IDrag Method (IDragOperator)

Sets the transform matrix for this drag operation.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IDrag( _
   ByVal PXform As MathTransform _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IDragOperator
Dim PXform As MathTransform
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.IDrag(PXform)
C# 
System.bool IDrag( 
   MathTransform PXform
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool IDrag( 
&   MathTransform^ PXform
) 

Parameters

PXform
Pointer to an IMathTransform that specifies the desired motion for this step

Return Value

True if the move was successful, false if not (see Remarks)

Remarks

This method is more precise than the IDragOperator::DragAsUI method. IDragOperator::DragAsUI is more like an interactive drag operation performed in the SOLIDWORKS 2001Plus software and it may give better graphics performance than IDragOperator::Drag.

You will see an improvement in performance when this method is used in the default state. If collision detection or clearance is enabled, then the original mode is used. This method is more efficient than making multiple calls to IComponent2::SetTransformAndSolve because this method reuses the solver.

Use IDragOperator::UseAbsoluteTransforms to set the transforms type to absolute or relative.

If the desired orientation set by this method was not honored and remedial action occurred, then the IDragOperation::DragCorrected property is set.

This method returns false if the drag cannot be performed. This typically occurs because of a collision.
