Hi there,

i have read thru the different threads here concerning joining objects. but dont get it to work.

what i am doing is loading a document :
BaseDocument* doc2 = LoadDocument(fileName,0L, NULL);
and after selecting some objects via
doc- >SetActiveObject(child, SELECTION_ADD);
i want to connect them with
CallCommand(12144);

i also tried to use SendModelingCommand MCOMMAND_JOIN, but that needs to have a group of subobjects, too, which i dont have in my base scene and CallCommand(100004772); doesnt work, too. the objects remain ungrouped.

any ideas, hints??

thanks and cheers,
Ello

I did further tests but still cant get it.

this should connect all objects in the document (at least from my understanding) but doesnt work:

and this should create a group from all objects:

ok, i found out that i first had to ensure that the document was active. now i group all objects, select the parent and CallCommand(12144), but all i get is a polygonobject with no polygons??

anyone have an idea what could cause this?

thanks in advance,
ello

i did it now with SendModelingCommand MCOMMAND_JOIN, but i still like to know why CallCommand(12144) doesnt do it?

Connect only works with polygon objects and editable splines.
