Methods


Sub Activate()
Activates the Layout2D sheet. Activating a Layout2D sheet means that this Layout2D sheet is the one on which the end user is now working. The window in the application's window collection which contains this Layout2D sheet becomes the active one.
Example:
This example activates the MySheet layout2dsheet. 
 MySheet.Activate
Func IsDetail() As
Checks whether the sheet is a detail sheet.
TRUE if the sheet is a detail sheet.
Example:
This example checks whether MySheet is a detail sheet. 
 IsDetail = MySheet.IsDetail
Sub PrintOut( iRenderingMode)
Prints the Layout2D sheet according to its page setup on the default printer.
Parameters:
iRenderingMode
The rendering mode to use for the backgrounds of the views in the sheet.
Example:
This example prints the Layout2DSheet1 on the default printer. 
 Layout2DSheet1.PrintOut catRenderShadingWithEdges
Sub PrintOut2()
Prints the Layout2D sheet according to its page setup on the default printer. If a rendering mode has been stored on the 2D Layout, it is used during print process for the backgrounds. Otherwise, "Shading with edges" rendering mode is used.
Example:
This example prints the Layout2DSheet1 on the default printer. 
 Layout2DSheet1.PrintOut2
Sub PrintToFile( fileName, iRenderingMode)
Prints the Layout2D sheet according its page setup in a file instead of being sent to a printer.
Parameters:
fileName
The full pathname of the file receiving the data.
iRenderingMode
The rendering mode to use for the backgrounds of the views in the sheet.
Example:
This example prints the Layout2DSheet1 in a file. 
 Layout2DSheet1.PrintToFile "e:\temp\sheet1.prn",catRenderShadingWithEdges
Sub PrintToFile2( fileName)
Prints the Layout2D sheet according its page setup in a file instead of being sent to a printer. If a rendering mode has been stored on the 2D Layout, it is used during print process for the backgrounds. Otherwise, "Shading with edges" rendering mode is used.
Parameters:
fileName
The full pathname of the file receiving the data.
Example:
This example prints the Layout2DSheet1 in a file. 
 Layout2DSheet1.PrintToFile2 "e:\temp\sheet1.prn"
Sub reorder_Views( iOrderedViews)
Changes the positions of the views in this sheet according to the given ordered list. iOrderedViews is the result of a permutation applied to the list of all the views of this sheet with the following constraint: the two first elements of the list must be respectively the sheet's mainview and background view.
Example:
This example modifies the views order of a sheet made of a mainview, a backgroundview and two user-created views. (user-created views are inverted). 
 Set drw =  CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.GetItem("CATLayoutRoot")
 Set drwviewsorder = drwsheetsorder.Sheets.ActiveSheet
 Set drwviews = drwviewsorder.Views
 Set mainview = drwviews.item(1)
 Set backview = drwviews.item(2)
 Set view1 = drwviews.item(3)
 Set view2 = drwviews.item(4)
 newvieworder = Array(mainview, backview, view2, view1)
 drwviewsorder.reorder_Views(newvieworder)
