Unable to get the SnapToObject Settings to take effect SOLVED

[RMan]

We've been trying to modify the Snap to Object settings but it appears that the Editor doesn't actually use the new settings. Do we need to fire an event or something after changing the flags? If we do need to fire an event how do we do that since it appears that the Event.ID is read-only?

I was testing this in VB6

Call PDFEditor.Inst.Settings.SetInt("Measurement.Snapping.Objects.Flags", lFlags)

I can open the Preferences dialog and it displays the proper settings but again the Editor still uses the original values for the which objects it snaps to. I even tried toggling the commands on and off both ways. The only way it will start using the new settings is if I open the Preferences Dialog then the Measurements->Customize and check and uncheck one of the object settings and apply it.

'Toggle Object Snapping on and off
Call PDFEditor.Inst.ExecUICmd("cmd.view.snap")
Call PDFEditor.Inst.ExecUICmd("cmd.view.snap")

'Toggle Object Snapping on and off
Call PDFEditor.Inst.ExecUICmd("cmd.view.snaptoObjects")
Call PDFEditor.Inst.ExecUICmd("cmd.view.snaptoObjects")

'Use settings to toggle on and off
Call PDFEditor.Inst.Settings.SetBool("Measurement.Snapping.Use", False)
Call PDFEditor.Inst.Settings.SetBool("Measurement.Snapping.Use", True)

Call PDFEditor.Inst.Settings.SetBool("Measurement.Snapping.Objects.Use", False)
Call PDFEditor.Inst.Settings.SetBool("Measurement.Snapping.Objects.Use", True)

Hello RMan,

Please try firing this event after the settings change:

Code: Select all

pdfCtl.Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PDFXEdit.PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Measurement);

Cheers,
Alex
