What functions in the MENU.def file correspond to the following icons?
The first is M_TOOLS_RULER and the rest?


Thanks

The other 3 are features from MapCAD so they aren't referenced in the menu.def

Hi

Several of the MapCAD functions can be called via the Exec() function through MapBasic.

Ok we have this function, but how can I make the points dynamic. That is, the user points them out

'Creates a new circle object.
Dim NewObj as object
NewObj = Exec("MapCAD.mbx","CircleFromPointsXY", 
               434204.02,5566829.13,434219.39 ,5566833.997,434218.18,5566852.19)
Insert into [Table] (obj) values (NewObj)

'Updates objects with calculated circles from coordinate columns (X1 ...Y3).
Update [Table] set obj=Exec("MapCAD.mbx","CircleFromPointsXY", X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3)

Hi Mayca

There may be a few ways to pick up these coordinates from the map.

1. You can create a toolbutton with a Point drawmode and every time the user has clicked three times, you can create a circle using the last three points.
2. You can create a toolbutton with a Polyline drawmode and ask the user to create a polyline with 3 points. When the user ends the polyline, extract three nodes from the polyline and build a circle using these.

The polyline method could be tricky as the user could, by accident, click more than three times. I would use the first three points from the polyline or the first two and the last.

Are you recreating the tool to ensure the circle is created in the right layer?

I hope this helps

Okay. It has worked.Now my doubt arises to save it in the database. I have a database in ORACLE. In the MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG table in the SPATIAL field I have defined 13.3.When I hit save it gives me the following error.How can I define the table so that it allows me to save that geometry?

Oracle doesn't support these "cosmetic" object types like ellipse, rectangle, and similar.

You will have to convert these to polygons/regions and/or polylines.

You can do this using the ConvetToRegion() and ConvertToPline() functions in MapBasic.

These are custom tools from MapCAD. According to this website, these are the tools in MapCAD that can be executed from MapBasic via the EXEC command:

• CreateParallel
• CalcAngle
• CalcDirection
• CartesianDirection / SphericalDirection
• ReverseLineDirection
• SplitToLines
• ConvertToLine
• LineIntersectionPoint
• CreateSpline
• CreateScaledObject
• MirrorHorizontal
• MirrorVertical
• FitObjects
• RotateText
• CircleFromPointsXY (build 34)
• ArcFromPointsXY (build 34)

I'd think LineIntersectionPoint is used for Interseccion de arcos. I don't see the other tools listed.

You can also find more documentation on the website mentioned above.

Are you trying to recreate those tools? Why not just use the existing tools?

In the MapCAD library in the Local AppData folder, you can find the file MapCADResources.xml.

It contains details about the tools in MapCAD. The dimension tools are described like this:

<Control Name="CreateMenuGroup" Caption="" Index="0" Type="DropDownMenuGroup" Enabled="true" Visible="true" Application="MapCAD">	<Controls>		<Control Name="DimensionButton2" Caption="Ruler" Index="0" Calling="1710" Type="Button" Enabled="false" Visible="true" IsLarge="true" ModifierKeys="true" SmallIconName="images/mapping/measure_16x16.png" LargeIconName="images/mapping/measure_32x32.png" IconDLL="MapInfo.StyleResources" ToolTipText="Displays the distance between two map points."

ToolTipDescription="Intersecting Arcs" HelpId="1013" Requires="FrontMap" Application="MapCAD" />	</Controls></Control>

I have however never tried to create a button that calls the functionality in another tool so I'm unsure if this will work.

The thing is that we want to unify the dimension tools within a custom tab, along with other functions.

These are custom tools from MapCAD. According to this website, these are the tools in MapCAD that can be executed from MapBasic via the EXEC command:

• CreateParallel
• CalcAngle
• CalcDirection
• CartesianDirection / SphericalDirection
• ReverseLineDirection
• SplitToLines
• ConvertToLine
• LineIntersectionPoint
• CreateSpline
• CreateScaledObject
• MirrorHorizontal
• MirrorVertical
• FitObjects
• RotateText
• CircleFromPointsXY (build 34)
• ArcFromPointsXY (build 34)

I'd think LineIntersectionPoint is used for Interseccion de arcos. I don't see the other tools listed.

You can also find more documentation on the website mentioned above.

Are you trying to recreate those tools? Why not just use the existing tools?

Hi

Several of the MapCAD functions can be called via the Exec() function through MapBasic.

The other 3 are features from MapCAD so they aren't referenced in the menu.def

Hey

Something along these lines but I haven't tested it.

In fact, I'm not sure you can call a procedure in another running MBX in this simple way.

Dim reglaBtn  as ThisreglaBtn = MICtrlCollAddStrStrInt(EielControlExplorar, "Arastrar", "Regla", ControlType_ToolButton) 'ControlTypes are defined in Enums.defCall SetRbnToolBtnCtrlCallingHandler(reglaBtn, "DimensionLine")Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlIsLarge (reglaBtn, TRUE)Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlDrawMode(reglaBtn, 33)Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlCursorId(reglaBtn, 306)Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlLargeIcon(reglaBtn, New_Uri("pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Layout/ruler_32x32.png", 0)) 

Dim reglaBtn  as ThisreglaBtn = MICtrlCollAddStrStrInt(EielControlExplorar, "Arastrar", "Regla", ControlType_ToolButton) 'ControlTypes are defined in Enums.defCall SetRbnToolBtnCtrlCmdId(reglaBtn, M_TOOLS_RULER)Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlIsLarge (reglaBtn, TRUE)Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlLargeIcon(reglaBtn, New_Uri("pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Layout/ruler_32x32.png", 0))
