C# API for Plant 3D: How to create Support EntityJig that makes Length Adjustment follow the cursor?

[joseph.sarmiento.m5]

I have created a support in Python and am using SupportHelper to place it.

I need assistance with an EntityJig that can automatically adjust the graphics of the support.

For example, when I click the first point in the workspace, the graphics should dynamically change as I move my mouse cursor. It should automatically adjust the length based on the distance between the first point and my cursor.

You can achieve that by adding setLinearDimension ()  

[joseph.sarmiento.m5]

can you give c# example how to do that?

[jflorita]

You can add it on your python script, I'm not pretty good at explaining it but you can play with it on your script.

Thank you for your efforts.

What I'm looking for is the C# API EntityJig, similar to SuppDragPoint and SuppDragAngle provided in the SDK. SuppDragPoint holds the object in the cursor, and SuppDragAngle provides real-time visual feedback for custom support, where the angle represents the direction.

I believe the requirement I'm looking for can be accomplished through the C# API.

When I click the first point in the workspace, the graphics should dynamically change as I move my mouse cursor, automatically adjusting the length based on the distance between the first point and my cursor.

Dear @joseph.sarmiento.m5 ,

and I know from experience that from C# and SDK AutoCAD Plant 3D no direct access to the Python construction variants is possible when inserting the objects into a Plant 3D model.
The mofication always takes place in the post process.
This is due to the graphical representation and the not yet available hardware to implement this on demand.
