This example shows how to construct a 2D PolyLine in a drawing document.
//-------------------------------------------------------------- // Preconditions: // 1. Create a C# Windows console project. // 2. Copy and paste this example into the C# IDE. // 3. Add a reference to: // install_dir\APISDK\tlb\DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.dll. // 4. Add references to System and System.Windows.Forms. // 5. Start DraftSight and open a document. // 6. Start debugging the project. // // Postconditions: A message box pops up when a 2D PolyLine is // inserted in the drawing document. //---------------------------------------------------------------- using DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation; using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Windows.Forms; static class Module1 { public static void Main() { DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.Application dsApp; Document dsDoc = default(Document); Model dsModel = default(Model); SketchManager dsSketchManager = default(SketchManager); PolyLine dsPolyLine = default(PolyLine); double[] coordinates = new double[8]; bool closed;
