Good evening,
does anyone know how to use ProSelect() to let the user select a cylinder's silhouette edge on a drawing?
Imy application the user should be able to select two points on solidgeometry - then I create a broken view with ProDrawingViewBrokenVisibleAreaSet(). If I pass "point" or "axis" as filter string (first argument) to ProSelect() everything works fine. I want the user to be able to select a solid edge - that works if we are talking about a "sharp" edge. I cannot select a silhouette edge with Toolkit. Is that right? Or is there some sort of "hidden" filter available for ProSelect()?
Any experiences with this???
Regards,
Andreas

I have attached a picture with a screenshot for selecting a silhouette edge/surface.
And I want the user to be able to select this type of edge/surface...
Andreas

Andreas,
silhouette edge selection in a drawing mode was on a wish list for good 15-20 years. Still waiting for PTC to enable it.
If a silhouette edge selection is critical for your app - one of workarounds would be to make a x-section on a fly through the selected rotational surface axis and use cross-section's curves instead of silhouette edge for the selection. This is similar to what a pro/e user had to do prior wildfire releases.
HIH.
