Joe_Carrick Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 OK, here's the revised macro. Replace the one in the RTB with this one. Then test it with all the other Types, not just I-Josts and Lumber. Framing Member(s).zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 So I need the new library item in post #24 and then have to change the new library item's macro to the one in post no#27 ? (same macro as your other thread right? and RTB ? doesn't mean Return To Base I'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 not so much here , think I must have screwed something up between this thread and the macro thread but perhaps I misunderstood ? as I thought it labelled the framing members and auto noted the spacing? after placing the library item I open the RTB ,delete text and insert the Framing Member(s) macro previously imported ( from this or other thread , I think they are the same?)

Joe_Carrick Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Spacing is not automatic. Unfortunately the attribute for spacing is not available to Ruby. You need to add that in the RTB after the %Framing Member(s)% yourself. ie: %Framing Member(s)% @ 16" o.c.. or whatever your spacing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Joe says he's retiring when X9 hits the stand Not gonna happen! The only reason I am not on X10 is that I don't know what it's going to be called. X10, XX, XArch_1,.... ??? Based on my family history I figure I've got at least 25 more years. I could be using Chief Version XL3 by then. Hmm., sounds like a BMW. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok , thanks again Joe , as you can tell I am a newbie when it comes to the inner workings of CA , there's no way I ,or many others I suspect ,even at what I think is "CA Guru Level" could ever figure this stuff out ,as I am not part computer programmer, so I will have to shamelessly use your work ,which I am always happy to see you are willing to share.
