gray out entities

[fehrsZBFB9]

Hallo Guys,

I have a custom drag operation based on the AcEdJig class. It works fine so far.

The dragged object is shown dimmed in its original position while the operation is active.

I use transparency for the dimming. I compared this to AutoCAD commands. For example MOVE. The original object is grayed out. But in a smart way. Its color depends on the current background color. I would like to do the same instead of using transparency because transparency can be turned off.

Do you know of an easy way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Try this:

AcEdDragStyle::StyleType styleTypeForOriginal = AcEdDragStyle::kTransparent75;
AcEdDragStyle::StyleType styleTypeForDragged = AcEdDragStyle::kNone;
AcEdDragStyle myDragStyle( styleTypeForOriginal, styleTypeForDragged );

AcEdJig *jig = ... // Your jig
DragStatus stat = jig->drag(myDragStyle);

See  class AcEdDragStyle and enum AcEdDragStyle::StyleType.

Sadly I had no success using this. I tried! Its refering to an original Entity. But There was no original entity visible no matter which settings I used. I always saw only the dragged entity. My entity is a blockreference.
