MouseMove ?

[jgarciaanton]

Hi,

I need a way to create a circle in AutoCAD 2007 and let the user move it around the screen to a desired position, then place it with a mouse click.

I can draw a circle, but I cant find a way to obtain the current position of the mouse in autoCAD to move the circle. Is there a way ?

I have seen a few posts on Drag / Drop but none of then seem to give a definite answer. Can anyone give a few hints on which way to go ?

Thanks
j

Have a look at the following sample shipped with ObjectARX:
samples\dotNet\EllipseJig
It uses the Drag method of the Editor which standardizes the process

Thanks Pavlos and Alexander for your answers.

Alex, following your thread I have ended on this link given by Tony Tanzillo.

If I try to translate the code to VB.NET I get an error on the line

JigPromptOptions jigOpts = new JigPromptOptions();
translated to :
Dim jigOpts As New JigPromptOptions()

On VB the error given is :
'New' cannot be used on a class that is declared 'MustInherit'

And if I put the code into a C# project it gives :
Cannot create an instance of the abstract class or interface
AutoDesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput.JigPromptOptions

Does anyone know why this happens ?

Thanks
