Get selection point via .NET?

[Sinc]

How do I get the selection point or pick point in the .NET API? That is, when the user picks an object, how do I get the coordinates that the cursor was at when the user selected the object?

I'm guessing it has something to do with the PickPointSelectedObject class, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how all this fits together with the Editor GetSelection method et al...

You mean this?
PromptEntityResult res = ed.GetEntity("\nSelect Polyline: ");
Point3d pickPt = res.PickedPoint;

Or, if you mean to get the result ala the lisp function "ssnamex", I haven't
seen a way to do that...yet

The equal to ssnamex is found in the SelectedObject item of the
SelectionSet.
From the SelectedObject you can get the ObjectID, SelectionMethod,
SelectionDetails.

HTH.

Ah, I was trying to use the ed.GetSelection() method and the PromptSelectionResult. There is no PickedPoint method with that.

I believe the PromptEntityResult will work. Thanks.
