Hi everyone 

I try to create add-in for new dimension

and i use pickpoint to create line for dimension.

It work on view plan but in elevation or section it not allowed to pick except setting active workplan in view before execute.

Can i fix it?

Thank for your recommend.

Hi!

Here is the method that for each view, sets the working plane that passes through its Origin. You can call it before you access the PickPoint method.

public void SetViewDefaultWorkPlane(View view)
{
    SketchPlane sketchPlane = SketchPlane.Create(
        doc,
        Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(
            view.ViewDirection,
            view.Origin
        )
    );
    view.SketchPlane = sketchPlane;
}

using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "Set View Default Work Plane"))
{
    t.Start();
    SetViewDefaultWorkPlane(view);
    t.Commit();
}
