Hi there,
I have been using simple AppleScripts to send code to a CAD application through QuickKeys. Unfortunately, my new setup has broken this system.
Basically, the script sends a few lines of code to the application using a built-in "DoScript" call. For example:
This worked great under Tiger but fails in Snow Leopard. It's my understanding that the problem is that 10.6 now sends text from scripts in Unicode, which the older version of VectorWorks (12.5.3) does not interpret. What I think I need to do is send the text from a plain text file. That file could be stored on my computer in any location (preferably Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/)
I'm new to scripting and am having trouble doing this. Any help would be great.
