How do I add Translation to an Alignment

[huyc2GQZL]

I just got into PowerInspect development
As shown below

I want to automatically create a user-defined Alignment
Then create a Translation with default values
Now I don't know how to write my code next, can anyone help me?
Here is my current code snippet

power_inspect.Documents.Add();
ISequenceItem newAlignment = active_document.SequenceItems.AddAlignment(PWI_AlignmentType.pwi_alg_UserDefined);
newAlignment.Name = "G54";

Thanks!

Here is a snipped that hopefully will help. It does more than you need, but it is easy to cut it down 🙂

// Set up a matrix to be used for the alignment
var mtb = pi.CreateLocalObject("PWIMathBox.MathToolbox");
var vector = pi.CreateLocalObject("PWIMathBox.Vector");
vector.SetCoordinates(0,0,1);
var matrix1 = pi.CreateLocalObject("PWIMathBox.Transform");
matrix1.CreateRotation(vector, 45);

var matrix2 = pi.CreateLocalObject("PWIMathBox.Transform");
vector.SetCoordinates(10,20,30);
matrix2.CreateTranslation(vector);
var matrix_final = mtb.MultiplyTransform(matrix1, matrix2);

// Create an alignment item with the matrix as transform
var alg = pi.ActiveDocument.SequenceItems.AddItem(pwi_alg_UserDefined_);
alg.ParameterTransformation.Matrix.Transform.CreateCopy(matrix_final);
alg.Refresh();

Thanks,

Hi Dmitriy:

Thank you very much for your reply

I Can't run your code directly, probably because I'm using the latest PI2023 library
But it still helps me

Also ask, for beginners, PowerInspect secondary development is there more introductory materials to learn?

I now have the API Manual and Autodesk's Open Source PowerInspect project
But it's still hard to understand.
Please excuse my English, this is machine translation

Thank you

Sorry, no additional learning content is available. Autodesk's Open Source PowerInspect project is probably the best source of examples. Feel free to post your questions here on forum though.

Thanks,

Dmitriy
