Sweep

Represents the sweep shape.

It is the base object for ribs and slots.

property anchor_dir_reverse: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property AnchorDirReverse() As boolean

Returns the Sweep AnchorDirReverse flag (for Sweep Move Profile

only).

It returns TRUE if Anchor direction is reversed , FALSE if

not.

Returns:

oAnchorDirReverse The oAnchorDirReverse flag as a

boolean

Example:

Return type:

bool

property center_curve: Sketch

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property CenterCurve() As Sketch (Read Only)

Returns the sketch used as the sweep center curve. The sweep is built along

this sketch.

Example:

The following example returns in centerCurve the sketch used as center

curve by the firstSweep sweep object:

Set centerCurve = firstSweep.CenterCurve

Return type:

Sketch

property center_curve_element: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property CenterCurveElement() As Reference

Returns or sets the center curve .

To set the property, you can use the following Boundary object:

TriDimFeatEdge.

Return type:

Reference

property is_thin: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property IsThin() As boolean

Returns the Sweep thin flag.

It returns TRUE if the Sweep is a thin Sweep , FALSE if

not.

Returns:

oIsThin The thin flag as a boolean

Example:

The following example saves in thinFlag the thin flag of Sweep

firstSweep, and then sets it so that it will be now thin

:

Set thinFlag = firstSweep.IsThin

firstSweep.IsThin = TRUE

Return type:

bool

property merge_end: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property MergeEnd() As boolean

Returns the Sweep merge end flag (for thin Sweep only).

It returns TRUE if merge ends is required , FALSE if not.

Returns:

oIsMergeEnd The merge end flag as a boolean

Example:

The following example saves in MergeEndFlag the merge end flag of

Sweep firstSweep, and then sets it so that merge end will be required

:

Set MergeEndFlag = firstSweep.IsMergeEnd

firstSweep.IsMergeEnd = TRUE

Return type:

bool

property merge_mode: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property MergeMode() As CatMergeMode

Returns or sets the end mode .

Returns:

enum cat_merge_mode

Return type:

int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property MoveProfileToPath() As boolean

Returns the Sweep MoveProfileToPath flag (for Sweep Move Profile

only).

It returns TRUE if move profile is required , FALSE if

not.

Returns:

oIsMoveProfileToPath The MoveProfileToPath flag as a

boolean

Example:

Return type:

bool

property neutral_fiber: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property NeutralFiber() As boolean

Returns the Sweep neutral fiber flag (for thin Sweep

only).

It returns TRUE if the Sweep is a neutral fiber Sweep , FALSE if

not.

Returns:

oIsNeutralFiber The neutral fiber flag as a boolean

Example:

The following example saves in NeutralFiberFlag the neutral fiber

flag of Sweep firstSweep, and then sets it so that it will be now neutral fiber

:

Set NeutralFiberFlag = firstSweep.IsNeutralFiber

firstSweep.IsNeutralFiber = TRUE

Return type:

bool

property normal_axis_dir_reverse: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)

o Property NormalAxisDirReverse() As boolean

Returns the Sweep NormalAxisDirReverse flag (for Sweep Move Profile

only).

It returns TRUE if Normal Axis direction is reversed , FALSE if

not.

Returns:

oNormalAxisDirReverse The oNormalAxisDirReverse flag as a

boolean

Example:

Return type:

bool
