In the recent 7.2 updates, the IGeometricObject_DG.Rotate1 function is now throwing a "missing arguments" error. Yet, the VB6 object browser for ActiveX build 5555 shows the argument definition I've been using. (Also, I see in the most recent online documentation, that Rotate1 is no longer shown, but curiously there are four Rotate function with different arguments.) The function to clone an object and rotate the clone around the X axis is:

Code: Select all

Private Sub CloneComponent(ByVal strComponentName As String, ByVal intBladeNumber As Integer, ByVal dblRotateRads As Double)
    Dim MyComponentEntity As IEntity_DG
    Dim MyTransform As IGeometricObject_DG

    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    
    ' clone component
    Set MyComponentEntity = MyModel3D.GetEntity(strComponentName).Clone
    If (MyComponentEntity Is Nothing) Then
        Debug.Assert False
    Else
        Call MyComponentEntity.SetName(strComponentName & Format$(intBladeNumber))
        ' rotate
        Set MyTransform = MyComponentEntity
        Call MyTransform.Rotate1(dblRotateRads, 1, 0, 0)      ' rotate on X axis - **** ERROR THIS LINE
        ' add to main model
        Call MyModel3D.AddEntity(MyComponentEntity)
    End If

    Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
    Select Case ShowCriticalErrorHandler("cloning component")
        Case idReturnRetry
            Resume
        Case idReturnIgnore
            Resume Next
    End Select
End Sub

Thanks!

Sorry, 5555 should be considered a bad build. We have removed four methods from IGeometricObject_DG which are duplication of IObject_DG and have issues. It was not a good idea. We will revert the change tomorrow the latest.

Thank you for reporting this.

BTW, we do not keep updates on the web to keep the costs down. I recommend storing few good downloads you use with the update number. Sometimes bad releases happen, so you could use it to revert.

Suggestion noted. I think all are happy to do our own archiving, so it might be worth putting a note on the website downloads page. Thanks!

The fix is up in today's 5558 update.

Thanks for the good suggestion.
