Parameters

constraintName

Type: SystemString
The constraint name.

component1

Type: Autodesk.iLogic.TypesComponentArgument
The occurrence that contains the first entity. Examples: "Part:1" or {"Subassembly:1", "Part:1"}.

entityName1

Type: SystemString
The first entity name. This can be named or work geometry.

component2

Type: Autodesk.iLogic.TypesComponentArgument
The occurrence that contains the second entity. Examples: "Part:2" or {"Subassembly:2", "Part:2"}.

entityName2

Type: SystemString
The second entity name. This can be named or work geometry.

offset (Optional)

Type: SystemObject
Optional input that defines the offset between the two input entities. This can be either a numeric value or a string. Default: 0.

e1InferredType (Optional)

Type: InferredTypeEnum
Optional input constant that specifies how the geometry of entity one is to be interpreted.

e2InferredType (Optional)

Type: InferredTypeEnum
Optional input constant that specifies how the geometry of entity two is to be interpreted.

solutionType (Optional)

Type: MateConstraintSolutionTypeEnum
Optional input MateConstraintSolutionTypeEnum that specifies the solution type.

biasPoint1 (Optional)

Type: SystemObject
Optional input object that is used to help in determining the initial position of the first occurrence. The occurrences are repositioned in an attempt to make the two bias points coincident.

biasPoint2 (Optional)

Type: SystemObject
Optional input object that is used to help in determining the initial position of the second occurrence. The occurrences are repositioned in an attempt to make the two bias points coincident.
