orthoproject failing for all eliiptical arcs
orthoproject failing for all eliiptical arcs
hi,
i have a dwg file having an elliptical arc whose normal is on the x-axis.
the ellitical arc when projected on the xy-plane returns a straight line as expected, but the end-point of the line is incorrect(for example, for the attached file, the length of the line is 1/3rd of the expected length).
we use the following code snippet for projecting ellipse onto xy plane:
code:
odgeplane plane = odgeplane::kxyplane;
odgeentity3d* entity = elliparc.orthoproject(plane);
switch(entity->type())
{
case odge::klineseg3d:
{
odgelineseg3d* lineproj = (odgelineseg3d*)entity;
odgepoint2d pointsout[2];
pointsout[0] = odgepoint2d(lineproj->startpoint().x, lineproj->startpoint().y);
pointsout[1] = odgepoint2d(lineproj->endpoint().x, lineproj->endpoint().y);
break;
case odge::kelliparc3d:
// map ellipse.
break;
in the above code, pointsout[0] comes correctly as expected, but pointsout[1] is incorrect. i am attaching a .dwg file which will exhibit the buggy behaviour.
thanks,

yes, odgeellipsearc3d project() and orthoproject() work incorrectly in case of line segment to be returned.
this will be fixed in next release/update.
thank you for reporting the problem.
