C++ PivotMode

I got another one: How can I set the Viewport Pivot-Mode from C++?

In MXS listener I see: macros.run "Tools" "PivotMode_Toggle" -- when pressing the <INS> button on an selected object.

In an old Interface7() I found something, but it does not work.

Solved. Using "maxops.pivotmode".

PS: found in the good old sparks message archive 🙂

What is wrong with Interface7::GetPivotMode ?

Never had a problem with it...

Here is the code from my library... (looks like pseudo, but it should make sense 😉)

def_visible_function(getPivotMode) { check_arg_count_with_keys(getPivotMode, 0, count); auto mode = mxs_ip(7)->GetPivotMode(); bool asname = is_true_key(name); if (asname) { switch (mode) { case PIV_NONE: return n_none; case PIV_PIVOT_ONLY: return n_pivot; case PIV_OBJECT_ONLY: return n_object; case PIV_HIERARCHY_ONLY: return cust_name(hierarchy); } return_undefined; } return int_value(mode); }

Thx Denis, was just a minor thing.

Is now working with the mxs - when I find time, I'll check it again.
