3ds Max :: Visual Icons Instead Of Text Buttons?
Sep 17, 2011
Is it possible to change the so outdated text buttons in my "Create" panel with visual icons for easier identifying. Haven't you ever been so frustrated reading trough a pile of text just to click your desired object type instead of the more streamlined way of just clicking an icon? The brain perceives and makes out visual data faster than reading text. I can't believe that it has not been implemented yet. It's the 21st century for crying out loud!
Here's my idea: [URL] ...
How to do this and replace them with icons? May be a script or something?

Have any of you ever came across any good sites that teaches you how to design icons, buttons and glyph in general for the web?

I would like to build a custom button that mimics the FDO - Save as AutoCAD drawing functionality. Clicking this button brings up a wizard with too many clicks for how often the users will do it.
They will not want to load a script so a custom button is required. Also, I need to be able to dynamically set the new saved file name based on the source DWG file name.

Before I get to my problem, let me give you a brief description of our environment. I recently created a custom GUI for my company that uses mostly macros to insert blocks. This gui is loaded as a partial into the machine.
Now, personally I don't like going back and forth between 3 tabs all day long, and I can get the bulk of the panels/tools I use (whether they were from ACAD or my own partial CUI) all into tab. I create the new tab, and drag and drop any panels I want from ACAD & the partial into this new tab. Then I customize my workspace and add the tab. I have a problem though with some of the icons from my partial coming in blurry, and I can't seem to fix it.
I've tried everything I can think of. The steps I've tried are:
Going to the CUI, selecting the command (under MEP, not my partial name), deleting the icons for both large & small icons, then re-linking them. Didn't workSame as above, but rather than deleting the icons, I edit the icon, and import the one I want to replace it with. Still doesn't work.Same as above, but tried clicking on the icon directly and selecting import. I've attached 2 pictures.
I'm using a 22" monitor, and have more horizontal room and no tabs are being collapsed.
I added another attachment to show the Lutron wires from the partial. This attachment is "partial icons2"

I have some my own Icons on my Toolbar in Autocad that prepared by myself,
I can define tooltip for those icons by "Description" property of icons in CUI.
but the limitation is: I will have just single-line and simple tooltips!
so, how can I define multi-line tooltips for my own icons? or even graphical tooltip?!
should I use "Zammel" language?

Back in the day, there was an application that showed the drawing version # in the icon in windows explorer. That was good for then, because of the lack of object data in many of the vertices. The link I have isn't valid anymore and it didn't work in Win7.
What I'd like to have is something that will show the different Acad versions related to the icon using the product ID, for example:
ACAD-5xxx = 2007
ACAD-6xxx = 2008
ACAD-7xxx = 2009
ACAD-8xxx = 2010
ACAD-9xxx = 2011
then in 2012 they changed to Axxx
2013 = Bxxx (???) I dont' have 2013 loaded
2014 = Dxxx (what happened to Cxxx?)
With the lack of backward compatibility between versions for objects (and I totally get that), it would be nice to be able to tell by an icon which version was used to create the drawing. I know the version information is stored in the header, which can be read, I'm just not a programmer.

I made a button for my personal website, along with a "header" graphic. Nothing fancy, but I'm wondering how to center text in the middle of a circle I made. For example, I made a circle and want to put a D in it.

I am trying to make an active button using the Create-Buttons-Round Button Script Fu menu item. I then select the colours I want, select Active and Pressed, and then hit create. The buttons look perfect, except for one thing ..I need the buttons without the Text. But if I enter no text in the text box when creating the button, I get this error:
Quote Error while executing script-fu-round-button: Error: ( : 1) Procedure execution of gimp-image-select-rectangle failed on invalid input arguments: Procedure 'gimp-image-select-rectangle' has been called with value '-1.500000' for argument 'width' (#5, type gdouble). This value is out of range.

I have an Ergodex DX1 keyboard and I'm wanting to document the layout of the keys for the various games I use it with. So, I need to generate up to 50 buttons with labels and then move and rotate them into position for each game. I would like to put the key number really small in one corner, the keyboard key assigned to it, small, in another corner, and then the then the function within the game, larger, and close to the center.
I've built blanks for the buttons, with space for those three pieces of information. But getting the text lined up time after time is a bit tedious.What is the easiest process for placing text consistently when dealing with dozens of buttons?
I envision something similar to a macro, that loads the blank and then positions the text tool for the first field, with some way to trigger the jump to the next field. I suppose a macro for each field would be simple enough.

