Im having problems running this. I tried to run it from Python->Run Script and adding it and running it from the Scripts menu, and running it from the console (after sys.path.append("location"). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
No errors no nothing. If I run it through Python->Run Script nothing happens. If I run it through the Scripts menu I get a pop up window saying "Running /folder/measureStreetLength.py" which then disappears and then nothing. Might it be the fact that my workspace is in c:\users folder and im running on finnish windows 7 which autotranslates "users" to the finnish equivalent in some manner which might then result in the scripts in that folder not working?
I'm sure you checked that, but just in case: these dialogs might appear "behind" the open CE window.

could be. can you try the following:
* create a new folder C:\addscripts\ * copy measureStreetLength.py into that folder * in your CE project, File -> New... General - Folder * folder name : addscripts * choose advanced - link to alternate folder, browse to C:\addscripts * open the new linked folder, open measureStreetLength.py, Python -> Run Script
It was indeed hidden behind all the windows I had open, not just the CE one. So they dont always appear there? Any solution to this behaviour? As it is, they dont just appear there, they remain there (every time you activate CE screen they go to the background again) which makes using them a bit problematic 🙂
