source and destination wire type change

Hi Guys

After you have completed your source and destiantion arrow, if you change the source wire type it does not update the destination wire type.

 

it would be really nice if we didnt have to manually change the destination to match the source if the wre type changes

 

Thanks

Ian

I asked for a "yes to all" / "skip all" button for this dialog when testing the AcadE 2024 beta 2 years ago. It was, just like this "ideas forum", ignored by adsk.

I don’t know what else to tell you. I’ve never experienced that popup unless it was legitimate. And that popup was my idea.  I started requesting it when release 2007 was out. It was eventually added.  I’ve had numerous requests honored. But they have to get enough votes on the Idea Station.

Hello again Doug.

 

I've made a list of your ideas from this forum, all valid requests that would've made AcadE a better program.

A whopping 4 out of 66(65) ideas have been implemented. This means that 94% of your ideas has been ignored. So, I'm not sure what you mean by "numerous". You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own truth, and you should be held accountable for what you write.

 

By doing this I also became aware of a couple of things.

 

1. It's not about the votes. The 4 that were implemented isn't even NEAR the most popular requests

2. It's been 6 years since you last posted a request. Did you give up on getting your ideas implemented? 

3. Do you see the irony of you asking for so many improvements?

 

The list: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/znrgiojdpipysajlxzaud/Doug-s-Ideas.xlsx?rlkey=s7izmp1cve1gxve5f58dwk3...

 

Will you also ignore this, just as you have ignored most other messages from me?

You can try the line below. Not sure what else is affected, but it does seem to suppress the prompt for a synch check dialog when you edit a SRC arrows SIGCODE.

 

I found this by using the AutoCAD “atoms-family” command, getting a list of all defined functions, and finding one that had the text substring “SYNCWIRETYPE”. Then experimenting to find the number of arguments it needed, and then fake in a redefinition of the function to just return nil.

 

You can test in your environment on the active drawing by entering the one line of code below at your command line prompt. Then try editing a SRC arrow’s SIGCODE value. See if this bypasses display of the wire type sync check dialog.

 

(defun wd_sig_src_aesyncwiretype_chk ( arg1 arg2 / ) (princ " (Note: wire type synch chk forced OFF\n") nil)

 

If this works, create a simple lisp file that includes the above and add it to your APPLOAD Start-up Suite.
