Vector Object

Description

The Vector object. For more information, see the Transient Geometry overview.

Methods

Name	Description
AddVector	Add the specified vector to this vector.
AngleTo	Determines the angle between this vector and the specified vector.
AsUnitVector	Get the unit vector equivalent of this vector normalized.
Copy	Creates a copy of this Vector object. The result is entirely independent and can be edited without affecting the original Vector object.
CrossProduct	Determine the cross product between this vector and the specified vector.
DotProduct	Determine the dot product of this vector to the specified vector.
GetVectorData	Get the data defining this vector.
IsEqualTo	Compare this vector for equality to the specified vector.
IsParallelTo	Determine if this vector is parallel to the specified vector.
IsPerpendicularTo	Determine if this vector is perpendicular to the specified vector.
Normalize	Normalize this vector to result in a length equal to 1.0.
PutVectorData	Method that sets the data defining this vector.
ScaleBy	Scale this vector by the specified scale factor.
SubtractVector	Subtract the specified vector from this vector.
TransformBy	Transform this vector by the specified matrix.

Samples

Name	Description
SurfaceBody Copy	This sample demonstrates copying a surface body from one part to another. This is equivalent to the Promote command, but the API is much more flexible. In order for the sample to be self-contained, it creates two parts on the fly that will be used to demonstrate copying a body from one part to another. When copying a body into a part, you provide the surface body and a matrix to define its position in the new part. This sample creates a matrix based on the position of these parts within an assembly.
OnDrag Event - dragging a WorkPoint	This sample demonstrates the use of the OnDrag event to drag fixed work points when no command is active. This sample only allows drags parallel to the X-Y plane. This sample is dependent on events and VB only supports events within a class module.
