Hello!
Quick question:
Why does setting the parameter
c4d.BASEDRAW_DATA_ROTATION_CIRCLE = 123
have no effect?

That's the param holding the Axis' size. (VP menu > Options > Configure All, Attribute Editor Tab View > Axes Scale

Thanks!!
Best regards

Hi,

do you have that line in your code?

c4d.BASEDRAW_DATA_ROTATION_CIRCLE = 123

then it's no wonder it has no effect, because you are writing over the ID, which you should actually use to address the BaseContainer.
You will rather want to use something like this:

bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_DATA_ROTATION_CIRCLE] = 123

Here's the script I needed this for: 'ToggleAxis'
Purpose:
Since C4D does not display some other kind of axis icon when in axis mode, it's very easy to overlook that you ARE in axis mode! You have no idea how often I stumbled across this...
I put this script on some keyshort, and always use it to toggle axis mode. It also turns on snapping, and reduces the SIZE of the axis (and back).

import c4d
from c4d import gui
from c4d.modules import snap

def main() :
bd = doc.GetActiveBaseDraw()

if(not doc[c4d.DOCUMENT_AXIS]) :
snap.EnableSnap(True, doc)
c4d.CallCommand(c4d.ID_MODELING_MOVE) # Enable Move Tool
bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_DATA_OBJECTAXIS_SCALE] = 0.2 #bd: BaseDraw
doc[c4d.DOCUMENT_AXIS] = True
else:
bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_DATA_OBJECTAXIS_SCALE] = 0.5
doc[c4d.DOCUMENT_AXIS] = False

c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()
