Desperate - retrieving coordinates problem

[VvierA]

So everything works fine with my new level dimension tool but I have a severe problem with viewport annotation on sheet layers.

My auto level dimension tool gets the dimension by using:

GetSymLoc(hParm, x, y);

y is displayed as the level dimension.

The problem with viewport annotation on sheet layers is, that "GetSymLoc(hParm, x, y);" doesn't get the y-coordinate of the underlying design layer BUT of the sheet layer.

So for example if I move my viewport an my sheet layer to rearrange my layout every level dimension will change.

Is there any chance to 'access' the coordinate system of the underlying design layer from within a viewport annotation?

Any help appreciated

Maybe this article can help you out.

Thank you. I studied the article - very interesting but there is no obvious solution.

Maybe somebody knows the answer and in the meantime I will do some tests. Maybe I find the solution.

Still desperate. I tested every thing I imagined but no help.

I'm still looking to get the position of an PIO in relation to the internal origin or rather in relation to the underlying design layer.

So that the position remains the same, even if the viewport is moved.

Alternatively I am trying to get the position of a viewport in relation to the internal origin. So I could calculate the position of my PIO in relation to the internal origin.

Any help?

Solved the problem.

Checked for the position of the viewport and computed it with the position of the PIO inside the viewport.

This way I get the position of the PIO relative to the internal origin (I hope - I'm not sure, but it works.).
