You can actually run this script (from xsisupport) to get a full list of application commands. Will be much easier than searching inside dlls.

cmds = Application.Commands
l = []
for c in cmds:
    l.append( c.Name )
 
LogMessage(l)

• Activate Add-Point Tool from a script ( or known methods to start a tool) - 2 Updates

Activate Add-Point Tool from a script ( or known methods to start a tool)

Marco Wehe <marco...@gmail.com>: Nov 05 04:19AM -0700 Hi,   I haven't got xsi on me right now to test this. But usually this error means that you aren't supplying the right arguments. Most functions (tools) require some input. i.e. Tool(object) - you have to make sure you give it the object, this might be the current selection or a name.   In your case it needs valid curve object.   `SIAddPointOnCurve( InputObj, [InsertPosition], [X], [Y], [Z], [Local], [CurveType] );` http://docs.autodesk.com/SI/2015/ENU/Softimage-Developer-Help/#!/url=./si_cmds/SIAddPointOnCurve.html   See the example in the SDK guide.   Hope that helps, Marco

"Сергей Прохорович" <serjp...@gmail.com>: Nov 05 04:31AM -0700 No, its a different command. `SIAddPointOnCurve adds points as a result of execution, while result of execution of AddPointOnCurveTool() should be an activated 'Add-Point' tool in viewport. Anyway, I used content search inside dll files inside softimage folders looking for "AddPoint", "PointOnCurve" etc strings and found the correct name for the command. So there are three commands instead: AddPointOnCurveToolByCVs, AddPointOnCurveToolByKnotPoints, AddPointOnCurveToolByBezierKnotPoints which is kinda logical, since in UI also three commands available. And I tried some name combos before but turned out I was adding 'ByCVs' in wrong place ( AddPointOnCurveByKnotsTool ) heh. From now on searching inside dlls would be my last resort trick :)
