Zoom Highlightset

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:16:28 GMT

Hi there,

I highlighted some drawingcurves in a drawing by the API and now I would like to "zoom fit" the highlighted set for a better visual effect. Does anyone known a solution?

This should work as long as the highlighted set counts as a selection or can be added to the selection set at least.

I formatted it for iLogic, but it's easy to tweak for VBA if needed.

Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument: oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition: oDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oOccs As ComponentOccurrences: oOccs = oDef.Occurrences
   
Dim oOcc As ComponentOccurrence: oOcc = oOccs.Item(oOccs.Count)
   
Dim oSSet As SelectSet: oSSet = oDoc.SelectSet
Call oSSet.Select(oOcc)
   
Dim oControlDef As ControlDefinition: oControlDef = ThisApplication _
.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions _
.Item("AppZoomSelectCmd")
oControlDef.Execute

Unfortunately, I think 'Zoom Selected' only works in the assembly environment and not in the drawing environment.

And when I execute a Control Definition I loose my highlighted set.

Doh, it was late and I missed the part where this was a drawing. I'll tweak it tonight. Got to stop writing code so late 😉

Was there a solution to this? I'm looking to do something similar from a .Net addin.
