MecModInterfaces.Boundary

Edge

1-D boundary.

Role: This Boundary object may be, for example, the edge of a

cylinder.

You will create an Edge object using the Shapes.GetBoundary ,

HybridShapes.GetBoundary , Sketches.GetBoundary or Selection.SelectElement2

method. Then, you pass it to the operator (such as

HybridShapeFactory.AddNewPointTangent ).

The lifetime of an Edge object is limited, see Boundary.

Example:

This example asks the end user to select a planar curve, whose plane is

parallel to the XY plane. Then, it creates a point on the tangent to the curve

in the X direction:

Dim InputObjectType(0)

Set Document = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Set Selection = Document.Selection

Set HybridBodies = Document.Part.HybridBodies

Set HybridBody = HybridBodies.Item(“Geometrical Set.1”)

‘We propose to the user that he select a planar curve whose plane is

parallel to the XY plane

InputObjectType(0)=”Edge”

Status=Selection.SelectElement2(InputObjectType,”Select a planar curve

whose plane is parallel to the XY plane”,true)

if (Status = “cancel”) then Exit Sub

Set PlanarCurve = Selection.Item(1).Value

Set HybridShapeDirection = HybridShapeFactory.AddNewDirectionByCoord(1.0,0.0,0.0)

Set HybridShapePointTangent = HybridShapeFactory.

AddNewPointTangent(PlanarCurve,HybridShapeDirection)

HybridBody.AppendHybridShape HybridShapePointTangent

Document.Part.InWorkObject = HybridShapePointTangent
