Yet another block manager for BricsCAD

[Danielm103]

I posted this at the swamp, this is pretty cool

 

Proof of concept (V25, V26, V27Beta)

- appload BrxBlockManXX.brx

- type blockman at the prompt

- select a drawing from the directory control

- double click or drag a block from the List control to the current drawing

- double click the main preview to insert the whole drawing

- click the open folder button to add your favorite folder(s)

- use the dropdown to navigate to a favorite folder

- right click on a dwg to open it

 

let me know if it crashes lol

 

edit, posted the source and binaries here https://github.com/CEXT-Dan/BrxBlockMan

downloaded zip

copied v25.brx and src to a known support path

Appload

D:\Alan\LISP\BrxBlockMan25.brx successfully loaded.

Type blockman and nothing happens ?

 

Any ideas, running twin screens ??

You should see a version number on the command line. It’s a panel, it should sit next to the properties panel, right click on Bricscads task bar and look for the new panel

Also, make sure the xrc file is in the same folder, if you moved the BRX

My Bricscad after appload, yes brx and xrc are in a support path. I moved that path to top of support path list. Then appload. Version V25.2.06 

 

 

I checked the download files and looked at properties and ticked off the "Unlock" file as this sometimes does what it says. 

 

I have tried unloading and that fails not sure why.

 

Sent you a pm with my email.

@Danielm103 has updated the code and its running under Bricscad and is very impressive, I am sure the updated code will be posted here soon.

Wonderful!

 

Thanks for testing and for your valuable feedback! I'll add the carriage return after Insertion Point:

I’m also considering making the rotation and scale options on screen, I’m still on the fence about that
