How to create lines at joint point

[xusho]

I am trying to create a sketch by adding points and lines by API. The intention is to let the 3 lines below share a point at the blue joint. It seems when a new line is added, new end points are always created separately. Is it possible to use an existing point to create a new line without duplicating the point?

@xusho I believe passing the existing SketchPoint while creating the line will do the trick.

A sample script of what you are trying to achieve will help to understand the case?

Hi Rushikesh,
Thanks for your reply.

I have points and lines in json. My intention is to draw a sketch in F360:

This is my code:

with open(input_filename) as json_file:

        json_data = json.load(json_file)

    # Create sketch points
    # points are created and saved as a map

    point_map = {}

    for point in json_data['points']:

        p_id = point['id']

        xyz = point['xyz']

        point = adsk.core.Point3D.create(float(xyz[0]), float(xyz[1]), float(xyz[2]))

        sketchPoints.add(point)

        point_map[p_id] = point

    for ent in json_data['entities']:

        ent_id = ent['id']

        ent_type = ent['type']

        if ent_type == 'line':  # line

            p0_id = ent['attributes']['startPointId']

            p1_id = ent['attributes']['endPointId']

            # get point from id. Points can be shaed by several lines.

            p0 = point_map[p0_id]

            p1 = point_map[p1_id]

            sketchLines.addByTwoPoints(p0, p1)

After drawing, I expect to stretch the shape when dragging one line (blue), but actually only one line will move, while others do not move. It seems they are not joined.

Is it possible to make lines joined like a rectangle?
Thanks

Hi @xusho .

This way, I think it will be as desired.

・・・
        point = adsk.core.Point3D.create(float(xyz[0]), float(xyz[1]), float(xyz[2]))
        sktPoint = sketchPoints.add(point)
        point_map[p_id] = sktPoint
・・・

Yes. It works now. Thank you very much, Rushikesh.
