SketchOffsetSpline Object

Derived from: SketchEntity Object

Description

The SketchOffsetSpline object represents an offset spline within a sketch. These special splines are created as a result of offsetting splines and ellipses in a sketch. See the article in the overviews section.

Methods

Name Description
ConvertToSpline Method that converts the offset spline to a SketchSpline object and breaks the association to the spline from which it is offset.
Delete Method that deletes the sketch entity. This method will fail in the case where this object was created as a result of a derived part. The HasReferenceComponent property can be used to determine when this is the case.
GetCustomLineType Method that returns information regarding the custom line type in use. The method returns a failure if the return value of the LineType property is not kCustomLineType.
GetReferenceKey Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity.
SetCustomLineType Method that sets a custom line type to the curve from the specified .lin file. The method automatically changes the value of LineType property to kCustomLineType.

Properties

Name Description
Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
AttributeSets Property that returns the AttributeSets collection object associated with this object.
Closed Boolean property that gets whether the curve is closed. A periodic curve is closed and curvature continuous at the closure.
Constraints Property that returns a collection of sketch constraints that are tied directly to this entity. This collection consists of both geometric and dimension constraints.
ConstraintStatus Read-only property that returns the constraint status of the sketch. Possible return values are kFullyConstrainedConstraintStatus, kOverConstrainedConstraintStatus, kUnderConstrainedConstraintStatus, and kUnknownConstraintStatus.
Construction
ContainingSketchBlock Property that returns the sketch block that contains this object. This is the same SketchBlock returned as the last item in the SketchBlockPath property. This property returns Nothing if this object does not belong to a sketch block and lives directly under a sketch.
CurvatureDisplay
DisabledActionTypes
EndSketchPoint Property that returns the that defines the position of the end of the spline.
Geometry Property that returns a geometry object. The object returned represents a "snapshot" view of the current state of the offset sketch spline.
Geometry3d Read-only property that returns b-spline geometry that represents this spline in model space.
HasReferenceComponent Property that specifies if the object was created as the result of a derived part.
Layer
Length Double property that returns the length of the entity in centimeters.
LineDefinitionSpace
LineScale
LineType
LineWeight
OriginalSpline Returns the original spline that was used as the source to create the offset spline.
OverrideColor
OwnedBy Indicates entity or entities that own this object.
Parent Property that returns the parent sketch of the entity.
RangeBox Property that returns a Box2D object which contains the lower-left and upper-right corners of a rectangle that is guaranteed to enclose this object.
Reference
ReferenceComponent Property that returns the ReferenceComponent that resulted in the creation of this feature.
ReferencedEntity Property that returns the object this entity is dependent on. When sketch entities are created by projecting model edges or intersecting the model, the resulting entities are driven by the original model entities and cannot be modified.
SketchBlockPath Property that returns the path of sketch blocks at the leaf of which this sketch object is found. The enumerator returns a count of 0 if the object lives directly under a sketch.
SketchOnly
StartSketchPoint Property that returns the that defines the position of the start of the spline.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
