fsmmlk / inkscapedimensions Goto Github PK

I'm trying to use the Dimensions extensions, but whenever I want to use e.g. the "mm" value (which is selected in Inkscape) the Dimensions extension is only showing the pixel equivalent.
Example, I've drawn a line with 30.235px, I changed the length indicator to mm witch is exactly 8mm. Then I've added the linear Dimension for this line and got ->30.235<-
BUT I want -> 8 <- !!!
What may be wrong? I'm sorry, if I missuse this issue field.

Hi
I installed https://github.com/fsmMLK/inkscapeMadeEasy, as I should.

the following files are not in the extension folder after this (as you write in
https://github.com/fsmMLK/inkscapeDimensions) :
|-- drawAmpOp.py
|-- drawArrows.py
|-- drawDiodes.py
|-- drawRLC.py
|-- drawSignals.py
|-- drawSources.py
|-- drawSwitches.py
|-- drawTransistors.py
|-- textextLib
| |-- CircuitSymbolsLatexPreamble.tex <-- add this file to textextLib subdirectoy

I receive following message by using extensions>fsmMLK>Dimensions on a sinlge selected path:

Do I have to install so many other extensions?
Thanks for any help !

Hi,

I installed most of your extensions and they all work but Dimensions, it shows this error when previewing or applying:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dimensions.py", line 832, in <module>
    dimension.affect()
  File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions/inkex.py", line 283, in affect
    self.effect()
  File "dimensions.py", line 193, in effect
    [P1,P2] = self.getPointsLinDim(element,so.LINdirection)
  File "dimensions.py", line 784, in getPointsLinDim
    [P1,P2] = self.getPoints(element)
ValueError: too many values to unpack

Windows 7 Pro 64 bits, Python 2.7.15, all packages installed according to your instructions, InkscapeMadeEasy seems to be working since the other extensions work.

What do you think of rearranging the config tab contents?

Now:

Config:

• Text color
• Line color

Style

• Linear dimension marker style
• Marker sizes ...

My suggestion:

Style:

• Text color
• Line color
• Linear dimension marker style

Sizes

• Marker sizes ...

Would then look something iike this way:

This is a really great project!

Ubuntu 18.0.4; Inkscape 0.92.3

I am getting the following error report when I attempt to add a linear dimension

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dimensions.py", line 838, in <module>
    dimension.affect()
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 283, in affect

  File "dimensions.py", line 603, in drawLinDim
    value=self.userUnit2unit(value,self.documentUnit)
AttributeError: Dimensions instance has no attribute 'userUnit2unit'

When I run it with 'Custom' set I get a dimensional arrow with 'value' on it, so I think I have things set up correctly in general (i.e. my installation can access required LaTeX components, etc.)

Probably this is some silly configuration issue, but I can't find any suggestions elsewhere online as to what the possible problem might be.

Started getting this error while trying to apply angular dimension

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\buszt\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\inkscapeDimensions\dimensions.py", line 896, in <module> dimension.run() File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\inkex\base.py", line 231, in run self.save_raw(self.effect()) File "C:\Users\buszt\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\inkscapeDimensions\dimensions.py", line 246, in effect self.drawAngDim(root_layer, element, label='Dim', invertAngle=so.ANGinvertAngle, textType=so.AngContents_subtab, File "C:\Users\buszt\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\inkscapeDimensions\dimensions.py", line 334, in drawAngDim if auxElemType == '3points': UnboundLocalError: local variable 'auxElemType' referenced before assignment

Also this message while using linear dimension, though it creates the dimension

How do you managed this that the horizontal line is always as long as your text? Or is that only possible if using Latex?

If I do that it looks like this:

or

Maybe an option would be to right align the text as it is a common method I think:

What do you think about that?

Out of the box, the 'Dimensions' entry in the fsmMLK submenu is greyed out. I fixed that (and a few other issues) before I started getting so deep in that I didn't really know what I was doing any more:

• in inkscapeDimensions.inx, there is a dependency on inkex.py coded in. The extensions-errors.log showed that a dependency couldn't be loaded. Just commenting out that line made the entry no longer be greyed out. It seems modern Inkscape versions include that file in the Python installation directory? At least I can import it just fine from the command line. So that seems to be no longer needed.
• Then I got a deprecation warning about OptionsParser. In Dimensions.init(), I had to change all OptionsParser.[something, forgot what it was called] to arg_parser.add_argument.
• Then I got a message about string not being callable. I had to change the type option to add_argument from string to the actual type, e.g. "string" to str, "float" to float etc.

That's when I gave up, I got errors about there being too many arguments to unpack for inkDraw.color.parseColorPicker() but that required me to understand too much of the internal API. Is this still maintained?

I am using Inkscape 1.1.1 under Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon. I just installed dimensions.

I drew a line and opened the dimensions extension. This is what I get:

How do I get something more reasonable?

I installed the dimensions package with all dependencies and it worked for several days but I am now getting the following error when trying to apply linear dimensions:

ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack

This is a screenshot of the full error:

Actually when having the preview enabled it only updates the dimension when making changes in the "linear" or "angular" tab.
It would be nice if this could be also done when making changes in the style- (font size e.g.) or configuration-tab.

I get the following syntax error when running in Inkscape 1.0

Traceback (most recent call last):

    except StandardError, e:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have both the dimensions and InkscapeMadeEasy files installed in the user extensions directory. Error occurs when hitting "apply" or "live preview."

MY APOLOGIES, I HAVE SOLVED THIS "PROBLEM" .... IT WAS A NEW USER PROBLEM. I COULD NOT FIND A WAY OF DELETING THE ISSUE, HENCE THIS NOTE.

Excellent Extension, well done.

I have just installed the latest version of Inkscape (inkscape-1.1-x64.exe), InkscapeDimensions (inkscapeDimensions-master 1.0), Miktex (basic-miktex-21.6-x64.exe), LaTex. TexText (TexText-Windows-1.4.0.exe) on Windows 10 and ran into the following error when trying to use the installed dimensions extension (see attachments). Any help would be appreciated. NOTE I am a beginner trying to install extensions and get them working.

Hi
I created an new document on A4 (297 x 210 mm) with scale 1.0 so the viewbox is the same (297 x 210).
Then I draw a box and a line to have the dimensions.
Rather then drawing 2 cm on the 2 cm line it annotates with 0.53 cm
(scale is 1.0 and unit is cm)
Is this an error or do I overlook something?
regards

Just installed this extension on 0.92.3 and was getting some incorrect labels. I often make documents using inches with a scale of 1:1. With a test document w/ display units in inches and scale of 1, I made a reference 4in line. This yielded dimension of 0.0416666682292. Oddly this equals 4in/96px so I gathered the extension thought the document was still using pixel units.

I traced it down to this line of code I think:

I also noticed that if the document scale is changed it will scale the labeled dimension. For example changing the scale from 1 to 2, a 4in line becomes 0.083.

FYI, this seems to fix things for me:

try:
    elem = self.getElemFromXpath('/svg:svg/sodipodi:namedview')
    doc_scale = self.getElemAtrib(elem, 'scale-x')
    doc_scale = float(doc_scale)
except:
   doc_scale = 1

value = self.unit2unit(value, self.documentUnit, unit) / doc_scale

when I first created a linear linear, everything worked fine. But when I then create a linear dimensions, the dimension arrow of the previously created disappears.
Can you fix this?
Also, can the annotated arrows be the same as linear linears?
Thanks

Everytime I create a dimension it's not placed correctly but shifted:

Any idea?

Thanks
