"name" property in PXCp_AddLineAnnotationW?

[relapse]

Hi! I tried to find a possibility to set the name property for a line annotation, which I created with the function PXCp_AddLineAnnotationW but found nothing of the kind. Is it so?


Thanks for your replies!

Hi Relapse,

I've asked our Tools SDK specialists for help with this one and will post their reply here as soon as I get it!

Best,

Hi again Relapse,

Unfortunately the confirmation was that the only way to set the name for a line annotation when using the Tools SDK is through the Low Level API only.

So, I should directly create an annotation line with the Low Level API otherwise I couldn't find the annotation again that I'd created with the PXCp_AddLineAnnotationW method. Is that right? Could you eventually extend the PXCp_AddLineAnnotationW method so that one can also define the name property because it's the best way to identify an annotation?

Hi Relapse,

No major modifications would be done to the current Tools SDK, but once we release V3 of the Viewer we will start preparing our new SDK for release as well. When that is out there would be a method that will allow control over annotation names (at least using an analogue of the current Low-Level API, and maybe as a higher level function), but at this point we don't have any specific dates when this will be available.

Best,
Stefan
