Hi
Anyone has an idea how can i place/create a hotlink element based on 2D API_Coord (x and y positions)?
I did some testing and for an Object Element, the position is referenced to the Project Origin (If my understanding is correct)
Red = Project Origin
Green = User Origin
Where Obj pos.x = ~0.0 and pos.y = ~0.0
But when I created a hotlink element with x=0, y=0, z=0 coordinates it was placed here
Im using this code from the example references to convert 3d coordinates to API_Transmat
static API_Tranmat CreateTransformation(const API_Coord3D& origin, const double rotAngle)
{
API_Tranmat transformation = {};
const double co = cos(rotAngle);
const double si = sin(rotAngle);
// we need an orthogonal transformation
// origin
transformation.tmx[3] = origin.x;
transformation.tmx[7] = origin.y;
transformation.tmx[11] = origin.z;
// X axis
transformation.tmx[0] = co;
transformation.tmx[4] = si;
transformation.tmx[8] = 0.0;
// Y axis
transformation.tmx[1] = -si;
transformation.tmx[5] = co;
transformation.tmx[9] = 0.0;
// we need a valid Z axis as well
transformation.tmx[2] = 0.0;
transformation.tmx[6] = 0.0;
transformation.tmx[10] = 1.0;
return transformation;
}
