Rotate Assembly Component on Axis Using IDragOperator::DragAsUI Example (C#)

This example shows how to rotate an assembly component about an assembly axis using IDragOperator::DragAsUI.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Assembly document is open.
// 2. Component in the assembly document is selected.
//
// Postconditions: Transform matrix is set.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    {

        
const double PI = 3.14159;
        
const double RadPerDeg = PI / 180.0;

        
//   DragOperator::TransformType
        //       Translation     0
        //       Transform is translation-only.
        //
        //       Axial rotation  1
        //       Transform is rotation-only.
        //
        //       General         2
        //       Transform can be translation, rotation, or both.
        //
        //   DragOperator::DragMode
        //       Minimum Move    0
        //       Move smallest number of geometries.
        //
        //       Maximum Move    1
        //       Move geometries rigidly if possible.
        //
        //       Relaxation      2
        //       Solve geometries using relaxation.
