Ed.DrawIng.acquire String() returns immediately

[gswifort]

The Ed.DrawJig.acquire String() method returns kNormal immediately. Should I call .setUserInputControls() first to avoid this? With what value?

[CEXT-Dan]

I never tested that, indeed you must call setUserInputControls, maybe kNullResponseAccepted or kAcceptOtherInputString

I don’t know the context, but if you’re looking for keywords, you would use Ed.Editor.initGet in combination with the jig

I just want to display the static geometry to the user and have it previewed until Esc is pressed - so I don't need .acquirePoint() or anything else (and it will be confusing). Is there another way to display something without adding it to modelspace?

[CEXT-Dan]

You can ignore the output of acquirePoint and draw the geometry at a fixed position or use Gi.TransientManager (testTransientManager.py)

this doesn't seem to work, it returns kCancel immediately:

PyRx/PySamples/PyEd/testPyJig.py

Lines 58 to 60 in d9fe300

	if jig.drag(style) != Ed.DragStatus.kNormal:
	print("oops")
	return

I'm guessing that the style overload is not available in ZRX, I have a note that's it not in BRX
