Summary

Support Object Snap Tracking

Solution

In version 11.4.3 we added OsnapTrack ability to the VectorDraw Developers Framework.

When OsnapTrack is true and the osnapMode contains one or more of the following osnaps vdConst.OsnapMode_END , vdConst.OsnapMode_MID , vdConst.OsnapMode_INS , vdConst.OsnapMode_NODE , vdConst.OsnapMode_QUA and a user waiting point action is active then :
--When the cursor is over the osnap it is added to a temporary osnap track llist and the osnap is marked by a cross
--When a cursor is moved check its position angle relative to osnap marked positsion and if it is multiples to the PolarTrackAngle property the cursor is locked to that angle and an infinitive dotted line is displayed
--Note if the user moves the cursor over a marked osnap again then the osnap is un-marked and removed from the temporary track list

We added some options to the Osnap Dialog so the user can easily enable and disable this feature.
