how to get screen position of user click ?

Hello @Bhavik Sheth ,

have you tried to work with a "Tag"?

*tagcreate nodes $nodeId $label $body $colorId

or

*createentity tag type=nodes entity=$nodeId label=$label body=$body color=$colorId

You can attach the Tag directly to a node/element etc.

Hello @Andreas Altmann,

I didn't check the option that you mentioned.

I will check.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Hello,

I tried to create a tag but it was creating a tag exact at the selected node.

I want to have it with a pointed arrow at some distance from the selected node as shown in below image. 

Text in white box is created with title and text in blue is created with tag.

Can we specify location on the screen while creating a tag?

Hello @Bhavik Sheth ,

I would do it this way:

The user selects one node (Node1), where the Tag should be connected.
Copy this Node1 (=> Node2) and move the Node2 automatically xx mm in x,y,z direction
Create a tag at Node2
Then the user can move the tag with the move tool at the positon
Connect Node1 and Node2 with a line

The problem is, that the line gets not updated, when Node2 is moved again. To catch this you can add Metadata to the line (or tag) and store the information what should be connected. But then you need a script that updates the lines...

It's not a very comfortable way but the only way I know

EDIT: you can also connect Node1 and Node2 with a bar/rod element, then the position gets updated automatically, when you change the position of Node2
