Insertion point of Sketch symbol

[Anonymous]

How to get the insertion point of sketch symbol?

[Mario-Villada]

Here is something from the help file

SketchedSymbol.Position Property

Property that gets and sets the origin position of the symbol on the sheet

Hope it helps.

thanks but It can be used to get the position wrt sheet

and I want to get the insertion point as defined in the sketch symbol.

Any idea of this?

You might be able to infer this by reading SketchedSymbol.Transformation.Translation.X and SketchedSymbol.Transformation.Translation.Y

this is what the help file says:

SketchedSymbol.Transformation Property

Property that provides the transform that is applied to display the associated sketched symbol definition in the correct location on the sheet. The matrix defines the sheet to sketched symbol transform.

I am getting values for "SketchedSymbol.Transformation.Translation.X" and "SketchedSymbol.Transformation.Translation.Y" always as zero.

Any other way.

Maybe you want to get is that InsertionPoint in the sketched symbol definition. You can query all the sketch points in SketchedSymbolDefinition.Sketch and check the SketchPoint.InsertionPoint to know which sketch point is that you need. Remember that a sketched symbol definition can have no insertion point defined explicitly. Once you define one in sketched symbol definition, then the insertion point would be the position of the sketched symbol instance when you place it onto a sheet.

Hope this clarifies.

Its a bit lengthy.

Anyway Thanks , Its working now.
