Attach Symbol to Cursor

[Patrick Winkler]

Hello,

 

when a symbol is double clicked in the Resource Manager it gets attached to the cursor.

Is it possible to recreate that behaviour by a VS command?

 

I need this for a tool that creates a symbol. The symbol should be ready to insert when the dialog is confirmed.

What about the MouseDown command? It won't give you a preview of your symbol, but you could let the user decide where to insert the symbol that way..

You can use the CallTool command to use the symbol insertion tool. Your script would set the active symbol definition prior.

Thanks for your proposals.

 

    kCallTool_2D_Sym = -209    
    vs.SetActSymbol('SymName')
    vs.CallTool(kCallTool_2D_Sym)
