Topic: OSNAP problem...

[Andrea]

Hi,

I'm trying to found why the "mcco" variable do not work..
My osnap was set to "END POINT" only...
so if I use this simple routine...

Code: [Select]

(prompt "\nSelect objects to move...")
(setq ali_o1 (ssget))
(setq albasep (getpoint "\nBase point..."))
(setq mcco (acet-ss-drag-move ali_o1 albasep "Move object to ..."))
and than select middle snap to a simple line...
the !mcco variable return me the end of the line.

why ?

I won't comment on acet functions because I refuse to use, support or advocate them.

PS: You really should check that results returned by ssget and getpoint calls are valid, lest reliant code fail.

OT: Sure hope you're not using the acet stuff in your commercial product. IMO that would be a dreadful mistake.

/Opinions, just one of the services I provide.

I have discovered the acet command...few week ago....but this is the first time i use it...perhaps..
i'm dispointed of AutoCAD...

thanks MP.

ok...so now how can i do a drag...
replacing this..



(setq mcco (acet-ss-drag-move ali_o1 albasep "Move to..."))

If you need to have a ghosting image as you fake moving an object about, or want to mimic dynamic block insertion etc. you can do a surprising amount with grread, grdraw, grvecs ... and a dash of imagination.

MP..

I have tried some of those..
but no one have drag options...

also..I have tried with     (setq e (getpoint))

and the problem still the same...

so I think the problem is not the acet function but AutoCAD snap settings BUG with lisp.

You have to 'roll your own' drag code using grread, grdraw, grvecs and like I said, I won't advise on acet functions.

Wow !!....all I need to do for a simple routine...
anyway...

thanks MP...I'll check it out.

[MP]

It's easy stuff, even I could do it. Do you want some help?
