Get the points selected by stretch

Aritra over 14 years ago

Hi,

Is there any SKILL function available for getting the points selected by stretch operation ?

Please assist.

If you mean to find out which points on a polygon or other shape have been partially selected (also when in partial selection mode as toggled by the F4 bindkey), then that would be geGetSelSetFigPoint(shapeId)
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

The above command geGetSelSetFigPoint(shapeId) returns (t nil) or (nil t) based on pathSeg's beginPt and endPt selected.

But consider my case, I have a horizontal metal pathSeg. And for stretching, I am selecting the right side of this horizontal metal pathSeg to be stretched, how should I get the coordinates of the selected side(right side in this case) of this metal irrespective of its beginPt or endPt.

Thanks,

Leo

Hi Leo,

Well, the beginPt and endPt will be ordered depending on the direction it was drawn in, so if you want to find which of the two is the rightmost, presumably you'd compare the two x-coordinates and determine which was the larger?

Not quite sure why you're posting on the end of a 10-year old thread - the forum guidelines ask you not to do that.
