Angle Constraint <IvAngleConstraint>

Synopsis

This creates an angle assembly constraint between two Inventor components, where a component can be a part or an assembly. You could select planar faces, work planes, linear edges and work axes as constrained entities. The constraint causes the components to be positioned so that angle between entities is equal to the defined value.

Parameters

Name Type Description
part1 part Part or assembly for the first item.
entity1 string Name of the first item (face, edge, etc.).
iMate1 string Name of an iMate that may be supplied for first item instead of entity1.
part2 part Part or assembly for the second item.
entity2 string Name of the second item (face, edge, etc.).
iMate2 string Name of an iMate that may be supplied for first item instead of entity2.
componentName string Name of constraint displayed in Inventor browser.
suppressed? boolean Should constraint be suppressed?
angle number Angle between the two entities.
directed? boolean If True (default), the right hand rule will be used; If False , the left hand rule will be used.
reverse1? boolean Reverses the direction of first entity. This parameter can only be set at constraint creation time.
reverse2? boolean Reverses the direction of second entity. This parameter can only be set at constraint creation time.
