javascript
// Create a copy of the object
var newPolyline = object.Copy();

Delete

javascript
object.Delete()

Properties {#properties}

Events {#events}

Modified

This event is triggered when the object is modified in any way, including adding or removing vertices, or changing its properties.

javascript
function onModified(sender, args) {
// Code to execute when the object is modified
}
object.Modified.add(onModified);

Usage Examples {#usage-examples}

Creating a Circle

javascript
// Create a new Circle
function DrawCircleInAppCAD()
var cadDoc = acadApp.ActiveDocument;
//Declaration of a variable to put the center point of a circle
var centerPoint[];

//Set the center point
centerPoint[0] = 5; //X-coordinate
centerPoint[1] = 10; //Y-coordinate
centerPoint[2] = 2; //Z-coordinate

//Declaration of a variable to contain the radius and Radius setting
var radius = 2; //radus

//Set the beginning and end angles of the arc.
var startAngle = cells(2,5) * (3.14159265358979 / 180); //Convert angles to radians
var endAngle = cells(2,6) * (3.14159265358979 / 180); //Convert angles to radians

//Create arc
var arcObj = cadDoc.ModelSpace.AddArc(centerPoint, radius, startAngle, endAngle);

//Display of object range
cadDoc.Application.ZoomExtents();

//redraw
cadDoc.Regen (acActiveViewport);

//Show message
Console.Debug ("An arc was drawn!");
}

Transformations

javascript
// Rotate the object around the Z axis
var basePoint = [0, 0, 0];
var rotationAngle = 45; // degrees
object.Rotate(basePoint, rotationAngle);

// Move the object
var fromPoint = [0, 0, 0];
var toPoint = [10, 10, 10];
object.Move(fromPoint, toPoint);
