Problem with TdxfExportData.Scale

Hello,
I have a problem with TdxfExportData.Scale.
When I insert a group and fill the Scale-attribut with data like(0.9,0.9,1)
the start-position of the group change.
What have I to do when i want to scale a group and freeze point down/left
A example :

Code: Select all

<b>procedure</b> TTestForm.Test_Scale_BtnClick(Sender: TObject);
<b>var</b>
 E : TsgDXFExport;
 Data : TdxfExportData;
 vLayer: TsgExpDXFLayer;
 pPoint : PdxfPoint;
<b>begin</b>
  E := TsgDXFExport.Create;
  E.Use01MM := True;
  //Create block 'Test1'
    E.BeginBlock('Test1');
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLUE;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(25, 50, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(75, 50, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
    E.EndBlock;
//Insert block 'Test1' to the drawing
    FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
    vLayer := TsgExpDXFLayer.Create('Block1');
    E.CurrentLayer := vLayer;
    Data.Thickness := 0;
    Data.Text := 'Test1';
    Data.Scale := MakeExpPoint(1, 1, 0);
    Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(25, -25, 0);
    E.Insert(Data);
//Create block 'Test2'
    E.BeginBlock('Test2');
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLUE;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(100, 0, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(100, 50, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
    E.EndBlock;
//Insert block 'Test2' to the drawing
    FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
    vLayer := TsgExpDXFLayer.Create('Block2');
    E.CurrentLayer := vLayer;
    Data.Thickness := 1;
    Data.Text := 'Test2';
    Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(-25, 0, 0);
    Data.Scale := MakeExpPoint(1, 1, 0);
    E.Insert(Data);

  //Create block 'Test3'
    E.BeginBlock('Test3');
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLACK;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLACK;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(50, 0, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(50, 50, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(50, 50, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(100, 50, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(100, 50, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(100, 0, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(100, 0, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(50, 0, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
    E.EndBlock;
  //Insert block 'Test3' to the drawing
    FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
    vLayer := TsgExpDXFLayer.Create('Block3');
    E.CurrentLayer := vLayer;
    Data.Thickness := 1;
    Data.Text := 'Test3';
    Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(0, 0, 0);
    Data.Scale := MakeExpPoint(0.9, 0.9, 1); //  MakeExpPoint(1, 1, 1);
    E.Insert(Data);
//  Save file
    E.SaveToFile('C:\tmp\MoveTest_2.dxf');

Hello!

1. You have missed the following line:

Code: Select all

E.AddLType('ACADISO03W100', [5,-5]);

2. Property <b>TsgDXFInsert.Point</b> is responsible for the insert point of the block. A scale factor (<b>TdxfExportData.Scale</b>) influences the insert point in no way.

Try the following code:

Code: Select all

<b>procedure</b> TForm1.Forum3041Click(Sender: TObject);
<b>var</b>
 E: TsgDXFExport;
 Data: TdxfExportData;
 vLayer: TsgExpDXFLayer;

<b>begin</b>
  E := TsgDXFExport.Create;
  E.Use01MM := False;
  //Create block 'Test1'
  E.AddLType('ACADISO03W100', [5,-5]);
    E.BeginBlock('Test1');
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype  // bad line type
      Data.Color := DXF_BLUE;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(25, 50, 0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(75, 50, 0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
    E.EndBlock;
//Insert block 'Test1' to the drawing
    FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
    vLayer := TsgExpDXFLayer.Create('Block1');
    E.CurrentLayer := vLayer;
    Data.Thickness := 0;
    Data.Text := 'Test1';
    Data.Scale := MakeExpPoint(1, 1, 0);
    Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(25, -25, 0);
    E.Insert(Data);
//Create block 'Test2'
    E.BeginBlock('Test2');

Hi Sergey,
I change your example to explain what is my problem.
1. All blocks are inserted at the same coordinates (0,0,0)
2. No block is scaled.
When i run this example the 3. block is in the 3. sector of the cross(block 1 and block 2)
When i change the scale values in block 3 to (10,10,1) the startpoint for drawing the box changes (corner down-left).
The box did't start at (50,0,0).
It seems i must change the InsertPoint of the group.

Thx

Hello Schulz!

First of all try the following code instead of yours when creating block 'Test3'. And you will see that after changing

Code: Select all

Data.Scale := MakeExpPoint(1, 1, 1)

to

Code: Select all

Data.Scale := MakeExpPoint(10, 10, 1)

the start point of the rectangle remains the same.

Code: Select all

  //Create block 'Test3'
    E.BeginBlock('Test3');
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLACK;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLACK;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(0,0,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(0,50,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(0,50,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(50,50,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(50,50,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(50,0,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(50,0,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(0,0,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
    E.EndBlock;

Secondly, if you need to scale your block equally in all directions it is necessary to set its coordinates basing on point of origin (X=0,Y=0,Z=0) as the following code:

Code: Select all

  //Create block 'Test3'
    E.BeginBlock('Test3');
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLACK;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      FillChar(Data, SizeOf(Data), 0);
      Data.Text := 'ACADISO03W100';// linetype
      Data.Color := DXF_BLACK;
      Data.Thickness := 3;
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(-25,-25,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(25,-25,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(25,-25,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(25,25,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(25,25,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(-25,25,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
      Data.Point := MakeExpPoint(-25,25,0);
      Data.Point1 := MakeExpPoint(-25,-25,0);
      E.AddLine(Data);
    E.EndBlock;
