Hi Devinder,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'll look more into the draw issue, which, at worst, will cause a little bit of blinking on-screen.

The code in the macro use ent_copy to intentionally bypass ent_init, precisely to avoid having to individually set each field.

In each case, the resulting text strings are correct, but the .x, .y, and text size aren't.

Could you email to techsupport@datacad.com, a sample aec file that shows the problem.

We found the problem. In DataCAD we started checking entity parameters for its validity. An empty string in the text field was being considered as invalid and thus would not update database, after it was initialized with zeros. This has now been changed to check the height parameter. If this is being set to zero, this problem will continue, but as you say in your message you do ent_copy, so it will not be a problem.

The problem will be fixed in the next version.

Aha,

Expanded error checking certainly is a useful thing. Sorry my programming got snared in that one - thank you for the support.

Very Cool.

I just checked for an update, downloaded it and it sure does appear that Scrive's reflow is back to normal.

By the way, I think it is some kind of amazing feat that you (Datacad LLC) have accomplished by keeping so much of this old "legacy" DCAL code functional.

In my mind, it warrants more tribute than most people can imagine, because I'm sure that it has measurably added to your every effort to improve the core product.

Thanks so much.

Ted
