polyline inside arx

Anonymous — Mon, 05 May 2003 02:39:43 GMT

I've a function which requires a polyline to be drawn somewhere in the
middle... I mean to say there will be some calculation at the beginning then
depending on the output - user will draw a polyline and then there will be
some more calculations... Now, standard polyline supports arc etc.
{[Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width]} - I want to keep those
functionalities as it is... Is there any standard ARX function - calling
which it'll ask inputs from the user at command prompt, draw the polyline
and at the end that will give me back the objectId for continuing my job...
Please let me know.

Thanks

There is not a standard ARX function for that. Someone here may have
written some sort of reusable code for it, but it's not in the standard ARX
SDK. You could reproduce that kind of functionality with an AcEdJig.

Consider using ads_command (acedCommand now?) to run the polyline
command, then using ads_entlast to grab the entity name.

Good luck,

Thanks... I think I've to re-engineer the functionality.
