Model.active_path uses global coordinates?
-
I want to manipulate the component definition for the component the user is currently editing (which is nested 2 layers deep). If I do this:
ci = model.active_path.last cd = ci.definitionI get a valid component definition of the type I am expecting, but if I examine the geometry in the cd, all of the locations returned are in the global coordinate system - I expected them to be in the local system: relative to the origin of the component I'm editing. This is strange. Can anyone explain what's going on here?

I think that as a component/group is opened for editing, all co-ordinates are made global.

the way I solve this problem is with entities.transform_entities(entities.to_a,model.edit_transform.inverse), which effectively reset the definition.
Then, when you are done editing, just do the same thing without the .inverse

That explains much.

And I'll have to transform them all back myself, I guess. Thanks, Thomas.
