Getting coordinates of next point

fbaumann · Post by **fbaumann** » 17 Jun 2006, 13:50

Hello, I am using CadImportVcl Vers. 5.2.5 (BCB 6) and like to create a function which search the next available DXF point to the mouse cursor. Can you give me some help for this. Is there a easy way to do this?

Another thing: is it possible to rotate a drawing around a user defined point (3D-Orbit rotation center)? Is there a rotation matrix I can work with?

regards Frank

CADImportVCL v.5.2.5 includes demo Viewer (in the ..\cadimportvcl\Delphi\Demos\Viewer\.. folder). This application demonstrates snap to the nearest point (Snap > Snap command menu). The realisation of this feature was improper and hard in usage. That is why we had to redevelop it. We just finish working on this task. It will be available on Monday for Delphi and BCB both.

This task is very difficult. We have examined several ways but they didn't give us acceptable result. We still work on this problem and inform you when receive the result.

Hello Frank,

1. We have prepared a new package of CADImportVCL. It is available on: http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/CA ... .07.06.zip
The search of the next available DXF point can be implemented basing on FSnapControl object(function FSnapControl->GetMouseCoord(X, Y)). Demo Viewer (in the ..\CADImportVCL_site_10.07.06\CBuilder\BCB6\Viewer\.. folder) contains an example of the snap usage.

2. We still work on rotation matrix problem. We'll answer you as soon as acceptable result will be achieved.

Hi Sergey,

I tested your demo. If I compile my source code my BCB6 (CadImportVcl V5.2.5) says "E2303 Typname expected". The line which is concerned in the header file: "TSnapControl *FSnapControl;"

If I compile your demo, BCB6 says: "[Linker Fataler Fehler] Fatal: Unable to open file 'WEBSNAP.LIB'". I can not find this file in my installation.

Do I need another lib, obj, ... file for my CadImportVcl?

Hi Frank,

It is necessary to check library paths: Tools > Environment Options..., tab Library, option Library path:. There there should not be the ways to your previous 5.2.5 library.

Hello Sergey,

I tried everything but it did not work with my CAD Import files. I am 99% sure that in my version of CAD Import VCL V5.25 the SnapControl is missing.

I can now compile your and my example with YOUR demo files. That is working fine.

The last version I get from you was: CADImportVCL_NoSourceCode at June 13th 2006. Can you send me a more actual one? Sorry for my nerving questions.

best regards, Frank
