wait process during drawing render process ?

[TIMOHART]

Hello ,

Currently I am busy with adding dimensions to my drawing. Always I added a new dimension I check if it works by evaluating the renderSelf Propertie of the added dimension or the view. I figured that this makes it a lot faster that to render the complete drawing. However during renderprocess of the complete drawing Inventor and ETO chrashes even if all the "smaller" renderSelf actions did work out perfectly.

I want to have a wait function or method or a debug break action to confirm the process is allowed to move on. If I place this once in a while in the code it would be easier to figure out the reason for the crash.

There is a thing called debugBreak ( Optional tag As String = "No tag" ) As Integer which I do not know how to use .

Anyone can help ?

Regards

Timo

After realizing the fact that there is no reply I was surging for a solution myself and did the following which might help in some cases.

Following method will log all renderprocesses in a text file to find the latest action before a crash.

I doubt that the pause effect really takes place but it did already help me after crash to figure out what dimesion or leader note made problems.

The method is called by all the modifyers e.g.

IvLinearDimensionModifier

Although I once got told not to use the modifiers I have no other solution.

Thank you / Regards
