hm toolbars

[tinh 742]

Hi all.

i made some hypermesh macros in form of "toolbar"

if you feel it interesting, please send me your mcid 

[NSKRTLUS 5]

Congratulations,it really looks so interesting 

[Guest]

Interesting! But if you could share us how to do that, it's even more interesting

Hiii Mr.Quy

to measure (diameter, surf-surf distance, ...) => click on corresponding toolbar buttons

pick a circle => it shows diameter and radius

pick 2 surfs => it shows distance

pick a surf then a line => it shows distance,

...

i add options to measure distance at closest position or picking position (ex. if in case 2 surfs or surf-line are not parallel)

[Guest]

No, I'm speaking about ...  TCL script, not its usage

[tinh 742]

 it's a secret!

i'll give a brief explain (actually difficult to explain fully in english, i am sorry)

- diameter measure: i used only command hm_getbestcircle, it return diameter value directly just in one click

- surf-surf measure: when click on surf, it creates a node at clicking position, the node then projected to alternative surf, projecting direction is not normal to the surf but make equally angle with each surf (so in case 2 surfs not parallel then => get correct distance)

- surf-line measure: similar to surf-surf, but temp node will be created on line, it then projected normally to surf (to find normal distance) and hm_getdistancefromnearest on surf to get true distance

- line-line measure: similar to surf-surf, but after temp node created on a line, a closest position from it on the alternative line will be get (hm_getdistancefromnearest)

- segment-segment (used when measuring height of a bead): i do some vector operations to find common perpendicular line of the two segment, length of it is distance between 2 segments, with option "extended closest postion" then this value is reported, in case of "closest position" it is compared to relative position between 2 segments ( as edge-to-edge contact calculation)

Thank you!

I'm looking for a sample code to create a customized toolbar like yours. I searched within HM's documents but I found nothing for this moment

Hii Mr.Quy

below is code to make my toolbar

actually create toolbar can be done as in "hmsettings.tcl" file. but i modify something to fix errors when starting hm or first invoking to the functions

proc ::nvtb:_DestroyToolBar {ToolBarName} {

	if {[winfo exists ._ViviToolBar-$ToolBarName]} {

		destroy ._ViviToolBar-$ToolBarName

	}

	foreach window [winfo children .] {

		if {[string match *.minibartoplevel* $window]} {

			foreach window2 [winfo children $window] {

				if {[string match *ViviToolBar-$ToolBarName* $window2]} {

					destroy $window

					break

				}

			}

		}

	}

}

proc ::nvtb:_CreateMeasurementToolBar {} {

	::HM_Framework:_CreateMinibar . ViviToolBar-Measurement HyperMesh:HyperMesh:_blank

	::HM_Framework:_SetMinibarIconList ViviToolBar-Measurement [list \

	[list [list p_CreateMinibarIcon [file join $::nvtb::v_ImageDir MeasureCircleDiameter-24.png 	] "if {!\[namespace exists ::nvtb\]} {source \"$::nvtb::v_InfoScript\"; ::nvtb:_MeasureCircleDiameter   } else {::nvtb:_MeasureCircleDiameter   }" {Circle Diameter} 1]	] \

	[list [list p_CreateMinibarIcon [file join $::nvtb::v_ImageDir MeasureDistanceSurfSurf-24.png 	] "if {!\[namespace exists ::nvtb\]} {source \"$::nvtb::v_InfoScript\"; ::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceSurfSurf } else {::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceSurfSurf }" {Surf-Surf Distance} 1]	] \

	[list [list p_CreateMinibarIcon [file join $::nvtb::v_ImageDir MeasureDistanceSurfLine-24.png 	] "if {!\[namespace exists ::nvtb\]} {source \"$::nvtb::v_InfoScript\"; ::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceSurfLine } else {::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceSurfLine }" {Surf-Line Distance} 1]	] \

	[list [list p_CreateMinibarIcon [file join $::nvtb::v_ImageDir MeasureDistanceLineLine-24.png 	] "if {!\[namespace exists ::nvtb\]} {source \"$::nvtb::v_InfoScript\"; ::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceLineLine } else {::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceLineLine }" {Line-Line Distance} 1]	] \

	[list [list p_CreateMinibarIcon [file join $::nvtb::v_ImageDir MeasureDistanceSegmSegm-24.png 	] "if {!\[namespace exists ::nvtb\]} {source \"$::nvtb::v_InfoScript\"; ::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceSegmSegm } else {::nvtb:_MeasureDistanceSegmSegm }" {Segment-Segment Distance} 1]	] \

	[list [list p_CreateMinibarIcon options-24.png 													  "if {!\[namespace exists ::nvtb\]} {source \"$::nvtb::v_InfoScript\"; ::nvtb:_Options                 } else {::nvtb:_Options                 }" {Options} 1													]	] \

	]

	::HM_Framework:_AddMinibarToDockframe ViviToolBar-Measurement .mainFrame.dockframe_top

	set ::HM_Framework::Minibar::ViviToolBar-Measurement:_status 1

}

proc ::nvtb:_CreatePullDownMenuForToolBar {ToolBarName} {

	#set menu [. cget -menu].view.toolbars

	set menu [hm_framework getpulldowns].view.toolbars

	if {[catch {$menu index ViviToolBar-${ToolBarName}}]} {

		$menu add checkbutton \

			-indicatoron 1 \

			-offvalue 0 \

			-onvalue 1 \

			-variable ::HM_Framework::Minibar::ViviToolBar-${ToolBarName}:_status \

			-command "::HM_Framework:_ToggleMinibar ViviToolBar-${ToolBarName}" \

			-label ViviToolBar-${ToolBarName} \

			-underline 0

		return 0

	} else {

		return 1

	}

Hi.. Would you please send me the code.. suresh.babuks@gmail.com

[surenagu 0]

Thanks for sharing.. Is this the complete code??

Thanks for sharing.. Is this the complete code??

 

Hi, below is complete code, after some persons used, i fix some bugs

now already 4 persons use it 

If you like, please send me your MCID, i just want to record number of users

[Karthi keyan 1]

Hi tinh,

 

What is the MCID?

 

and when i try to run this script it is also saying "COULD NOT VERIFY MCID".

 

What should i do?

Hi all

 

this second toolbar has auto-detect mesh features and help fast create some element patterns with less picking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[tinh 742]

Hi all

 

i finished set of 3 toolbars. Hope new hypermesh version will have new nicelooking ones

Hi tinh, could you please share this macro with me? It looks very interesting. Do you know if it works with hypermesh 2017?

Thank you in advance
