Getting Path Properties Whilst Being Placed

Hi,

I want to create a function that can obtain a paths bounding box whilst the user is still placing the path. i.e. the user has used the create path command and is adding path points, but has not clicked the enter key yet to fully place the path object.

I've tried using geGetSelSet() but it returns nil because I guess the path is not 'selected', and instead is still being created. I've been looking around and haven't come across a function or method that can do this.

Any ideas or input is appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi kdolan,

You found what you need with the graphical tool.

But for the sake of the questions, i find interesting to share with you a way to do it in skill.

defun(bBox2array (@optional (bBox list(0:1 2:3))) let((X0 Y0 X1 Y1)
X0=caar(bBox);=> 0
Y0=cadar(bBox);=> 1
X1=caadr(bBox);=> 2
Y1=cadadr(bBox);=> 3
list(X0:Y0 X1:Y0 X1:Y1 X0:Y1)))

procedure( trBBoxIntersection( bBoxList )
    let( ( llxList llyList 
        urxList     uryList
        maxllx      maxlly
        minurx      minury      )
        llxList = foreach( mapcar bBox bBoxList
            xCoord( lowerLeft( bBox )))
        llyList = foreach( mapcar bBox bBoxList
            yCoord( lowerLeft( bBox )))
        urxList = foreach( mapcar bBox bBoxList

            ( t
                list( maxllx:maxlly minurx:minury ))
            ) ; cond
      ) ; let
) ; procedure

path1=dbCreatePath(cv "M1" list(0:0 0:50 ) 10)

path1~>bBox;=> ((-5.0 0.0) (5.0 50.0))
path2~>bBox;=> ((-20.0 14.0) (20.0 26.0))

bBox=trBBoxIntersection(list(path1~>bBox path2~>bBox));=> ((-5.0 14.0) (5.0 26.0))
array=bBox2array(bBox);=> ((-5.0 14.0) (5.0 14.0) (5.0 26.0) (-5.0 26.0))
viaGenerateViasInArea(cv array myViaOptions);=> output lot of blabla in virtuoso

Hope it helps,
