TemporaryGraphicsManager in Action

Hey All,

I was recently playing with TemporaryGraphicsManager and managed to use it in two of my scrips. I decided to post it here as I haven’t seen this class widely used in other plugins or extensions. So feel free to ask questions about it.

From my small LinkedIn post about it:

"In the initial part of my video, I demonstrate how to align title lines to previously saved points. With a simple click, you can create temporary graphics that will guide your design process and allow you to snap your title lines to them!

In the second part of the video, I collect points and save them to an external file for future reference. The TemporaryGraphicsManager conveniently marks their locations, eliminating the need to remember which points I’ve already saved.

Is this the easiest method of controlling title lines? Perhaps not. In an upcoming update to my Drafter tool (to which I added recently 30 days of trial), I’ll introduce further automations in this area. But one thing is certain: I’ll continue to leverage the power of TemporaryGraphicsManage."
