Modifying Zone marker - scale offset and rotation

Mathias Jonathan — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 09:45:49 GMT

Hi!

I would like to modify the OOTB zone marker. I really like the possibility to have different position for the marker when using the 1/500, 1/100 or 1/200 scale whith the x and y offset.

The problem is that this offset is relative to the rotation of the view and not to an actual displacement in space:

If I offset the mark in my part to the right, and create a second view with a 90° rotation, the mark will end up at the top (or bottom) of the part.

I'd like the position to be fixed.

I've created a simple object (a square + text with positioning managed by a hot spot) that has the desired behavior.

I tried to modify the zone marker. The marker itself has the desired behavior, but the hot spot doesn't really work anymore... Can you help me?

What I tried:

r = request ("View_Rotangle", "", _angleViewRot) hypothenuse=SQR((offsetX^2)+(offsetY^2)) IF hypothenuse THEN TEST2=(offsetX/hypothenuse) ELSE TEST2=0 ENDIF IF posy>0 THEN alpha=ACS(TEST2)+_angleViewRot ELSE alpha=-ACS(TEST2)+_angleViewRot ENDIF offsetX =(cos(alpha)*hypothenuse) offsetY =(sin(alpha)*hypothenuse) ROT2 _angleViewRot hotspot2 0, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 1+128 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 -1, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 3 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 2 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, 0, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 1+128 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, -1, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 3 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 2 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 DEL 1

What was before:

if GLOB_SCALE < 100 then offsetX = offsetX_50 offsetY = offsetY_50 hotspot2 0, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 1+128 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 -1, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 3 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 2 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, 0, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 1+128 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, -1, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 3 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 2 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1

Hi,

there is an option for zone stamps to rotate with the model:

If that doesn't solve your problem:

hotspots work in the transformed coordinate system, you don't need to recalculate their positions.

! show model x, y, axes line2 0,0,1,0 line2 0,0,0,1 r = request ("View_Rotangle", "", _angleViewRot) ! undo view rotation ROT2 -_angleViewRot ! define hotspots in rotated coordinate system offsetX = offsetX_50 offsetY = offsetY_50 unIDoffset = 1 hotspot2 0, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 1+128 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 -1, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 3 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetX_50", 2 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, 0, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 1+128 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, -1, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 3 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 hotspot2 offsetX, offsetY, unIDoffset, "offsetY_50", 2 : unIDoffset = unIDoffset + 1 ! draw in same coordinate system line2 0,0, offsetX, offsetY

Zone stamp positioning information is not available for GDL, you can't achieve a solution which works with all possible combination of settings.
