           VAR minor         :INTEGER;
           VAR maintenance   :INTEGER;
           VAR platform      :INTEGER);

def vs.GetVersion():
    return (major, minor, maintenance, platform)

Parameters

Python

def Example():
	appMajor, appMinor, appMaint, platform = vs.GetVersion()
	osMajor, osMinor, osIncr = vs.GetOSVersion()
	if (platform == 1):
		platformStr = 'MacOS'
	else:
		platformStr = 'Windows'
	vs.Message('VectorWorks ', appMajor, '.', appMinor, '.', appMaint, ' running on ', platformStr, ' ', osMajor, '.', osMinor, '.', osIncr)
