SEANT Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 This is a 2015 upgrade to an existing app: https://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/AMECH/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aText-to-Geometry%3aen Much of the source code for this routine resides at theswamp.org. This version's source is available upon request. The code has had slight modifications from the 2012 - 2014 version, and, unfortunately, was rejected by the Exchange due to a terminal error. The error only occurred on systems where it was a first run, but would work on subsequent runs. I tracked it down to an initialization routine, and believe it now fixed. If anyone's willing - let me know what you think. STSC_TextToGeometry.bundle.zip Quote
BlackBox Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I'd be glad to test this out next week sometime. Perhaps it would be prudent to modify the thread name to indicate the App you're requesting others test, instead of what platform? Cheers Quote
SEANT Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 . . . . Perhaps it would be prudent to modify the thread name to indicate the App you're requesting others test, instead of what platform? . . . . Good point. It doesn't look like the thread title can be modified. I will give it another look, though, when I'm not all jacked up with excitement about an impending Superbowl. Quote

About to run out for groceries for the game myself as it happens. Cheers Quote
Cad64 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Let me know what the thread title should be and I'll change it for you. Quote

SEANT Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 No complaints so far - I'll assume 'no news is good news.' Unless something comes up, I'll re-submit this update to the Exchange this weekend. Quote
troggarf Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I love testing ad-ons for people Note: I did make sure to right click and "Unblock" the .dll files Here is the error I am getting after net loading your .dll on AutoCAD 2015 Command: NETLOAD Cannot load assembly. Error details: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\Greg\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\STSC_TextToGeometry.bundle\Contents\Support\STSC_Text2Geom_v19.dll' or one of its dependencies.

BlackBox Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hey Greg, Where on your network are you attempting to load the assembly from? More on enabling LoadFromRemoteSources in Acad.exe.config file here, which I haven't personally needed since 2011, or 2012: http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2011/07/loading-blocked-and-network-hosted-assemblies-with-net-4.html Cheers Quote
SEANT Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Greg, thanks for testing this for me. Ideally, with the use of the .Bundle format, a user would not have to Netload anything. Autodesk has set up the process such that any bundle found in a couple of specific locations (one being C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins) would have the pertinent DLLs loaded automatically (either at startup or upon command invocation). What happens if you type T2G, without using the netload command? Quote
GP_ Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 This is a 2015 upgrade to an existing app... Thank you Seant, works fine. Quote
SEANT Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Good to hear, GP_. I did not get to it in a timely manner, but thanks for the promo here: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?90936-How-to-curve-an-3d-object-around-arc-in-autocad&p=622640&viewfull=1#post622640 Incidentally, I'll be beta testing a 2015 update for that UV Vector Mapping routine shortly.

troggarf Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Sean, It is working now. The reason I was using net load was because I usually see a pop up saying that such-n-such plug-in has loaded and I didn't it when I copied your .bundle into its Application plugins folder. However, your ribbon panel did show up in the Add-ins ribbon. So I clicked on the icon and then got the error saying "Unknown command: _t2g"... So that is why I went ahead and used netload. I think that I simply needed to restart AutoCAD again for it to fully kick in. All is good now. But now you have to make one work for 2016 before it gets released. HAHA Thanks again, ~Greg Quote
SEANT Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 . . . . But now you have to make one work for 2016 before it gets released. HAHA . . . . I know. I've got to work harder/faster, lest I fall too far behind. I'm glad to hear you're up and running once again. Quote
rkent Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I was able to install on 2015 and it is working without any problems. I have only used it a few times so far. Quote
SEANT Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 So far, so good. With an impending Autodesk upgrade right around the corner, it may make sense to hold off re-submitting 'til then. Quote
SEANT Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 The Text to Geometry beta routine I have here can also be run in AutoCAD 2016 with a simple file switch. The file: Local Disk© - Users - - AppData - Roaming - Autodesk - ApplicationPlugins - STSC_TextToGeometry.bundle - PackageContents.xml must be replaced by the similarly named file in the attached ZIP. PackageContents.zip Quote
girgultesa Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hey! I ve got a problem whit this Zip archives, I dunno what should i do(?? after exact ?? )... should i copy somewhere or it is more complicated??? I hope you will able to help me although I m not a computer scientist, but an AutoCAD fanatic. Hope you help: -G- Quote
SEANT Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 ... should i copy somewhere or it is more complicated???. . . . Actually, it is that simple. The STSC_TextToGeometry.bundle folder should be placed in the Autodesk - ApplicationPlugins folder. See this thread for more details: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?90736-Wiki-thread-for-dealing-with-an-App.Bundle Quote
