o Sub GetChoiceNo(long val1,

long val2,

long val3,

long val4,

long val5)

Returns a sequence which identifies a solution among all

possibilities.

val1 = Solution number (from 1 to n).

val2 = oOriTgt1

This orientation allows to compute just the results that are tangent to a

specific region of the first curve.

It can take 3 values:

+1 : the result has the same orientation as the curve,

-1 : the result has the opposite orientation of the curve,

0 : no orientation is specified.

val3 = oOriCvt1

This orientation allows to compute just the results that are tangent to a

specific side of the first curve.

It can take 3 values:

+1 : curvature direction of curve and cross product of support normal and result direction

are in the same direction,

-1 : curvature direction of curve and cross product of support normal and result direction

are in opposite directions,

0 : no orientation is specified.

val4 = oOriTgt2

In case of curve/curve bitangent line, this orientation allows to compute

just the results that are tangent to a specific region of the second curve

.

It can take 3 values:

+1 : the result has the same orientation as the curve,

-1 : the result has the opposite orientation of the curve,

0 : no orientation is specified.

val5 = oOriCvt2

In case of curve/curve bitangent line this orientation allows to compute

just the results that are tangent to a specific side of the second

curve.

It can take 3 values:

+1 : curvature direction of curve and cross product of support normal and result direction

are in the same direction,

-1 : curvature direction of curve and cross product of support normal and result direction

are in opposite directions,

0 : no orientation is specified.

This example retrieves in vakl1,val2,val3,val4,val5 parameters for

solutions for the LineBiTangent hybrid shape feature.
