Find Clip Id from NonRectangularViewPort Object ID t?

JanetDavidson — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 05:14:19 GMT

Hello,

Need help and could not find a solution for it.

I have the ID of non rectangular view port and I need to find the Polyline attached to it.

How do you do that ?

Thanks,

Hi, Janet!

Please attach a simplest dwg-file with such viewport and correspondent Polyline.

P.S.: Maybe method Viewport.NonRectClipEntityId can help you?

Hi,

Once you have a viewport ObjectId, use viewport.NonRectClipEntityId (that should be not ObjectId.Null) to get its non-rectangular viewport, see the following code snippet:

transaction.GetObject(viewport.NonRectClipEntityId, OpenMode.ForRead) as Polyline

Actually My Problem it the otherway around. I mean I want the PolyLine ObjectId of sorrouding ViewPort (Which I have the ID.
