getpointAtDist in current UCS

[Anonymous]

Hi all is there a visual lisp function like (vlax-curve-getpointAtDist) but which returns the coordinates of the point in the current ucs.

I appreciate any help.

Look into the trans function.  It only works with point lists rather than variants though.  I haven't used the vlax-tmatrix function but you could probably use it in combination with trans to do the transforms.

BTW. Thanks for asking a question about how to do something rather than one that just asks for it to be done for you!

No need to deal with variants.  The (vlax-curve-getPointAtDist) function returns not a variant but an ordinary point list, so applying (trans) to it appropriately is all that's needed.

In addition to what has already been said ...

You need to think about the source of a point you supply this function.

(n/entsel) returns a point in UCS

(getpoint/corner) UCS

(assoc 10 en) WCS

(vlax-curve-getStart/EndPoint...) WCS

(ssnamex) WCS
