Line.commit

[Pokemon]

I have typed following code:

 

code:

---

while n < z

Line(n) = New LineGeometry(Endpoint(0+x), Endpoint(0+2*x))

x += 1

n += 1

End while

---

The result is sth like:

Line(1) = New LineGeometry(Endpoint(1), Endpoint(2))

 

I tried to commit these array based Line like this:

 

code:

---

while m < a 

Line(m).commit

m += 1

End while

---

But all I get is an error message: Commit has a return type that is not supported or parameter types that are not supported.

Does anybody know how I can solve this problem?

Pokemon,

 

I assume your "Line" variable is some sort of an Array or ArrayList (let's just call it a collection)? Working from that assumption, what's probably happening is the compiler doesn't realize that the items in your collection are all LineGeometry objects. Try casting your objects like so:

 

code:

---

while m < a 

LineGeometry CurrentLine = Line(m)

CurrentLine.Commit

m += 1

End while

---

See if you have better luck with that. Feel free to come back if you have any further questions.

Hey Mike!

 

Thank You for your help. First you are right, my lines are supposed to be "collections". I tried your solution but Visual Studio 2005 says that LineGeometry is a "type and canot be used as an expression". Further it says that currentLine is not declared. I was thinking about how to solve the 2nd problem but im not sure how to declare...

I have tried some possibilities but nothing works, yet

I am not entirely sure what you are doing but perhaps this code might help?

 

code:

---

 

Dim Lines As ArrayList = New ArrayList()

Dim n As Int32 = 0

Dim x As Int32 = 1

Dim z As Int32 = 10

 

While n < z

Lines.Add(New LineGeometry(Endpoint(0 + x), Endpoint(0 + 2 * x)))

x += 1 : n += 1

End While

 

For Each l As LineGeometry In Lines

Dim thisLine As Mastercam.Database.Geometry = l

thisLine.Commit()

Next

 

GraphicsManager.FitScreen()

Thank you Mick!!!

 

Your script works perfectly well!
