FlangeDefinition.GetWidthExtent Method

Parent Object: FlangeDefinition

Description

Property that returns the PartFeatureExtent object that defines how the width extent of the flange feature is defined.

Remarks

The type of extent object that this property will return can be determined by using the WidthExtentType property. Types that can be returned are EdgeWidthExtent, WidthWidthExtent, OffsetWidthExtent, and FromToWidthExtent. The extent can be defined by default width extent of the feature or an override for this particular physical flange. You can determine if it is an override or not by using the GetWidthExtentType property. When the FlangeDefinition object is transient, (created using the FlangeFeatures. CreateFlangeDefinition method or the Copy method of an existing FlangeDefinition object), this property will return Nothing. The FlangeDefinition still defines the width extent but its details are not accessible through this property. You can determine the type of width extent by using the WidthExtentType property and can set the width type using one of the various Set methods.
