Topic: How to get a Point or Text using jig?

[softempire]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new comer of this forum and does anyone know how to get a Point or Text using jig?

My case looks like I need to create a circle, and we should support picking a location or just input the radius.

I know the jig behavior is controlled by the UserInputControls property, but I still can't figure out which values to use.

    jigPtOpts->UserInputControls = UserInputControls::Accept3dCoordinates |
                                   UserInputControls::NoZeroResponseAccepted |
                                   UserInputControls::NullResponseAccepted |
                                   UserInputControls::NoNegativeResponseAccepted;

And I want to use the .NET API. Thanks very much in advance!

This should allow you to pick a point on the AutoCAD screen.

Code - C#: [Select]

1. PromptPointOptions options = new PromptPointOptions("\nPick a point for insert: ");
2.                 options.AllowNone = false;
3.                 PromptPointResult point = editor.GetPoint(options);
4.                 if (point.Status == PromptStatus.OK)
5.                 { //use point.Value for something
6.

Thanks for your reply. But how the user can input the text? What I need is to let the user to pick a point or input the text, not prompt he to pick the point and then prompt he to input the text...

Code - C#: [Select]

1.  
2. //Gets the radius of the circle from the user using GetDistance command
3.         //and draw the circle.
4.         //The user can either specify the number in the command prompt or
5.         //The user can set the distance (in this case radius of circle) also
6.         //by specifying two locations on the graphics screen.
7.         //AutoCAD draws a rubber-band line from the first point to
8.         //the current crosshair position to help the user visualize the distance.
9.         [CommandMethod("GetDistance")]
10.         public void DistanceTest()
11.         {
12.  // < ... >
13. }
