Description

Creates a custom object instance at the specified location and angle of rotation. For the objectName, use the "internal" plug-in name (the one assigned in the plug-in editor), as opposed to the filename (which can be different).

FUNCTION CreateCustomObject(
               objectName      :STRING;
               pX,pY           :REAL;
               rotationAngle   :REAL) : HANDLE;

def vs.CreateCustomObject(objectName, p, rotationAngle):
    return HANDLE

Parameters

objectName		STRING		Name of object.
p		REAL		Insertion point of object instance.
rotationAngle		REAL		Rotation angle (in degrees) of object instance.

Return Value

Returns a HANDLE to the new object.

Remarks

Like for objects created through CreateCustomObjectPath, they don't resolve as "new objects" after creation with this routine.
