MouseClick Coords - in process

[NachoShaw]

Hey

i can get mouseclick coords when im using a select event but i need something different. While in an Inventor command, lets say, sketching a line, Id like to capture the mouse down on each sketch line point and record its X,Y. Im not sure if its possible with the SelectEvent but i am using VB.Net so have the potential to a different method?

Thanks

I previously used InteractionEvents.MouseEvents.OnMouseClick event to capture mouse click position, like this:

Sub Main
	Dim oIntEv As InteractionEvents = ThisApplication.CommandManager.CreateInteractionEvents
	Dim oMouseEv As MouseEvents = oIntEv.MouseEvents
	AddHandler oMouseEv.OnMouseClick  ,AddressOf oMouseEv_OnMouseClick 
	oIntEv.Start
End Sub

Sub oMouseEv_OnMouseClick(oMBtn As MouseButtonEnum, oShiftState As ShiftStateEnum, oMPos As Inventor.Point, oViewPos As Point2d, oView As Inventor.View)
   MsgBox("Model Position = " & oMPos.X & " cm x " & oMPos.Y & " cm (from model origin)" & vbCrLf & _
  "View Position = " & oViewPos.X & " x " & oViewPos.Y & " (from top left corner of view)", , "MOUSE POSITION")
End Sub

Thanks for the reply.

I'll try it although i think its the same or similar to what i have been using in the past. I dont think it will continue to provide mouse click coords if i invoke a command like sketch line though. I was thinking that maybe it would need to be a second thread running with a separate process because a command usually cancels any active process for the selected command
