Fire Events When Dragging Instant3D Manipulator in an Assembly Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to fire events when dragging an Instant3D manipulator in an assembly document.

'------------------------------------

' Preconditions:

' 1. Open an assembly document.

' 2. Open the Immediate window.

' 3. Run this macro (press F5).

'    NOTE: Instant3D is enabled by the macro.

'

' Postconditions:

'  1. Select an Instant3D manipulator in the

'     open assembly by right-clicking a floating

'     assembly component, clicking the down arrows

'     at the bottom of the shortcut menu, and selecting

'     "Move with Triad". Drag the Instant3D handle

'     to move the assembly component. A debug statement is

'     written to the Immediate window informing you that

'     dragging of an Instant3D manipulator has started.

'  2. Stop dragging the manipulator.

'     A debug statement is written to the Immediate

'     window informing you that dragging of

'     an Instant3D manipulator has stopped.
