Editable HotSpot & Arrays

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am working on some custom casework and am having some problems getting the editable hotspots working. Is it possible to use editable hotspots to change the values stored in a dynamic array? I created the array using the DIM command. I am really hoping to avoid having to set a large array in the parameter list in order to make the part flexible, but will resort to this if this is the only way.

Thanks

Just declare the editable hotspots as parameters. Don't use a dim statement.
They will work, array or not. Add them into the 2D script too.

You should not compare directly real numbers. Use a small value EPS, instead.
Do a search with "use of real types can result in precision problems".

Oliver,

Thanks for the help. The "Use of Real" problem is gone now, but I am a bit confused about not using a DIM statement. I need the values to be a array and instead of declaring in the parameter list a large empty array, I thought I could just use the DIM statement to create a dynamic one. Playing around with this some more, the code works fine if I create a large empty array in the parameter list. I guess I will just go with this.

Thanks again.
