Macro CirclePlus

Description

This macro creates a circle or arc and lets the user, using the following option (via a dialog box), to customize the: radius, diameter, circumference, area, startangle, endangle, arc, anglecenter, cord, arrow, center (point), and placemObject.

The circle by default will face the screen (it refers to the function getCameraOrientation to get its orientation). It is possible to change manually change this function to customize the placement of the shape.

Legend

In the CirclePlus dialog certain spinboxes will change colors. Green indicates a spinbox that is modified and ready to be run. Orange will indicate the optional spinbox that the user can utilize if deemed necessary. Red indicates a missing or inadequate value. The Ok will also be colored Red and not functional until the correct values are used.

Usage

Copy the code and paste it in the macro directory

• X Y Z : coordinates of circle if not coordinates the circle is created on point 0,0,0
• radius : radius of cicle
• diameter : diameter of circle
• Reset : reset the coordinate value
• Equal : copy the X value in Y and Z window
• CheckBox :
• Options : other options for create circle
• Point : if checked the central point is created
• Info : if checked display the information give in the macro
• Face : if checked the face is created on circle
• Sector : if checked the sector is created
• Segment : if checked the segment is created
• SpinBox 1.0 : step increment for Radius and Diameter (Default: 1.0 (for modify the value on begin change the value Line 87 "incrementDS = xx.xx"))
• SpinBox 8.0 : give the height of text in the macro

• Quit : quit the macro (this button is coloured in red in case error)
• Ok : create the circle

• Options available