I have like nearly a hundred generic buttons I need to make. The size of the button is the same only the centered text needs to be changed for each. It seems silly to have to copy/paste/output them from my text file one by one. I did some Google hunting but don't think im using the right keywords to find what im looking for. Anyone have any advice or links to learning about automating this process in PS CS2?

I've installed my new windows CS6, all my .psd files have the 'generic icons' windows give to files they don't recognize. Everything else has normal icons (i.e. Illustrator files) but the Photoshop files are blank. This is true whether I'm on any type of viewer format, i.e. details, thumbnails.

Short of converting to an add-in is there any way to place macro's into toolbars where you can set the Text of the button to something other than the macro name?
I mean, while to those who write them, there's nothing wrong (really) with a command button titled Invoke_This_Fuction or InvokeFunction, it looks quite odd to everyone else.
If the only way is via add-in, that's fine (though a friendly display name should be an option). Just trying to find out before I spend a boatload of time only to figure out you can't
Also, do all add-ins 'have' to be installed? Or is there a way you can just drop a file in the correct path and it'll appear on next running of Inventor?

I'm trying to follow along with a video at Lynda.com on AI CS6.However, in the video, Deke McClelland is showing the TEXT "Align" on the top Control Panel.On my screen, it's not a text, but a small icon. When I click it, I don't get the same options he does.
I've searched and searched and can't find how to get MY screen to look like his. I have even tried to "Reset Essentials" (the workspace he's using) and still no luck.

I have CS6 and I can not see the names, eyeball icons, lock icons and arrow icons in the Layers Palette. I see that the layers are there and when I hover my mouse over the layers the names and icon show up but they disappear once I click off the layers palette.

Architecture 2009 running on Windows 7. Dell Precision T5400 with a Quadro FX570 graphics card.
I have lately been having some issues with text in Architecture 2009. I first noticed that within Mtext, when you hit the "UPPERCASE" or "lowercase" buttons, the text disappears in the editor, and no changes are made. Not the end of the world, but not handy.
Then it stopped letting me type in Mtext boxes at all. The return key seemed to work, but nothing else. Then it started converting text typed into Mtext boxes into (I think) Chinese characters. Really not handy. At this point I decided to try to reinstall. First I tried a repair, then reinstalled over the existing installation, then uninstalled completely and reinstalled from the disk. I've also done a windows restore, though as this has slowly been falling apart, I'm not sure when I should restore back to.
I have Mtext basic functionality back, but the "UPPERCASE" and "lowercase" buttons still make the text disappear.
Not sure if it's related, but I also get a Fatal Error e06d7363h at 758bd36fh about 4 or 5 times a day. Usually it's associated with the open command (ctrl+o), but sometimes it just happens at random.

I want to know is there any formula/calculation for the width of text object before creation/insertion? At now I used approximated width size via a simple .
(Defun GetStrWidth (str H W) (fix (*(* H W) (strlen str))));;usage: (GetStrWidth "This is a Text." 2.5 0.8);;H: TextHeight; W: width factor.
I know that for the existed text in drawing I can use textbox command, but for the texts that has not been created, what can I do? Is there any formula/calculation depends on font name, text height and width factor?

A program that prompts:"select objects:" then I can select some objects like as text, line, circle,... after that program find all texts in selected items and swap text
swap means: xxx/yyy ===> yyy/xxx ; "/" is a divisor
swap function for one text is here:
(defun c:swap ( / pos ent el txt)
(vl-load-com)
(if(null #div#)(setq #div# "/"))
(setq #div#
(if(=(setq tmp(getstring(strcat "
Divisor character: <"#div#"> ")))"")
#div# tmp
)
[Code]....
but I want a program to prompt me like this:
(prompt "Select objects:")(terpri)
(setq a (ssget '((0 . "TEXT"))))
and gets divisor char </>:
after that:
(setq n (sslength a))
(repeat n
....
)
repeats n times, n=number of texts in my selection
