How to uncheck "Constrain"

[nitinjambhale]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to simulate the Copy + Move command from the API.

Manual Steps: I am selecting 2 elements and pressing the "CO" command, then I need to uncheck the "Constrain" checkbox, and then I am selecting the different location to paste it.

The question is, how I can uncheck "Constrain" programmatically?

Hi @nitinjambhale ,

How are you executing copy and move commands?

Are you using postable command or ElementTransformUtils?

As per my understanding, if you are using the postable command, you can check/uncheck the constrain option.

If you are using ElementTransformUtils.CopyElement/ElementTransformUtils.MoveElement you will provide a point as one of the parameters so here no need to check/uncheck the constrain option. The element will be moved to/copied to a  point(XYZ).

I hope this helps.

If this doesn't help, Could you please explain why you need to uncheck the constrain option?

Hi,

I am using ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements...

If I do not deselect "Constrain" or press shift, I only allowed to paste that vertically, but if I press shift and then move my cursor, I can allow anywhere to paste that fitting.

Can you please give me an example, how can I achieve this with PostableCommands?

Hi Naveen,

It's done! Actually, I used another overload of CopyElements that takes transform...
