Line Endpoint Info

[Matt Sumner]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to find a way to get xyz data from the endpoints of a line that's already commited to the database using NETHook2_0.

 

Something like this:

 

LineEP.X = Example.x

 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

 

You can select a line or just get all lines with SearchManager, then you will get the endpoints from LineGeometry.

 

Line.Data.Point1.x

Line.Data.Point1.y

Line.Data.Point1.z

Line.Data.Point2.x

code:

---

 

GeometryMask Mask = new GeometryMask(false);

Mask.Lines = true;

 

LineGeometry SelectedLine = (LineGeometry)SelectionManager.AskForGeometry("Please select one line from the screen.", Mask);

if (SelectedLine != null)

{

string str = SelectedLine.Data.Point1.x.ToString();

DialogManager.OK(str, "");

}

 

DialogManager.OK("Search all lines!", "");

Geometry[] FoundGeo = SearchManager.GetGeometry(Mask);

foreach (LineGeometry Line in FoundGeo)

{

string str = Line.Data.Point1.x.ToString();

DialogManager.OK(str, "");

}

Thanks for the help.

 

For some reason I'm not able to use *.Data member. What namespace do I have to import to access it?

 

By the way I'm using VB 2005 Express Edition if that makes any difference.

 

Thanks again.

Add this line in you code if you use C#.

using Mastercam.BasicGeometry;

 

 

And these NetHook2.0 Example files will help you.

NetHook2ExampleNetHook2Example5 - Simple Geometry5.2 - The LineGeometry Class.cs

NetHook2ExampleNetHook2Example8 - Support8.1 - The SearchManager Class.cs

 

if you are using the Express Edition, it can still compile the code.

but it lacks some good features in the Pro/Standard Edition.

I'll have a look at those examples.

 

I really appreciate the help. You're an outstanding emastercam citizen.

 

Thanks again.
