Is there any way of changing to output format of this tool? -- Bill Bedford "Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun" -- Clifford Geertz

I have an input template which starts like this: ''' NAME = 'MR 3Plank Wagon' TYPE = "DROP" #"COAL" "OPEN" LENGTH = 180.0 WIDTH = 89.0 WHEELBASE = 96.0 #----------------- SOLEBARH = 12.0 #Solebar height SOLEBART = 5.0 #Solebar thickness SOLESEP = 75.0 #Solebar separation SOLEBOLTS = (2,[-83.5,-76,-24,24,76,83.5]) #Solebar bolt positions, centre above bottom of solebar, x centres. #----------------- HEIGHT = 21.0 #Side height FLOORT = 2.5 #Prototype Floor thickness FLOORR = 5.0 #Model Floor thickness FLOORPLANK = 7 # Nominal plank width THEIGHT = SOLEBARH+FLOORT+HEIGHT #Total height HFLOOR = SOLEBARH+FLOORT #Height of floor top #----------------- ''' I know that I can paste this into the GC info window and copy it out. I also know that I can remove the text part of measuring tool input, but it would be much neater and less confusing if GC could be persuaded to just output the measurement values. -- Bill Bedford "Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun" -- Clifford Geertz
