Topic: prompt for second Enter or Select an Angle: Specify second point:

[jcoon]

Hi All,

When I run this sample is see the prompt myPAR = myEd.GetAngle("Enter or Select an Angle: ") to select the first point or enter an angle
but I don't see where the second prompt comes from

The second prompt asks for Specify second point: where does this prompt come from?

I think it's coming from PromptDoubleResult here but I don't know how to find or change the prompt PromptDoubleResult value to a different string to the user.


Thank you
John

<CommandMethod("EnterAngleA")> _
    Public Sub EnterAngleA()
        Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database
        Dim myDWG As ApplicationServices.Document
        Dim myEd As EditorInput.Editor
        Dim myPAR As EditorInput.PromptDoubleResult
        myDWG = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
        myDB = myDWG.Database
        myEd = myDWG.Editor
        myPAR = myEd.GetAngle("Enter or Select an Angle: ")
        MsgBox(myPAR.Value.ToString)
    End Sub

It's internal as you need 2 points to define an angle.

Bryco,

Thank you. Thats what I thought but I had not idea where is was comming from. I guess the next question is can you change that prompt or whould I have to use another type of prompt to ask the use to select an object? In my case I want to ask the user to select the end of a runway and I want to be able to get the rubber band feature when selecting the two points so I can set the xaxis so In can draw other objects using the polar points from those defined points.

again thank you,

John

Use getpoint twice, the second time you use basepoint

Bryco,

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
