GEOMAP Customization

[Anonymous]

Hello,

What I'm trying to do is this:

I'm using this code: GeolocationCode to place a Geomap into my drawing. I've changed some settings like the data.coordintasystem to "Belge72.Lambert72A" and the coördinates to my location.

Everythings works fine, but I want to be able to change the insertion point. When you manually insert a geomap you can choose the insertion point (x,y) at the end of the command. But I don't know how to do this in the Code the map is always placed at 0,0,0?

Any suggestions?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Sorry I'm not able to figure out about your question, Geomap displays a map from an online maps service, in the current viewport. I don't there is a insertion point, I believe you already have created geoposition marker based on lat-long coordinate system, accordingly map gets displayed.

Can you please share me screencast  recording of AutoCAD interactively of what you are looking for ?, may be I can get an idea.

I hope the screencast makes it more clear.

What I'm trying to do is after I set my location, coordinate system and the drawing units and you click on next.

AutoCAD asks = Select a point for the location <0,0,0> :

Default its 0,0,0. But I want this point to be on <147500,218590,0>

I want to be able to to that in the code.

In the code Kean sets the geolocation first geoPt (so thats the geoposition), and I thought that the wcsPt was the insertion point of that Geopoint.

But when I look at the result of the code and the result when I do it manually its not the samen. See screenshot.

      var msId = SymbolUtilityServices.GetBlockModelSpaceId(db);

      // Check whether the drawing already has geolocation data

      data.DesignPoint = wcsPt;

Sorry, I might have overlooked forum notification, please find in-line comments in corrected code

            Longitude ordinates are carried in the x member of AcGePoint objects,
