Re: [Plugin] Electrical Symbols — annotate sockets, switches, lighting & more on the 2D plan + DXF Export 1.1 Thanks a lot for the pointer — I hadn't seen Dorin's script or the AREI library before. That's a clever approach, very different from mine: using the furniture catalog system to carry 2D symbols, versus my approach of using Labels with property metadata. I'll definitely test the AREI library with my DXF Export plugin and report back. Since 2D furniture pieces follow a different code path than Labels in SH3D, my plugin won't pick them up automatically — but the built-in DXF furniture export should already write their plan icons. I'm curious whether it produces clean vector output or just a rasterized image. If it turns out the furniture-based approach works well for users who need a wider symbol set (Belgian AREI, etc.), I'm happy to mention Dorin's library in my plugin's README so people know about both options. Thanks again — and great work on the Dodecagon library! |
