Movable hotspot problems

Anonymous

Hi!

What is wrong with this free moving hotspot?

HOTSPOT2 koord[1], 0, idp, koord[2], 1+128
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], 0, idp+1, koord[2], 3
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], koord[2], idp+2, koord[2], 2
HOTSPOT2 0, koord[2], idp+3, koord[1], 1+128
HOTSPOT2 0, koord[2], idp+4, koord[1], 3
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], koord[2], idp+5, koord[1], 2
My problem is that if X or Y got value 0, I can't move in that direction anymore?

For shure. In this cas all coordinates are equal. For this is the reference hotspot needed. See HOTSPOT2.

This should work. In case of Allplan does not understand GDL I can't proof 😉 :
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], 0, idp, koord[2], 1+128
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], -0.1, idp+1, koord[2], 3
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], koord[2], idp+2, koord[2], 2
HOTSPOT2 0, koord[2], idp+3, koord[1], 1+128
HOTSPOT2 -0.1, koord[2], idp+4, koord[1], 3
HOTSPOT2 koord[1], koord[2], idp+5, koord[1], 2

Doh, like Piff or Puff said on Donald Duck and friends have their christmasholiday.

"Thank you", why didn't I saw that?

The reference hotspot is not visible, but its distance to the base is not irrelevant, because it increases the internal calculated maximal object size. Small objects should use a short distance.
