To follow up on my previous - the answer was found simply, by finding the dot product of the second axis system matrix, and the inverse matrix from the first coordinate system, back to identity. This preserves the relationship between the coordinate systems, but gives the relative measurement...

I mean that they initially asked me for a vector based transformation. (TU=V) That requires the use of the absolute coordinates as identity. But clearly what they were asking for, was an euler angle rotation from axis to axis. I do not need help with the computations. At this point, I'm just...

I've already done the matrix math. I transformed an axis system relative to another axis system. (which both must, necessarily, be relative to absolute) End user now wants a measure of the origin point of axis system 2, relative to axis system 1. This is due to a confusion of the nature of...

I just want to return a measurement in an alternate axis system. All of my code currently goes back to global. I don't seem to be able to specify what axis system to take measures from.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Yep, it sure is. Can you also explain, why .Parent property doesn't work? (even after returning this as a properly cast object)

This was a super quick script, scrambled together to unit test a larger bit of functionality. I think it's pretty straightforward, and there's a relevant comment. So help me understand why this doesn't work. I cast selections to object types all over the place, in all kinds of code. This...

I will charge half as much as those guys. Granted, I'll take twice as long, but...

Not all APIs are exposed, and even fewer are available through record function. You should learn programming through the API documentation. It's a long, hard, road, if you haven't studied Computer Science and programming. But everything that you need to know - to get started, and a very long...

"CHM files are passing into obsolescence. I don't think Windows 10 supports them any more." Not even close. I have at least 3 copies of the automation CHM open on my screen, at any given time. Granted, most of them are VB/VBA, and that IS passing into obsolescence. But while syntax varies...

I have already published the configuration of the design table into my User Feature. No problem. However, I disagree with you about just letting end users do whatever they want. When you add configuration control, from an engineering design perspective, it's perfectly valid to restrict what...

Getting the multiple values is the easy part. What I want, is to have the option to select from a list of multiple values upon instantiation. Since User Features are black boxed, this would prevent switching the configuration post-instantiation. Which makes perfect sense when you create parts...

3DX 2017x I want to create a User Feature that has a drop down box, with pre-populated values. Great for start parts. I was thinking that it would be super simple to use a series of design tables for this. However, I've not come up with a good way to do this. The design table is immediately...

So I don't understand why one instance of .Count works, and the other doesn't. But I do understand that it occurs.

UPDATE: I have been in meetings, and I forgot to update this. I was looking for full understanding: but I got around the issue with a simple "try" and "catch" statement. I sometimes I forget that I can do that... try { if (oAnnotations.Count != 0) { for (int i = 1; i <=...
