SketchEquationCurves3D.Add Method

Parent Object: SketchEquationCurves3D

Description

Creates a new sketch equation curve in a 3D sketch.

Syntax

SketchEquationCurves3D.Add( CoordinateSystemType As CoordinateSystemTypeEnum, XValueOrRadius As String, YValueOrTheta As String, ZValueOrPhi As String, MinValue As Variant, MaxValue As Variant ) As SketchEquationCurve3D

Parameters

Name Type Description
CoordinateSystemType CoordinateSystemTypeEnum Enum value indicating if the coordinate system being used is Cartesian, Cylindrical, or Spherical.
XValueOrRadius String Expression that defines the equation for the X value when using a Cartesian coordinate system and the radius when using a Cylindrical or Spherical coordinate system.
YValueOrTheta String Expression that defines the equation for the Y value when using a Cartesian coordinate system and the theta value (or angle from the X axis) when using a Cylindrical coordinate system, and the theta value (or azimuth) for a spherical coordinate system.
ZValueOrPhi String Expression that defines the equation for the Z value when using a Cartesian or Cylindrical coordinate system, and the phi value (or inclination) for a spherical coordinate system.
MinValue Variant Expression defining the minimum value of “t”.
MaxValue Variant Expression defining the maximum value of “t”.

Samples

Name Description
Control point, equation, and intersection curve creation. This sample demonstrates several new curve creation techniques introduced in Inventor 2014. It creates a new part and then create a 2d control point spline and a 2d equation curve. Surfaces are created from these two curves by extruding them. A 3d intersection curve is created between the extrusions. A 3d control point spline and 3d equation curve are also created.
