"MOVE / COPY" in the context menu

[kandennti]

Hi there,

Select "MOVE / COPY" in the context menu,
When you move the component, "Position" is displayed on the Toolbar Panel.

In the case of GUI, if you try to execute another command as it is, "Some components have been moved" dialog appears and the user decides the Capture Position? Continue? After selecting, a dialog will appear for the command.

If you use the API in the state after moving the component, different from the screen state, various information will be obtained in the canceled state. (I think this is because the movement has not been finalized)

Is it possible to call this "Some components have been moved" dialog with the API?
Or is there a way to forcefully fix the position?

I hope you will be able to provide the information.

Move copy command is refactored recently but API is not updated yet to use this new behaviour. We will create a ticket to track this work.  Thanks.

Thank you very much.
The other day I realized that this is the reason why it is not processed properly.

First of all, I decided to use the display of ToolbarPanel and give a warning to the user.

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback

def run(context):
    try:
        if isPositionUndetermined():
            msg = 'Undetermined'
        else:
            msg = 'Determination'

        ui = adsk.core.Application.get().userInterface
        ui.messageBox('Component Position ' + msg)

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

def isPositionUndetermined() -> bool:
    ui = adsk.core.Application.get().userInterface
    pnl = ui.allToolbarPanels.itemById('SnapshotPanel')
    return pnl.isVisible

There may be a better way ...

There is a very good way.  In your command created event handler, set the isPositionDependent property of the Command object that's passed in to True.  If the assembly has been moved and not saved with a snapshot, the dialog you showed above will be shown.

Thank you very much.

This is what I was looking for. By incorporating it in CommandCreatedEventHandler, it will continue processing.
it is perfect.
