RectangleJig Question

[Amremad]

any one help me to write a class to draw rectangle  and can user determine the base point, angle and dimension during dragging .

Hi,

Here's a little example.

using AcAp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Core.Application;
using AcGi = Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface;

wow it's amazing .. 

but i need to learn all about Jig , but i can't find any full and easy lesson to help me about that . 

can't help me to find any lessons .

It is impossible know ALL about Jig as far as this API is very complicated. There is no easy lesson. But you can study ready to use samples and can ask questions. Two samples you can see above.

Also some links:

🙂 i'm trying to understand all samples that i found it since one week . 

it's very difficult 🙂 🙂 🙂 

i'm trying to make a jig sample can insert a rectangle with dim(250X300), and user can choose the angle in jig sampler after draw it , and if cancel won't draw any thing. 

so i'm trying to understand all this examples and try to modified it but failure to run. 

i hope to find any lesson just teach me abc for jig 🙂   i will see this link 

thanks every body

I just downloaded this file from the link. It's all right and it's in place.

[Amremad]

i'm trying to open it but chrome tell me

 

[Alexander.Rivilis]

I've attached webcast to this post.

[Amremad]

IT DOESN'T WORK ALSO

[Alexander.Rivilis]

How bad it all is ...

1. Download attached zip-file

2. Extract (copy in other directory) all files from zip-file.

3. Do as I show:

4. If you do not hear the sounds, you can open the Audio1.wmv file from the Audio directory

[BKSpurgeon]

i might write a tutorial on this Revills jig - looks very nice doesn't it?

might be two weeks but i'll get there.

[Alexander.Rivilis]

@BKSpurgeon

Sorry but there are 3 mistakes in my surname. How can you write a guide to my jig?  😉

[BKSpurgeon]

Apologies sir for the spelling i will make a good attempt at the guide - if
you have no objections and will permit me 🙂

[Alexander.Rivilis]

You can try do it.

Hi Gilles

Thank you for your code.

Would you be able to elaborate on what Matrix3d.WorldToPlane(plane) method is doing?

(If a tranformation matrix is return from this method, and if it describes how to convert from one coordinate system to another, how can it work? (Because when a plane is defined: a normal vector and an origin is enough to define it - meaning that the x and y axis can be pointing anywhere - so am confused as to what it is doing, and how it will work. )

The documentation gives this reply, which I can't make sense of:

To define a coordinate system given a normal vector (Z axis), AutoCAD uses the "Arbitrary Axis Algorithm".

Thank you!
