Export piece by piece

[deedend]

Hi,

I am having an issue with the export piece by piece with clipboard of the shop drawing controller, sometimes it crashes Cadwork, and on top of that, it doesn't show the progress or anything (like, for example, it does when you use the manual export - shop drawings - piece by piece - export command). I was wondering, would it be possible to have the same verbosity in that function (or an alternative version of the function with more visual output)? Also, fixing the crashes would be great

These are some errors that I get when I try to run the export SD from inside the script:

and this is the code:

import utility_controller as uc
import shop_drawing_controller as sd
import cadwork

active_elements = ec.get_active_identifiable_element_ids()

clipb = int(uc.get_user_string('Choose the clipboard number'))
sd.export_piece_by_piece_with_clipboard(clipb, active_elements)
uc.print_error(f'Panels exported on clipboard {clipb}')

@deedend which cadwork version are you using ? v2025 ?
If you want to show some progress bar, you have to set it up yourself.

you can either use the built in progressbar

import utility_controller as uc
import time

uc.show_progress_bar()

for i in range(0, 100):
    uc.update_progress_bar(i)

uc.hide_progress_bar()

or set it up with PyQt

Thanks @Brunner246 , good to know for the progress bar, I shall try (as long as it's connected with the actual progress of the Shop Drawings export process). What about the crash? I'm on Cadwork V2025 - 258 (updated today)
