UI with graphical gizmo

nnikbin — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 17:19:45 GMT

Fusion 360 API has DistanceValueCommandInput and AngleValueCommandInput which in addition to displaying a value input on the command dialog, they display an arrow in the graphics window that the user can drag to set the value. Does the Inventor API support a similar functionality? I am looking for something like Distance input field in Inventor Chamfer command.

I know that there is 3D move and rotate tool with Triad Events but it is not suitable for the case I have.

In Inventor API is nothing similar to this inputs. You need to implement your own with TriadEvents tools or you can use some ClientGraphics API. But I don't have any experience with this
