How to get points from pathSeg ?

skillProgram14

Hi,

I made simple script which put automaticaly ruller on all selected pathes.

But if the path is created as pathSeg I have a problem to get the points.

There are just beginPt and endPt for each segment. :( 

Is there anybody who can help me with it ?

The script should do same as for pathes:

(if you select couple of pathes and call script....it puts ruller on each of selected pathes)

procedure( Ruler_on_Path()
prog((winId cvId selObj)
winId = hiGetCurrentWindow()
cvId = getEditRep(winId)
selObj = geGetSelSet(cvId)
if(selObj then
        foreach(shape selObj
                case( shape~>objType                  
                ("path"
                points = shape~>path
                leCreateRuler(cvId points)
                )
                );case
                );foreach
                );if
    );prog
);procedure

 

Thanks for any advice.

    The beginPt and endPt attributes are what define the legnth of a pathSeg object. In other words, a pathSeg is always have only two points.
     
    If you create a 'U' shaped path, you created one database object with 4 points.
     
    If you create the same 'U' shaped wire (implemented by pathSeg), you have acutally created three pathSeg objects. You will see that each of these pathSeg objects belong to the same 'route' object (an attribute on the pathSeg object).
     
    In order to replicate what you have done for path, you should process the selected set based on pathSeg's route value and build up a point list that represent the whole 'route' object (the U shape).
     
    Assume x is one of the pathSeg object, the following statement will give you the point list for this route object.
     
    append( x~>route~>objects~>beginPt  last(x~>route)~>endPt ) 
     
    You still need to modify the foreach loop so you only generate one ruler for each route.

    ps. I don't know is there already a public SKILL API for getting the points for a route object.
