Hi;

how do I access the Quantize information programmatically? The AM shows it as part of the Move / Rotate / Scale tools (Snap settings -> Quantize), however, the tools share the same underlying values. What's the proper way to read and set those?

Hi again;

no replies yet, so I searched through the sources textually. There seem to be no regular functions to access the Quantize information, but naturally I can look into the Description of the Tool dialog, which says

BOOL SNAP_LOCAL_MOVEENABLE { }
REAL SNAP_LOCAL_MOVE { UNIT METER; }

Now, I naively assume that I could set these values in the BaseContainer they're in, and thereby change the information and the application's behavior. But where can I find this Container? For objects or tags, this is easy, but generally speaking:

Where do I find the BaseContainers for built-in tools (and other objects that are not part of the object tree)?

Seems I'm missing a rather large chunk of very basic information here... thanks in advance for any hint...

You have to use GetSettingsInstance() to obtain the snap settings container. Example:

> \> Bool MenuTest::Execute(BaseDocument \*doc) \> { \> StopAllThreads(); \> \> BaseContainer \*bc = doc->GetSettingsInstance(SETTINGS_MODELER); \> \> bc->SetBool(SNAP_LOCAL_MOVEENABLE, TRUE); \> bc->SetReal(SNAP_LOCAL_MOVE, 100.0); \> \> doc->Message(MSG_UPDATE); \> \> EventAdd(); \> \> return TRUE; \> } \>

cheers,

Oops, so I was looking in the wrong containers... thanks for the info!
