SO I'm making a project to calculate the surface areas of a sheet metal part that has a surface finish, two types "finish1" and "finish2", but I only have access to the free java object toolkit. I know I cannot use the surface finishes nor the annotations. I had an idea to attach a note of a specific type to a surface with a surface finish and then get the surface its attached to then get its area. Is this possible? I've tried GetAttachment() as it is a DetailNoteItem and doing GetParent which returns with the part which I think isn't helpful as i none of the model items from that are surfaces. Is there another way?
//Surface Finishes
private HashMap <String, Double> getFinishes(Solid solid){
double finish1 = 0;
double finish2 = 0;
HashMap <String, Double> finishes = new HashMap <String, Double>();
try {
ModelItems modelItems = solid.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_DTL_NOTE);
for (int i = 0; i<modelItems.getarraysize(); i++) {
ModelItem modelItem = modelItems.get(i);
printMsg("modelItem: " + modelItem.GetName());
DetailNoteItem detailNoteItem = (DetailNoteItem) modelItem;
DetailTextLines textLines = detailNoteItem.GetTextLines(DetailTextDisplayOption.DISPMODE_NUMERIC);
for (int j=0;j<textLines.getarraysize();j++) {
DetailTextLine textLine = textLines.get(j);
DetailTexts texts = textLine.GetTexts();
for (int k =0;k<texts.getarraysize();k++) {
DetailText text = texts.get(k);
String note = text.GetText();
//printMsg("note: " + note);
if (modelItem.GetName().equals("Note_24")){
printMsg("Note: " + note);
try {
DetailAttachment detailAttachment = detailNoteItem.GetAttachment();
printMsg("got attachment");
printMsg("Attachment: "+ detailAttachment);
}
catch (jxthrowable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
Parent parent = detailNoteItem.GetDBParent();
printMsg("got parent");
printMsg("Parent: " + parent);
Part parentPart = (Part) parent;
ModelItems parentModelItems = parentPart.ListItems(null);
for (int l = 0; l<parentModelItems.getarraysize();l++) {
ModelItem parentModelItem = parentModelItems.get(l);
//printMsg("modelItem: "+ parentModelItem);
}
}
catch (jxthrowable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
Child child = detailNoteItem.GetChild(null);
printMsg("got child");
printMsg("Child: " + child);
}
catch (jxthrowable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
finishes.put("finish1",finish1);
finishes.put("finish2",finish2);
}catch (jxthrowable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return finishes;
}
