Role: To access the data of the hybrid shape position transformation feature object. This data includes:
- The positioning mode
- The profile to be positioned
- The initila and target planes
Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapePositionTransfo object.

Properties
- Property InitialDirectionComputationMode() As
-
Gets or sets the computation mode of the X axis (or direction) of the initial axis system.
- Parameters:
-
- oDirCompMode
- computation mode = 0 : no X axis specified = 1 : the X axis is implicitly the tangent of the profile at the origin(the origin then HAS to be on the profile). = 2 : the X axis is specified by a direction by SetPositionDirection(1,UserInputDirection).
- Property Mode() As
-
Returns or sets the positioning mode.
Legal values:- CATGSMPositionMode_NoneOrPositioned
- No positioning
- CATGSMPositionMode_ExplicitSweep
- The explicit profile is to be moved from its initial plane to the first sweep plane
- CATGSMPositionMode_Develop
- === DO NOT USE IN THIS VERSION === planar wire is to be positioned in its initial plane; target origin corresponds to the zero-deformation point on the support surface (target axes are defined by the parameterization of the support surface)
- Property Profile() As
- Returns or sets the profile to be positioned.
