Aligning 3D solids

[Ramesh PK]

Is there any way of aligning one 3D object with other using VBA?

VBA would be limited - maybe with just regular Boxes and Cylinders.

 

 

The BREP API available to ARX/.NET would allow more capabilities.

Probably better to look at Inventor I appreciate it does have a cost 2007 upgrade others will comment I don use. Like Seant if you have simple primitives probably possible with VBA. Maybe something like a current UCS compare new UCS and use rotate3d to align then move.

 

Can you post a image of the objects to be religned.

I'm trying to mess something up with NET. I use VS2010 and AutoCAD2010 and downloaded the ObjectARX 2010 SDK. but the line

[color=blue]using[/color] Autodesk.AutoCAD.BoundaryRepresentation;

results in an error. Searching through folders I found .dbx and .arx files referring to BREP but not a .dll file at all.

How can I reference BREP NET libraries properly? Am I missing a piece of something?

Thank you

Typically, the reference can be found at:

.../ObjectARX 2010/inc/acdbmgdbrep.dll

 

 

Remember to set Copy Local = False

that made it!

unless the path was "...\AutoCAD 2010\ObjectARX 2010\inc-x64"
