[Bug] MeasureManager and new component

[JeromeBriot]

Hello,

I can't use the measure manager between geometries inside a component.

The code below works only if the createNewComponent variable is set to False. If not, it returns this error:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface

        doc = app.documents.add(adsk.core.DocumentTypes.FusionDesignDocumentType)
        product = app.activeProduct
        design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product)

        createNewComponent = False

        if not createNewComponent:
            parentComp = design.rootComponent
        else:
            rootComp = design.rootComponent
            occ = rootComp.occurrences.addNewComponent(adsk.core.Matrix3D.create())
            parentComp = occ.component

        baseFeats = parentComp.features.baseFeatures
        baseFeat = baseFeats.add()
        baseFeat.startEdit()

        pointInput = parentComp.constructionPoints.createInput()

        pointInput.setByPoint(adsk.core.Point3D.create(0.0, 0.0, 0.0))
        point1 = parentComp.constructionPoints.add(pointInput)

        pointInput.setByPoint(adsk.core.Point3D.create(1.0, 0.0, 0.0))
        point2 = parentComp.constructionPoints.add(pointInput)

        baseFeat.finishEdit()

        measure = app.measureManager.measureMinimumDistance(point1, point2)

        ui.messageBox('Distance: {} cm'.format(measure.value))

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Thank you.

Hi　@JeromeBriot .

I don't know why, but it was possible to measure between geometry.

・・・
measure = app.measureManager.measureMinimumDistance(point1.geometry, point2.geometry)
・・・

Thank you @kandennti for the workaround. I really appreciate it.

I got nearly the same problem. I measure an Angle. That works in rootComp with: 

measureResult = app.measureManager.measureAngle(edge, line)
But when I have my lines and edges in a new component, it does not work.  The workaround "edge.geometry, line.geometriy" does not work either.

It looks like MeasureManager expects all of the entities to be in the context of the root component.  This doesn't mean they have to exist in the root component but if they don't you need to pass in a proxy for the entity so it is in the context of the root.  Temporary geometry is an exception because it's not associated with any space and in this case is assumed to be in the root space.  This case could also potentially be an exception where both entities exist within the same component but it seems this exception isn't supported.

To get the script to work in the initial question, I added the following two lines just before the measureMinimumDistance call.

        point1 = point1.createForAssemblyContext(occ)
        point2 = point2.createForAssemblyContext(occ)
