IntersectWith not working correctly VBA

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm Acad 2010 user. The attached file, the problem seems. I'm having trouble polyline you change the location of objects. When I move to area 1. Polyline inside area 1 the trimmed length is correct. But When I move to area 2 Polyline inside area 2 the trimmed length is incorrect. Remains a small piece of magenta polyline.

 

Is UCS values ​​is bigger is going on?

 

However, when you have made a query. Acad finds 2 intersection point in area 2, incorrect. And Acad finds 1 intersection point in area 1,correct.

 

I do not understand the problem. Thanks for your help.

 

(All Z values ​​to zero. All objects is polyline)

Your problem has nothing to do with the area of the drawing that you are in, but with the method of using the Trim command.

 

If you trim by choosing a cutting edge, you get the result in area 1.

 

If you trim by letting AutoCAD choose the cutting edge, you get the result in area 2. Your polyline is not curve fitted and consists of a series of straight lines. What has happened is that AutoCAD chose the segment of the polyline to the right of the true intersection and used an imaginary extension of that line (the black dashed line in the picture) for the Trim. Hence your difference.

I'm sorry I do not understand the full solution. My english is a little poor. There are a lot drawing of polylines. I do it all. What should I do. Required lengths of polylines to me. Where should I set? Can you tell me step by step. I'm sorry. Thank you.

When you use the Trim command, keep looking at the command line, which tells you what to do.

 

First of all, it tells you to "Select cutting edges"and then "Select objects". If you press return at this point, then you are letting AutoCAD choose the cutting edges.

So you must pick your cutting edge, in this case the yellow polyline. When you have finished selecting the cutting edges, you press Return to let AutoCAD know that you have finished selecting the cutting edges.

Then the command line says "select object to trim......" and then you pick your magenta line.

 

If you still do not understand, then you should look at your help files, which should be in your own language.

Hi eldon thanks for help.

 

But there's a problem. I got to the intersection point. Point with VBA to read. Very points. But it shows an incorrect result. I'm not sure this is the place to VBA forum? VBA does not work why? Do you have one you know? Thanks in advance. The same two points. But the result is different from 2. Very stuck. I need to find.

Give different results in the same code area 1. Area 2 also give different results.

 

Thanks for help.

I got to the point of intersection of two polylines. The process will be repeated many times. However, according to the VBA codes trying different UCS coordinates. Codes in area 1 is working correctly. Working in the wrong area 2.

 

Similarly, there is also the problem trim. You can see the link below.

I can't see the point of the selection sets for holding a single entity, you already have two variables for your polylines and then using them with GETENTITY you can omit your selection sets with the respective code, the two loops, which are doing nothing anyway, and your first message box. You have not declared the variable 'pts' either.

 

Try this ammended code:

 

Sub IPNT()

   Dim Poly1   As AcadLWPolyline
   Dim Poly2   As AcadLWPolyline
   Dim pts     As Variant
   Dim varPick As Variant
   Dim objEnt  As AcadEntity
   
   ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity objEnt, varPick, "Select Poly 1: "
   If objEnt.ObjectNAme = "AcDbPolyline" then
       Set Poly1 = objEnt
   End If
   
   ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity objEnt, varPick, "Select Poly 1: "
   If objEnt.ObjectNAme = "AcDbPolyline" then
       Set Poly1 = objEnt
   End If
   
   pts = Poly1.IntersectWith(Poly2, acExtendNone)
   
   MsgBox "X= " & pts(0) & vbCr & "Y= " & pts(1), vbInformation, "Intersection Point"
   
End Sub

Can you please be more specific when describing your problem, I do not understand what it is. What exactly do you mean by

Of intersection is not working correctly.
? What is not working correctly?

 

Describe the steps you have taken and which results are wrong. Check in your drawing the physical intersection coordinates of the two polylines and do these agree with what your program is delivering?

Hi Tyke. I told a more descriptive way. Waiting for assistance. Thanks in advance.

 

Objects gives an error when I move into the area 2. Deceive me. (UCS) coordinates is making the problem be?

Hi 4gokay,

 

Now I see the problem and it can possibly be linked with your trim problem. I see the problem as being that you have a node on your yellow polyline that is 0.039 mm from the intersection point of the two lines. The second set of coordinates are the coordinates of the node. If I move this node so it is 0.060 mm from the intersection point then your code returns only one intersection point. It is as though there is a search radius of approximately 0.05 mm and any line segments within that radius will return an intersection point with the other polyline. What I don't understand is that in the other 'areas' which are identical to area 1 do not return 2 intersections. I copied the 'original area' and that returned 2 intersectio points. I Googled and found lots of reported problems with the IntersectWith method, so it could well be a bug in VBA.

 

Unfortunately I see no fix for the problem. Sorry. Let's see if anybody else can help.

Curiously... It appears as though when one copies the line work 'up' two coordinates of intersection are returned, yet 'down' only one.

 

To test my theory, try copying Area 1 between Area 1 and Area 2 in the Y, and between the Areas and the white line work at right and two coordinates are returned.

 

However, were you to move the resultant copy of Area 1 down in the Y, so that it now is located between the original Area 1 and the bottom of the white line work at right, then one coordinate is returned.

I can confirm what you say RenderMan. But why? That is what I don't understand. But if the OP is working only with original polylines then the problem should not arise as it seems to be just in certain copied objects.

 

In area 1, if you draw over the two polylines with two new polylines and then delete the original ones, you still get two intersection points returned. That busts the theory above. I have no explanation!

Hi Tyke.

 

I would not be the solution to the problem. But to me the right part. Examine the better. Problem coordinate systems. I think. I wonder if digits may be coming fortunes? When the problem will not come close to the coordinates 0,0,0. When away from problems and errors. Greetings.
