Jacob,
If you remember the routine, then you probably noticed that the user had to
pick the hinge point of the door and then select the same line again in
order to get the line properties. This added one more click to the routine
that I really don't think is necessary, and that the users don't like, so I
am trying to make it so the user only has to pick once for the hingepoint
instead of twice. I need the line properties in order to erase the old
lines and add the new ones. The hingepoint does not have to be at the exact
point the user selects, but it should be close. I use nearest because our
drawings do not require that much accuracy. We just place a door in a
general location. Later I will add a function to allow the user to enter a
jamb distance and actually place the door the distance entered from a
certain endpoint (if that makes sense!)
Hope that helps explain what I am trying to accomplish.
