Inquire about a setting of a draw 3D measurement context.

Syntax

AIL_INT64 M3dmeasInquireDraw(
AIL_ID DrawContext3dmeasId, //in
AIL_INT64 Operation, //in
AIL_INT64 InquireType, //in
void * UserVarPtr //out
)

Description

This function inquires about a specified setting of a draw 3D measurement context. These settings establish which 3D measurement results to draw into the 3D graphics list when calling M3dmeasDraw3d and how to draw them.

You can control the draw 3D measurement context settings using M3dmeasControlDraw.

Parameters

DrawContext3dmeasId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the draw 3D measurement context to inquire. The draw 3D measurement context must have been previously allocated on the required system using M3dmeasAlloc with M_DRAW_3D_PROFILE_CONTEXT, M_DRAW_3D_PATH_CONTEXT, or M_DRAW_3D_TEMPLATE_CONTEXT.

Operation (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies the draw operation about which to inquire.

InquireType (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies the type of setting about which to inquire.

UserVarPtr *(out, void)

Specifies the address in which to write the requested information. Since the M3dmeasInquireDraw function also returns the requested information, you can set this parameter to M_NULL.
