One can use the following code :

graphics = ExtAPI.Graphics
p1 = graphics.CreateWorldPoint(point1.X, point1.Y, point1.Z)  
p2 = graphics.CreateWorldPoint(point2.X, point2.Y, point2.Z)  
line = graphics.Scene.Factory3D.CreatePolyline([p1,p2])

You can add some info to make the line visible:

line.LineWeight = 4

line.Color = 0x00FFFF

Just to complete :

draw_cmd = ExtAPI.Graphics
p1 = draw_cmd.CreateWorldPoint(0,0,0)
p2 = draw_cmd.CreateWorldPoint(1000,0,0)
graphics = ExtAPI.Graphics
line = graphics.Scene.Factory3D.CreatePolyline([p1,p2])
line.LineWeight = 4
line.Color = 0x00FFFF

Hello,

I've tried to used this code to draw a line with both points not in the origing.
Script is executed but nothing happens.

I've also tried to create the line and move the coordinate after. But line is created and than it disappears.

Any idea how to draw a line between two points where position can be defined?
