I was looking to give users a better description of a 3D Model not displaying but I don't see a function to SetLocalStr

I can do this to get the ID number of it and find out what the string value is.
lID = AxPXV_Control1.Inst.Str2ID("u3d.3DSceneFailed.str")
sString = AxPXV_Control1.Inst.GetLocalStr2(lID)

But I don't see a corresponding GetLocalStr or GetLocalStr2? Am I missing something or are we not able to change the message displayed in English?

Hello RMan,

If you wan to set your custom string to the command, then you should use the Title property of the IUIX_Cmd:

You can obtain the IUIX_Cmd from the IUIX_CmdManager Cmds property by ID:

Thanks but unfortunately it isn't a command I'm trying to update and I can't get the commands from the plugin it appears.

Set oUiInst = AxPXV_Control1.Inst.GetExtension("UIX")
Set oCmnd = oUiInst.CmdManager.Cmds.Find(sCommandName)

Works for the main commands
sCommandName = "cmd.view.rotate"

But fails for the plugin strings I see.
sCommandName = "u3d.cmd.rotate"
sCommandName = "u3d.3DSceneFailed.str"

Or am I missing a step that we need to get an interface to the plugin and then to the CmdManager for that? The only thing I really saw for the PlugIn was GetPluginSettings and I didn't figure that would help out.

I also tried seeing if I could create my own English dictionary for the plugin. Not sure is I did it wrong or I'm guessing for English it only uses the built-in strings and doesn't even look for an optional dictionary file.

Hello RMan,

I've reproduced your behavior and it seems that it has to do something with the U3D plugin. I just checked the same with the Bookmarks Plugin - I can get and modify it's commands.

Cheers,
