store selection sets as .mod

vr — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 10:22:12 GMT

Hi,

i got a hint to ask in this forum for a solution to store selection sets as .mod files using some sort of code.

Unfortunatly with the Python API it is not possible to do that. But the Idea of a Design Forum memver was to use some sort of C++ Add-on or code to do the trick. But i have no clue of programming in C++ so i would be very greatful for hint where i can start.

Deas anyone have an idea where to start on how i can store several selection sets as seperate .mod files?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi ACAPI_Automate Function can help you.

This's example code

/* save all elements in the current zoom as module file */ IO::Location location ("C:\\temp\\CurrentView.mod"); API_SelectionInfo selectionInfo; GSErrCode err = NoError; if (location.GetStatus () == NoError) { BNZeroMemory (&selectionInfo, sizeof (API_SelectionInfo)); selectionInfo.typeID = API_MarqueeHorBox; ACAPI_Database (APIDb_GetZoomID, &selectionInfo.marquee.box, nullptr); err = ACAPI_Selection_SetMarquee (&selectionInfo); /* set the marquee rect to the current zoom */ } if (err == NoError) { err = ACAPI_Automate (APIDo_SaveAsModuleFileID, &location, nullptr); BNZeroMemory (&selectionInfo, sizeof (API_SelectionInfo)); ACAPI_Selection_SetMarquee (&selectionInfo); /* remove the marquee */ }
