get UCS coordinates

mohit1007

Hi,

   I am developing an application (as an Add-In) with the following aim:

I have a CAD model imported in the workstation.

And then I click on a random point in that CAD model.

Based on the orientation of the CAD model, I want to draw a vector (Arrow) pointing perpendicular to the surface (lets not worry about which of the two directions that arrow is pointing).

How do I program this in C#. I mean, in robotstudio, I can see that whenever we click on the graphic view, there is a UCS coordinate information.

And there is a draw arrow sort of class in PC-SDK.

any feedback wil be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

Sorry for late reply.

Please find below some code that you might find useful. It's not a ready solution but perhaps a step in the right direction...An arrow will be drawn from the pick point on the box to WObj0 see image.

 

public static void AddinMain()
{
            GraphicPicker.GraphicPick += new GraphicPickEventHandler(GraphicPicker_GraphicPick);
}

 

static void GraphicPicker_GraphicPick(object sender, GraphicPickEventArgs e)
{
            Part p = e.PickedObject as Part;
            if (p == null) return;
            DrawMarker(p, e.PickedPosition);
}

static void DrawMarker(Part p, Vector3 pos)
{
            Station s = Project.ActiveProject as Station;
            TemporaryGraphic g = s.TemporaryGraphics.DrawArrow(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), pos, 1 / 100, 1 / 1000, Color.Blue);
}
