Move tag to host location point.

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 16:53:14 GMT

Im trying to move a tag to the host location point. Can anyone show me what the syntax is to do this? I already have 'tag' and 'hostLocation' assigned. I've tried this but get an error: tag.Location = new LocationPoint(hostLocation.Point);

You could try using the ElementTransformUtils.MoveElement or the Location.Move method instead.

Best regards,

Jeremy is right, you need to use the Location.Move method. The trick though is knowing how far to move it as the tag's Location property can not be cast to either LocationPoint or LocationLine. You instead need to use the point returned by the TagHeadPosition property for the location of the tag.

you can then do something like:

tag.Location.Move(hostLocation - tag.TagHeadPosition)
