Rotate Sketched Symbol with iLogic

[LiliaE]

Hej

I would like to rotate existing Sketched Symbol with iLogic. I can scale it with this code, but I can't use the same to rotate.

For Each sketched As SketchedSymbol In oSheet.SketchedSymbols
      If (sketched.Name = "Snit_C") Then
          sketched.Scale = 2
        sketched.Rotate = 30
        
      End If
Next

It get error:

Error in rule: SymbolRul, in document: TS_FG_BR.idw
Det offentlige medlem 'Rotate' i typen 'SketchedSymbol' blev ikke fundet.

If anyone can help. It will be nice.

The correct spelling of the property is "Rotation" and not "Rotate".

Check the Help Files in case of a doubt.

Regards,

Philippe.

Thank you, Philippe !!!

It has helped. The reason I spelled it that way in the program.

Regards, Lilia.

I want to achieve something very similar. I have a symbol on my drawing and I want a rule to change it's scale to match the scale of another view I have

Something like this:

SymbolScale ("Scaled Man") = ActiveSheet.View(View(2)).ScaleString

So far I have copy pasted what you have, see below but get errors

For Each sketched As SketchedSymbol In oSheet.SketchedSymbols
      If (sketched.Name = "Scaled Man") Then
          sketched.Scale = 2
          sketched.Rotation = 30
        
      End If
Next 

I'm very new to iLogic so don't really understand these errors:

Error on Line 1 : Type 'SketchedSymbol' is not defined.

Error on Line 1 : 'oSheet' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

Maybe there's something even simpler I could do?

For Each oSheet As Sheet in ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets

  For Each sketched As SketchedSymbol In oSheet.SketchedSymbols
      If (sketched.Name = "Scaled Man") Then
          sketched.Scale = 2
          sketched.Rotation = 30
        
      End If
  Next

Untested, but should work. You were missing the declaration for oSheet, as the plain english in the error stack suggests. oSheet needs a declaration as it is a variable created by the user and not native to the API.

Thanks for that explanation, it works perfect now for that appliction.

I've encountered another issue however, I want my sketched symbol scale to be set the same as another drawing view scale.

I have the following code but get this error: "Conversion from string "1/15.25" to type 'Double' is not valid."

For Each oSheet As Sheet In ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets

  For Each sketched As SketchedSymbol In oSheet.SketchedSymbols
      If (sketched.Name = "Scaled Man") Then
          sketched.Scale = ActiveSheet.View("ELEVATION").ScaleString
         
      End If
  Next 
Next

 How can I convert this to a 'double'?

I have this piece of code which applies the scale from one view to another, which I've tried to use in a similar way above. However I understand in this instance it's simpler as I'm going from string to string.

ActiveSheet.View("PERSPECTIVE").ScaleString = ActiveSheet.View("ELEVATION").ScaleString

Soke too soon. No error when I remove the word 'String' from this line

sketched.Scale = ActiveSheet.View("ELEVATION").Scale
