Client Graphic

[ludesroc]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a simple text (client graphic) on screen...Can somebody point me in the right direction???

Child testCG As :CGText
Text = "Test"
AnchorPosition = Point(0,0,0)
AnchorCorner = :Left
visible? = True
position = Point(5,5,0)
Scalable? = True
Bold? = False
Italic? = False
Font = %%InventorApplication.GeneralOptions.TextAppearance
FontSize = %%InventorApplication.GeneralOptions.TextSize
HorizontalAlignment = :Left
VerticalAlignment = :BaseLine
End Child

I get : 

Exception in function cg_drawText
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

Regards,

Luc

Hi --

This is under investigation ... apparently there are some defects in this area ... try different values for :VerticalAlignment ... more information tomorrow.

As Jon mentioned, there seems to be a defect in CGText VerticalAlignment.  If it is set to :BaseLine it will fail.  But if you set it to one of the other choices (Middle, Upper, Lower) it seems to be ok.  I will look into this further and file the issue in our tracking system.

Also, the choices for AnchorCorner are: None, TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight.  You have it set to :Left, which is not a valid choice.

Child TheText As :CGText, Quantity =  Quantity2D
	Text = "Test"
        AnchorPosition = Point(0,0,0)
        AnchorCorner = :None
        visible? = True
        position = Point(5,5,0)
        Scalable? = True
        Bold? = False
        Italic? = False
        Font = %%InventorApplication.GeneralOptions.TextAppearance
        FontSize = %%InventorApplication.GeneralOptions.TextSize
        HorizontalAlignment = :Left
        VerticalAlignment = :Lower
	End Child
