Converting Paperspace Coordinates to Model Space - coordinate grids.

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Dec 2000 03:13:35 GMT

:
I am tyring to write a program to apply a coordinate grid to a paperspace
viewport based on

the coordinates in model space.

I have written routines before to make such a coordinate grid model space,
so what I am

trying to figure out is how do I convert a paperspace point (say a viewport)
corner to it's

equivalent modelspace coordinate.

If anyone has any vba code to do the above mentioned I would be grateful.

I haven't used paperspace viewports much so if anybody would like to try and
outline the

recommended procedure for doing so I would as well be much obliged.

I assume that first I need to select the viewport in paperspace.

Then I would need to find the coordinates in paperspace of it's corners.

Then I would need to translate those coordinates to modelspace equivalents.
This is where I am stuck.

I think I need to know something about the twist, scale, and centerpoint?

Any and all advice would be most appreciated.

Yours,
Natan Elsberg

TranslateCoordinates Method - Translates a point from one coordinate system
to another coordinate system.
