HybridShapeRotate (Object)

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

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 HybridShapeFeature object.

Properties


Property Angle() As (Read Only)
Returns the rotation angle.
Property AngleValue() As
Returns or sets the rotation angle value.
Example: This example retrieves in AngleValue the angle value for the Rotate hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim AngleValue As double
 Set AngleValue = Rotate.AngleValue
Property Axis() As
Returns or sets the rotation axis.
Sub-element(s) supported (see object): .
Example: This example retrieves in RotationAxis the rotation axis for the Rotate hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim RotationAxis As Reference
 Set RotationAxis = Rotate.Axis
Property ElemToRotate() As
Retuns or sets the element to be rotated.
Example: This example retrieves in Elem the element to be rotated for the Rotate hybrid shape feature. 
 Dim Elem As Reference
 Set Elem = Rotate.ElemToRotate
Property FirstElement() As
Returns or sets the first element defining the rotation angle.
Property FirstPoint() As
Returns or sets the first point defining the rotation.
Property OrientationOfFirstElement() As
Returns or sets the orientation of the first element defining the rotation angle.
This applies in case of line or plane element.
Property OrientationOfSecondElement() As
Returns or sets the orientation of the second element defining the rotation angle.
This applies in case of line or plane element.
Property RotationType() As
Returns or sets the type of the rotation definition.
  • 0= Axis + angle
  • 1= Axis + two elements
  • 2= Three Points
  • 3= Unknown type
Property SecondElement() As
Returns or sets the second element defining the rotation angle.
Property SecondPoint() As
Returns or sets the second point defining the rotation.
Property ThirdPoint() As
Returns or sets the third point defining the rotation.
Property VolumeResult() As
Returns or sets the volume result.
Legal values: True if the result of Rotate 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 hybShpRotate hybrid shape rotate is volume.
 
 hybShpRotate.VolumeResult = True

Methods


Func GetCreationMode() As
Gets the creation mode.
Legal values:
0
CATGSMTransfoModeUnset. Default behavior: creation mode by default for all features, modification mode for axis system
1
CATGSMTransfoModeCreation. Creation mode.
2
CATGSMTransfoModeModification. Modification mode.
Example:
This example retrieves in oCreation the creation mode for the hybShpRotate hybrid shape feature. 
 oCreation = hybShpRotate.GetCreationMode
Sub SetCreationMode( iCreation)
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 hybShpRotate hybrid shape rotate to creation
 
 hybShpRotate.SetCreationMode True
