Custom workspace workflow commands not showing in the toolbar

[[Ch...]]

Hi there,

I am creating a custom workspace and am finding that scripts I have written that create actual elements are not showing on the toolbar. They will show if i change their settings to "no element creation".

 

Is there some stricter criteria for displaying scripts that create elements / perform checks in the workflow toolbar, or is this a designed limitation?

 

If the criteria for displaying these scripts are more stringent, then where would i be able to find thorough documentation about this, as the zeiss python API docs don't talk about it.

Hi,

This is is a known limitation. As a workaround, you can create a wrapper script which calls the interactive scripted element creation.

E.g.:

gom.interactive.sys.create_element_by_script(
    check_type='none',
    name="",
    element_type='curve',
    parameters={...}, # optional
    script_uuid='3dd6f706-d9ed-4c23-aa88-70d48a7eaf26' # Replace by your scripted element's UUID
)

Best regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias, thanks for the reply! 

 

I did settle on this method, but I was worried that it might not work in future versions of the software, so it's relieving to know its the recommended work around for this.
