Subject: [Acis-alliance] vector :: ambiguous definition
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

From: "Nilesh Joshi" <[e-mail]>
> I have to use vector contains along with vectors in ACIS
> but, it gives me hundreds of errors when I use it.
> It keeps on referring to the ACIS files saying that they have ambiguous
> symbol 'vector'!

    1.  Do not use the using-directive 'using namespace std'.
        If you have that anywhere in your code, delete it.
        (Then you may need to add equivalent using-declarations.)

    2.  Do not use the using-declaration 'using std::vector'.
        It fatally conflicts with ACIS vector.

    Solution: Don't import the STL std::vector into the global namespace.
    Just leave it in the std namespace, and specify std:: whenevr you use
it.

    Better solution: Use typedefs.

    3.a)  For every type T you want to use with std::vector,
            write a few typedefs:

    typedef std::vector<int> int_V;
    typedef int_V::iterator int_VI;
    typedef int_V::const_iterator int_VCI;

    And so on. Then these typedefs are much easier to use than
    typing std::vector<> everywhere.

Subject: [Acis-alliance] How to obtain a pcurve?
Message-ID: <002a01c3a944$811da5e0$[e-mail]>

Dear ACIS-Alliance,

when I project a curve to a surface via the
api_project_curve_to_surface(...)   function, the returned curve has no
pcurve.
Does anybody know, how to compute resp. add the pcurve to the curve or
coedge?

Your help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Alex

Alex,

sg_add_pcurve_to_coedge(COEDGE*) does it.

Hi All,

I am a new to this ACIS & VC++ environment.  

I am using "bs3_surface" function in my code and want to display it. But I am finding it difficult. 

I am urgently required the help. I will appreciate your valuable help. If possible you could mail me some useful code that would enhance my knowledge.


Thanks,

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>


Dear Acis-alliance,
 i want to sweep a circular face in such a way that the resulting solid 
 body is spherical. This i want to do without doing rotaional sweep option 
available in ACIS. I was trying this with draft-law but i am not able to 
get. Please tell if anybody knows how it can be done.
Thanking you

 VC++.
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

If you are trying to display the surface using builtin ACIS rendering
commands, you might be failing because you aren't feeding it the right
entity types.  The ACIS topology entities (BODY, LUMP, SHELL, FACE, LOOP,
COEDGE, EDGE, VERTEX) are used to define solids.  Underlying FACE, we find
SURFACE, and under SURFACE we find surface, of which bs3_surface is a
subtype.  If you want to draw using builtin routines,
you need to build a FACE, maybe even a BODY containing a LUMP, containing a
SHELL, containing a FACE.  The face will have a SURFACE which has your
bs3_surface, and will require a LOOP, which consists of a ring of COEDGES,
each of which has an EDGE, and adjacent EDGES in the ring of coedges share
VERTEX entities.  THe EDGEs will have to have CURVEs, which correspond to
the edges of your bs3_surface, and the VERTEXs will have APOINTS, whose
coordinates are the same as the corners of your bs3_surface.
 
I leave it to you to find the functions to construct the topology.  There
are a number of such functions, and which are appropriate depends on what
you are doing.  I personally find that direct construction isn't a bad way
to go, but there are a lot of api functions that result in shorter code that
you might understand better.
 
A different approach is to find an api function that constructs the surface
you need within the context of a FACE or a BODY.  Again, it's yours to
search the documentation.

I have an STL file and I want to create an ACIS (SAT) file. Where can I

here's a website on the STL file format.

You'll  need to make faces out of every facet, and form them into a body.

Dimitris:

Attached is the simplest closed-volume STL file possible, a closed volume consisting of four sides.  I'm sure the list members would appreciate it if you would post an STL import routine when you are finished, I know I would.

Thanks,

Hi everybody

	I have a strange problem which I cannot resolve by myself. The idea is 
that I search some positions under the mouse cursor (endpoints, midpoints, 
nearest positions to an edge etc.). When I found the required position I 
display a tool tip (Endpoint, Midpoint, Nearest) and figure just like in 
AutoCAD (some small rectangles, triangles in yellow color etc). The figures 
are displayed with DL_point, DL_polyline). Below is a small code for 
displaying a point:

	set_point_size(8);
	api_gi_set_highlight_rgb(rgb_color(1,1,0));//Set the highlight color to 
yellow
	DL_point point(pos);//Create the point
	//point.highlight(ActualCDC(), TRUE);//Create the point with highlight
	point.execute(ActualCDC(), rgb_color(1,1,0), TRUE);//Or create it directly

Where
