Layout2DFactory (Object)

Methods

Func Create2DLayout( iStandardName) As

Create the 2DLayout associated to the 3D mechanical feature tha implement this interface. E.g. a Mechanical Part.

Parameters:

CATBSTR

iStandardName The standard name to apply to the new layout.

oLayout

The created 2DLayout. This feature is unique for a given 3D context feature. Consequently requesting this interface on a 3D feature that is already associated to a 2DLayout feature will fail. You must first request for any existing 2DLayout via method using CATLayoutRoot key parameter to check for 2DLayout pre-existing feature as follow :

 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayoutRoot")
 if MyRoot Is Nothing then
   Dim MyRootFact As Layout2DFactory
   Set MyRootFact = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayoutRootFactory")
   Set MyRoot = MyRootFact.Create2DLayout("ISO_3D")
 end if
