Export DXFs of 2D (parallel projection) standard views in Ruby

Okay, after thinking a bit, and remembering that I has also gotten the dialog twice for the first “Front” view, …
I make a few tweaks to hopefully make sure that the dialog was only being opened once per camera view.

Version 1.1.1 - 2024-02-18 (Dan Rathbun)

  • Increase the dialog DELAY constant to 1.5 seconds.

  • export_dxf_view(): Use true for 2nd UI.start_timer argument and then
    cancel the timer on the first call into the block.

  • onViewChanged(): Detach the observer before calling the method to
    open the export dialog. We are trying to avoid double calls into
    the export_dxf_view() method for the same camera view export.

I have only tested with a local model file and writing to local physical disk drives.
Network storage has been known to have latency that causes issues with SketchUp.
