HandlesOperator

class HPS.HandlesOperator : HPS.Operator

The HandlesOperator class defines an operator which allows the user to translate geometry in the view plane or along an axis. This operator works for both mouse- and touch-driven devices.

To use this operator on a mouse-driven device: <orderedlist><listitem>

Activate the operator

</listitem><listitem>

Double click on a piece of geometry to activate the handles

</listitem><listitem>

Click and drag the handles to transform the selected geometry

</listitem><listitem>

Click on the background to dismiss the handles

</listitem></orderedlist>

To use this operator on a touch-driven device: <orderedlist><listitem>

Activate the operator

</listitem><listitem>

Double tap on a piece of geometry to activate the handles

</listitem><listitem>

Tap and drag the handles to move the selected geometry

</listitem><listitem>

Tap on the background to dismiss the handles

</listitem></orderedlist>

This operator works on the segment containing the geometry selected. An event of type GeometryTransformedEvent is dispatched after the handles are dismissed, containing the information on which segment was affected and what transform was applied to it.

This operator does not work on Exchange models which have a Drawing structure. This includes CATDrawing models and 2D DWG models loaded through Exchange. Any attempt to use this operator on such a model will produce a warning.
