I am going to write a standalone code in VB.net that can measure the angle between two faces in a CAD model opened in solidworks. But i am not allowed to use solidworks API or SDK add-in.

I want to be able to have a line drawn from point a to b, but be able to rate it 90 degress based on user input so if the user inputs 70 I want it to rotate 30 degree's to simulate a 70 deg relationship to a horizontal line that it touches if that makes any sense. a is starting point b is the user inputs 70 and it draws it at 70 in relationship to the horizontal lineheres the image that i forgot to post above Attached image(s)

View 2 RepliesI am trying to write a program using the API for SolidWorks in .NET. My first problem is setting 'set swApp = Application.sldworks', the last line of code.It is my understanding that this is simply defined as an installed application on my system (which it is), and does not even use the SolidWorks API to accomplish. Though this syntax is used in many VB6 options, i am getting a syntax error.I have tried it without the 'Set' in front, no help there.

I need to display a table in rich text within a form window. It is only a two column table, so tabbing works fine to line everything up (since RichTextBox does not support RTF tables). However, sometimes the tab stops are incorrect because of non-fixed width fonts.
So, I need a way to measure the pixel width of a particular string with a particular font (Arial 10) and space or tab pad to make sure that everything aligns.
I know about the Graphics.MeaureString method, but since this is in a rich text box, I don't have an initilzed PaintEventArgs variable, and that would seem like overkill to create JUST to measure one string.
From MSDN:
Private Sub MeasureStringMin(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
' Set up string.
Dim measureString As String = "Measure String"
[Code].....
So is the best bet just to create a dummy PaintEventArgs instance? If so, what is the best way to do that (since I'll have to call this string measuring method several hundred times)?

View 5 RepliesI have a VB Function (in Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5) that opens up a connection to an Oracle database and queries the database for information. Apparently after some trial and error, I discovered when the SQL statement is being processed and filling the dataset, it apparently is taking up too much memory trying to complete the task. I'm running into System.OutofMemory exceptions and other unpleasantness.I'm wondering, is there some sort of program out there to measure memory consumption of your SQL code that is being processed in a Visual Studio application?

This is represented by the gray lines.

View 2 Repliesi am trying to get the angle of a line in relation to the x axis. The line is being drawn in a picturebox. So its the Upper right quadrant of the cartesian plane ... but its flipped over the x axis.im using this code
a=pt(1).x
b=pt(1).y
c=pt(2).x
d=pt(2).y
z=math.atan2((c-a),(d-b))*(180/math.pi)
The issue is that the line im drawing is almost parallel to the x axis but its returning a value of roughly 90 degrees .It seems like it is giving me the angle in relation to the y axis, but not being super good at the math myself im not exactly sure what to change here.
I have a form i have made to calculate angles, well, I have now added a check box to reverse the angle and have got it to reverse with no problems. The problem I have is, when I uncheck the checkbox, The line doesnt revert back to normal posistion.Here is the code if someone could point me in the right direction cause I am lost now.

Ok. So I have a program I have made to calculate angles. i have a line for true vertical and I need the program to draw the line at a given angle. Basically, if I put 82 in textbox1, I want the program to calculate the cordinates where that line sits on the X axis, The y axis is always picturebox1.height, So the y axis isn't important here, just the x axis.
What would I do to calculate this angle into a visual graphic?

View 2 RepliesI Have created a program (see below) that enables you to use you cam. You then draw a line and calculate the angle. The purpose is that I do alot of work with remote control cars and need to acuratley set toe and camber angles, it takes to long with the "old" method So I am creating this little program. ok, so, lets see what I want to do. Well, the first thing I would like to do is draw a line from top to bottom of my picture box dead center of left to right, this is dead center of the cam so the bottom of your item should be posistioned to meet the bottom of the centre line. I then draw a line from bottom to top of the objects angle. I then use the dead center line and the line I drew to calculate the angle.

I need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.
Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.
Here's the original code that works fine on a form:
Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False
