Clipping Custom PIOs

[VectorGeek]

Hey all:

 

I have a number of custom-built 2D Path and Rectangular PIOs that we use a lot in day-to-day work. Is there a simple way to have these work with the Clip Tool? It would be great if they could be clipped and if the "Add Surface" and "Clip Surface" commands could be used with them. I assume this requires them to be event-enabled however I don't have experience making event-enabled PIOs. Any help and/or sample code would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Yes, it required the object to be event enabled and in the kObjOnInitXPropertiesSetObjPropVS event:
kObjOnInitXPropertiesSetObjPropVS( kObjXIs2DSurfaceEligable {= 14} , TRUE); { Weiler operations operate on 2D path }

You can take a look here for more information on setting up your plug-in to be event enabled.

Many, many thanks for your quick response. I have now jumped in the deep end of the pool of Event-Enabled Objects. It's like a whole new world of crippling just became available to me. The link was particularly helpful.

Got our plug-ins modified and they are working great!
