Cannot scope Named selections for a Path Construction Geometry
Hi guys.
An easy one for you. I am trying to scope a named selection to a path. I am using :
pth.Location = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectById(WeaverEdge_NS.ObjectId)
This changes the Scoping method to Namedselection but does not populate the Named selection field.
and the pth.location remains [] when I audit during debug.
I manually created the path and inspected the properties, Next I tried populating all the properties similarly to the one I created but no success. I feel like there is more involved when named selections are involved.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Hi @Kev, you need to create a selection manager object with geometric entities and then scope that to path.
- tempSel = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
- tempSel.Ids = WeaverEdge_NS.Ids
- path.PathType = PathScopingType.Edge
- path.Location = tempSel

Thanks @Ayush Kumar :) The method you are proposing uses geometry selection as the scoping method. I wanted to have the scoping method as named selection. I managed to find the issue. my code was picking up the wrong named selection object due to a typo and the wrong named selection item had the wrong object type in it (body as oppose to edge).
But all good now :)
Thanks for all the great work
