Selection follows mouse like in Move command?

[chavlji]

Is it possible in lisp to acheive effect like in Autocad's MOVE command? When user is deciding for the destination point, the selection visually follows mouse cursor... Selection is beeing constantly drawn.

 

GetPoint has no such option I think...

I can visualise three ways to accomplish this.

 

1>

 

(command "_.move" <selectionset> '(0 0 0) pause)

 

 

2>

 

With the use of the Express Tools function:

 

(acet-ss-drag-move)

 

 

3>

 

Using a GrRead loop to track cursor movements and update the position of the objects accordingly. Although this method restricts use of Ortho and OSnap.

Uou, Man! Thanks. I'll go for this GrRead method. Although it might be slow drawing some huge amount of objects... i think it draws it in snap not gradually (like in move tool). Havent checked it jet (no time). But i'll try it soon.

 

BTW this DINFO tool is amazing! Didnt thought something like this can be done with pure Lisp.

hehe thanks

 

Glad you like it

Just done some testing with GRRead...

 

Great function, but since it does not allow OSnap it is useless for geometry transformations (moving, rotating,...)

 

I know OSnap can be built in Lisp from scratch, but hej... even the whole Autocad can be
