coordinate of a point on an arc
coordinate of a point on an arc
hello,
i have a problem to get the wcs-coordinate of a point on an arc
mostly following code works fine (getpointatparam returns "eok")
but sometime getpointatparam failed and return "emakemeproxyfff">" !?! what does this mean and how can i solve this problem?
code:
oddbarcptr ptrarc;
odresult result;
odgepoint3d point;
double angle;
double para;
angle = ptrarc->endangle() - ptrarc->startangle();
angle = sqrt(angle*angle);
para = ptrarc->startangle();
para += (angle / 5);
result = ptrarc->getpointatparam(para, point);
has somebody a idea?

when parameter that you pass to this function is not in parametric interval of the arc, getpointatparam returns einvalidinput. you probably mixed it with emakemeproxy.

thanks for reply. : )
i checked it again, but the return value is 1 (= emakemeproxy). thats sure!
if i go step by step through the arc, the problem appear sometimes between two valid return-points. what do you mean with "parametric interval " ? is there something like a resolution of arc-points that could be the reason for my problem?

emakemeproxy result is very strange. which dd version on which environment do you use?
please modify your code this way:
code:
oddbarcptr ptrarc;
odresult result;
odgepoint3d point;
double angle;
double para;
angle = ptrarc->endangle() - ptrarc->startangle();
angle -= floor(angle/oda2pi)*oda2pi;
para = ptrarc->startangle();
para += (angle / 5);
result = ptrarc->getpointatparam(para, point);
sincerely yours,

super!! now it works fine
it seemed to be a precision problem!
i use dwgdirect version 1.13.02 on ms visual c++ 6
thank you very much indeed!
