When converting Model Edge Start and End points, how come I am getting the same point in the view after converting using the View.ModeltoViewTransform.
The basic premise of this is to select one of these points to dimension off of the point itself not the edge. For some reason after the "swModelViewPoint.MultiplyTransform(swViewXform)" it returns the exact same point even when "vPtData1" and "vPtData2" have different numbers (I usually find this happening when X1 = (negative double) and X2 = (positive same double)). This will be used for auto dimension of a virtual sharp to an edge point, and ordinate dimensions.
Any help at all would be very much appreciated! This issue is pressing so quick feedback would especially be welcome! Thank you!
Below the code is trying to select the start and end point of an edge, but returns the same point.
Here is the example code.
'xxxxxxxxx START xxxxxxxxx
Dim myEdge as Edge
Dim nPtData(2) As Double
Dim swModelViewPoint As MathPoint
' THE MULTIPLIER
swViewXform = myView.ModelToViewTransform
' GATHERING THE EDGE DATA
Dim myEdgeStartVertex As Vertex = myEdge.IGetStartVertex
Dim myEdgeEndVertex As Vertex = myEdge.IGetEndVertex
Dim myEdgeStartPoints As Double() = myEdgeStartVertex.GetPoint()
Dim myEdgeEndPoints As Double() =myEdgeEndVertex.GetPoint()
' BUILDING THE NEW VERTEX (this is actually redundant it is laid out different in my program)
' START POINTS
nPtData(0) = myEdgeStartPoints(0)
nPtData(1) = myEdgeStartPoints(1)
nPtData(2) = myEdgeStartPoints(2)
vPtData1 = nPtData
' END POINTS
nPtData(0) = myEdgeEndPoints(0)
nPtData(1) = myEdgeEndPoints(1)
nPtData(2) = myEdgeEndPoints(2)
vPtData2 = nPtData
swModelViewPoint = swMathUtil.CreatePoint(vPtData1)
swModelViewPoint = swModelViewPoint.MultiplyTransform(swViewXform)
nPtData = swModelViewPoint.ArrayData
boolstatus = myModel.Extension.SelectByID2("", "VERTEX", nPtData(0), nPtData(1), nPtData(2), True, 0, Nothing, 0)
' CONVERTING AND SELECTING POINT 2
swModelViewPoint = swMathUtil.CreatePoint(vPtData2)
swModelViewPoint = swModelViewPoint.MultiplyTransform(swViewXform)
nPtData = swModelViewPoint.ArrayData
boolstatus = myModel.Extension.SelectByID2("", "VERTEX", nPtData(0), nPtData(1), nPtData(2), True, 0, Nothing, 0)
'xxxxxxxxx END xxxxxxxxx
