Hello.

I have a ToolData plugin.

The following code returns false:

ModelingCommandData cd;
cd.doc = GetActiveDocument();
if (!SendModelingCommand(MY_TOOLDATA_PLUGIN_ID, cd)) 
	return false;

I can see it as command in "Customize Commands" window and it works fine when I select it and click "Execute" there.

Why does SendModelingCommand fails to call it ?

Thank you.

Hello,

using the "Customize Commands" dialog you are just enabling the tool. This can also be achieved using BaseDocument::SetAction() (see BaseDocument Manual).

If you want to invoke the tool using SendModelingCommand() you have to implement ToolData::DoCommand() in your plugin class.

best wishes,
Sebastian
