Open new view ... active view

I have made a node for opening a new view, this new view will then be the active view when the graph is finished and the dynamo application again is idle. However, this is only one half of what I would like to be able to do with my node. My goal was to be able to close the other open windows in the same process.

That is not possible at the moment due to the way Dynamo works. If it should be possible I need the ability to use events inside a method in Dynamo like this post by Jeremy Tammik describes.

Therefore, is the workaround at the moment as following. Add the “OpenView” node in a graph and then execute the graph and do whatever is needed. When you eventually has finished doing whatever you should, then save and closes the file.

When the file is re-open will the last view be the default view unless starting view is set, in that case, will it be the starting view and that would be correct in those cases.

This new node cannot be called as a background action!

Orchid: new nodes

I have just updated to 132.3.7 / 201.3.7 versions. They both support the newly released 2.0.2 and 1.3.4 version of Dynamo as well.

One major change is that the two versions are now split into individual installers. I have evaluated that the time is up for this since the 2.0 version has been around for some time and that many new users don’t use the old 1.3 series anymore. However, there is still a world out there that need to be compatible with the 1.3 series. I will in the future develop against the 2.0 series but maintain the 1.3 series as long as it is possible without doing anything extra. Over time will the development of the 1.3 series stop.

By this version, I have also removed the last Custom Nodes meaning all nodes in the package is now Zero Touch nodes (The last four CN nodes for FEM-design).

This update also adds some new nodes and some updated nodes as well. Among these is the node there can tell the user if an update of the package exists!
