insert" command, pops up the window, I choose the block, insertion point...and then it asks me for rotation and not the "x, y, rotation" order...

To use commands on the command line; enter the command with a hyphen in front of it, and if it has a command line version then it will execute it without the dialog. So try "-insert".

[dgomez.189897]

yes man, the problem is that when I write "i" or "_insert" not "-insert", it still asks me first for rotation and not for scale in "x" as you said and as I remember seeing...

[T.Willey]

I'm not sure what is going on then. Sorry I can't be of more help.

[dgomez.189897]

no worries.... and it is not a problem really, coz it's working...!

thanks man
