Adds or modifies a constraint between an iMate and an entity.

Namespace:  Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces
Assembly:  Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces (in Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces.dll) Version: 23.0
Syntax
Copy
Function AddByiMateAndEntity ( 
	constraintName As String,
	component1 As ComponentArgument,
	iMateName1 As String,
	component2 As ComponentArgument,
	entityName As String,
	Optional entityBiasPoint As Object = Nothing,
	Optional angleEntityReversed As Boolean = false
) As IManagedConstraint

Parameters

constraintName
Type: SystemString
The constraint name.
component1
Type: Autodesk.iLogic.TypesComponentArgument
The occurrence that contains the iMate. Examples: "Part:1" or {"Subassembly:1", "Part:1"}.
iMateName1
Type: SystemString
The iMate name.
component2
Type: Autodesk.iLogic.TypesComponentArgument
The occurrence that contains the entity. Examples: "Part:2" or {"Subassembly:2", "Part:2"}.
entityName
Type: SystemString
The entity name. This can be named or work geometry.
entityBiasPoint (Optional)
Type: SystemObject
Helps in determining the initial position of the second occurrence.
angleEntityReversed (Optional)
Type: SystemBoolean
Used when creating an angle constraint. This argument specifies if the direction of the entity should be reversed or not.

Return Value

Type: IManagedConstraint
The constraint. This will contain an iMateResult, which in turn references one or more AssemblyConstraint objects. The type of the constraint(s) is determined by the type of the iMates.
