Manipulators

You can create a manipulator to use in your part and assembly documents.

Typically to create a manipulator:

1. Create the handler interface, ISwManipulatorHandler2, which your add-in application must implement. Your add-in application:

• Governs the behavior of the manipulator using the ISwManipulatorHandler2 methods.

• Provides any temporary graphics associated with the manipulator.

• Applies transforms.

2. Create the IManipulator object using IModelViewManager::CreateManipulator.

3. Use the IManipulator methods and properties to:

• Remove, show, and control the visibility of the manipulator in part or assembly documents.

• Create a specific manipulator using IManipulator::GetSpecificManipulator.

4. Customize the size and appearance of the specific manipulator using the specific manipulator's methods and properties.
