[Bf-committers] replacement for DXF-importer script
hi, a new DXF-importer based on "dxfgrabber" library is under development by Lukas Treyer: https://bitbucket.org/treyerl/io_import_scene_dxf/overview He has been working on it since December and with minimal support from me he was able to complete it quite well. I am going with him over bugfix iterations and can confirm it very good level of completeness and stability. Lukas is going to continue the development and support bugfixing in the future too. This is great! I can recommend his version as replacement for the official (very limited) importer for the next Blender release (2.71) and I will upload it to main repository if you agree :) DXF importer manual page on blender wiki will be updated shortly. thanks migius ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

It seems Blender 2.71 does not run on older Windows (tested on XP) without VC2013-Redistributable.

Re: [Bf-committers] Make Parent - shouldn't it work differently?
Hi Bartek, there is a "non-exposed"(a shame!) feature in parenting routine: For non-inverse-mode press Shift-Ctrl-P instead. This creates an alternative parent-child-relationship where child-objects exist entirely in parent coordinate system. This is the better choice for CAD purposes for example. cheers migius ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

[Bf-committers] API: How to get a list of running scripts?
hi all, I am looking for a method for conditional start of a script only if no instance of it is running already. How to get a list of running scripts through API? thanks in advance, migius ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
Re: [Bf-committers] API: How to get a list of running scripts?
Dima, yes, i meant Python API, and particularly 2.49 API. Global variables (like Blender.myvariable) are perfect for script-to-script communication but there seems to be no way to update/delete them when the script cancels unexpectedly (by user_cancel or by errors). 2012/4/11 Dima Glibitsky : > Do you mean the Python API?

Re: [Bf-committers] API: How to get a list of running scripts?
Dima, > perhaps you can pass all the relevant data to the new instance of the > script (which would continue the job), and the old one would shut down > itself? i use something similar already, but this is not the issue. The problem stays (2.49 and 2.6x API): how to prevent user and other scripts to start next instances of running scripts. As i said before, setting a global variable as indicator of running script fails: if the script suddenly collapses there is no way to alter the variable automatically - the variable continues to indicate running status what is false. > For what reasons are you still using 2.49, by the way? > I like 2.49 for stability, decent system requirements (building/developing/usage) and good performance on old hardware (like my old portable, hehe). And for its python API. I am prototyping a CAD system and 2.49 is more than enough for this job: www.cad4arch.com/cadtools/ I have planed to migrate to 2.5x, but the new UI and API are quite different and effectively still kind of restricted in compare to 2.49 version. The combination of unified API and python driven UI is a great concept and an opportunity to create a number of easily switchable specialized UI-s for beginners, filmmakers, animators, game-developers, engineers, scientists, musicians... even in 2.25 or 2.49 style, but unfortunately the current implementation does not allow it. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
