HybridShapeAffinity (Object)

Represents the hybrid shape affinity feature object.
Role: To access the data of the hybrid shape affinity feature object. This data includes:

The reference coordinate system is always a direct one.

LICENSING INFORMATION: Creation of volume result requires GSO License
if GSO License is not granted , settting of Volume context has not effect

Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapeAffinity object.

Properties


Property AxisFirstDirection() As
Returns or sets the first direction of the reference coordinate system.
Sub-element(s) supported (see object): , or .
Example:
This example retrieves in FirstDir the first direction of the reference coordinate system used by the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim FirstDir As Reference 
 Set FirstDir = Affinity.AxisFirstDirection
Property AxisOrigin() As
Returns or sets the origin of the reference coordinate system.
Sub-element(s) supported (see object): .
Example:
This example retrieves in Origin the origin of the reference coordinate system used by the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim Origin As Reference 
 Set Origin = Affinity.AxisOrigin
Property AxisPlane() As
Returns or sets the reference plane of the reference coordinate system.
Sub-element(s) supported (see object): .
Example:
This example retrieves in RefPlane the reference plane of the reference coordinate system used by the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim RefPlane As Reference 
 Set RefPlane = Affinity.AxisPlane
Property CreationMode() As
Returns or sets the creation mode(creation or modification).
Legal values: True if the result is a creation feature and False if the result is a modification feature.
Example: 
 This example sets that the mode of
 the hybShpAffinity hybrid shape affinity to creation
 
 hybShpAffinity.CreationMode = True
Property ElemToTransform() As
Returns or sets the element to transform using the affinity.
Example:
This example retrieves in ElementToTransform the element to transform for the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim ElementToTransform As Reference 
 Set ElementToTransform = Affinity.ElemToTransform
Property VolumeResult() As
Returns or sets the volume result.
Legal values: True if the result of affinity is required as volume (option is effective only in case of volumes,requires GSO License) and False if it is needed as surface .
Example: 
 This example sets that the result of
 the hybShpAffinity hybrid shape affinity is volume.
 
 hybShpAffinity.VolumeResult = True
Property XRatios() As (Read Only)
Returns the affinity ratio along the X Direction of the reference coordinate system.
Example:
This example retrieves in X the ratio of the affinity along the X Direction of the reference coordinate system used by the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim X As RealParam 
 Set X = Affinity.XRatios
Property YRatios() As (Read Only)
Returns the affinity ratio along the Y Direction of the reference coordinate system.
Example:
This example retrieves in Y the ratio of the affinity along the Y Direction of the reference coordinate system used by the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim Y As RealParam 
 Set Y = Affinity.YRatios
Property ZRatios() As (Read Only)
Returns the affinity ratio along the Z Direction of the reference coordinate system.
Example:
This example retrieves in Z the ratio of the affinity along the Z Direction of the reference coordinate system used by the Affinity hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim Z As RealParam 
 Set Z = Affinity.ZRatios
