ocs coordinates
ocs coordinates
while i am reading through model space entities, some objects are stored in a ocs system and the coordinates need transforming into the wcs ones.
how do i go about doing this?
thanks.

you can use odgematrix3d::worldtoplane(odgevector3d normal) and odgematrix3d:lanetoworld(odgevector3d normal) to get ocs<->wcs transforms.
note that most functions in dd return wcs coordinates.

under dwgdirect, how can one ascertain that they must transform the coordinate into wcs (using th emethods you mentioned)? i have to ensure i am using the wcs values.

check the help docs for each member function--it will list what coordinate system is used for the returned coordinates.

great, i will check.

i also found there are methods, like vertexposition and getpointat which return the coordinate in wcs.
these functions are very useful.
