Interface to manage the 2D Layout root.

Properties


Property ActiveSheet() As
Retrieves or sets the active sheet of the layout.
Example:
This example retrieves the active sheet currently managed by the layout root of a part of the active document, supposed to be a part document. 
 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayout2DRoot)"
 Dim MySheet = MyRoot.GetActiveSheet
Property Parameters() As (Read Only)
Returns the collection of parameters of the layout.
Example: 
 This example retrieves in layoutParameters the collection of
 parameters currently managed by the layout root of a part of the active document, 
 supposed to be a part document.
 
 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayout2DRoot)"
 Dim layoutParameters As Parameters
 Set layoutParameters = MyRoot.Parameters
Property Relations() As (Read Only)
Returns the collection of relations of the part document.
Example: 
 This example retrieves in layoutRelations the collection of
 relations currently managed by the layout root of a part of the active document, 
 supposed to be a part document.
 
 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayout2DRoot)"
 Dim layoutRelations As Relations
 Set layoutRelations = MyRoot.Relations
Property RenderingMode() As
Set/Get the rendering mode of Layout2D. get_RenderingMode method can fail if rendering value stored on Layout is not a value defined in CatRenderingMode enum.
Example:
This example sets the rendering mode to catRenderShadingWithEdges for the layout root of a part of the active document. 
 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayout2DRoot)"
 MyRoot. RenderingMode  = catRenderShadingWithEdges
Property Sheets() As (Read Only)
Returns the collection of Layout2D sheets of the part document.
Example:
This example retrieves in SheetCollection the collection of sheets currently managed by the layout root of a part of the active document, supposed to be a part document. 
 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayout2DRoot)"
 Dim SheetCollection As Layout2DSheets
 Set SheetCollection = MyRoot.Sheets.
Property Standard() As
Returns or sets the DrawingStandard of the part document.
Example:
This example sets the drawing standard currently managed by the layout root of a part of the active document, supposed to be a part document, to ISO. 
 Dim MyRoot As Layout2DRoot
 Set MyRoot = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayout2DRoot)"
 MyRoot.Standard = catISO
Property VisuIn3D() As
Set/Get the 3D visualization mode of the layout in the 3D Viewer ie in the 3D windows and in the background of each view in every 2D context.

Methods


Sub reorder_Sheets( iOrderedSheets)
Changes the positions of the sheets in this drawing according to the given ordered list. iOrderedSheets is the result of a permutation applied to the list of all the sheets of this drawing, with the following constraint: For every non-detail sheet, there is not any detail sheet appearing before in iOrderedSheets.
Example:
This example inverts the sheet order of a drawing made of exactly two regular sheets. 
 Set drwsheetsorder =  CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayoutRoot")
 Set drwsheets = drwsheetsorder.Sheets
 Set sheet1 = drwsheets.item(1)
 Set sheet2 = drwsheets.item(2)
 newsheetorder = Array(sheet2, sheet1)
 drwsheetsorder.reorder_Sheets(newsheetorder)
