StandardTool.CompassPoleLongLat Property
Gets or sets an anchor point used when objects are moved on earth, controlling the rotation of the objects.
Syntax
public Point CompassPoleLongLat { get; set; }Property Value
Remarks
A sighting point (or anchor point), expressed in longitude and latitude, that defines what "no rotation" means when the user moves an object with the mouse. It is only used when the MoveMode property is set to OnEarth.
See the Feature.MoveOnEarthAsCompass for more information.
By default, CompassPoleLongLat is the geographic north pole. Then, a moved object will keep the same side facing north, just as a (perfect) compass. In many applications, this behavior can be accepted as a non-rotating movement. However, in an Arctic or Antarctic application, it can be quite annoying if a moved object keeps turning around to face the north pole: it would appear as a rotating movement. A better choice would then be to use an anchor point on the equator.
If attached to a 3D view, the StandardTool does nothing; use a StandardTool3D instead.
