WorkAxes Object


Description

The WorkAxes collection object provides access to all of the objects in the parent document and provides methods to create new work axes.

Methods

Name Description
AddByAnalyticEdge Method that creates a new work axis based on the input analytic edge. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByLine Method that creates a new work axis based on the input line. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByLineAndPlane Method that creates a new work axis that is along a line defined by projecting the input line onto the input plane along the plane normal. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByLineAndPoint Method that creates a new work axis that is parallel to a line and passes through the input point. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByNormalToSurface Method that creates a new work axis that passes through the point and is normal to the input surface. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByRevolvedFace Method that creates a new work axis through the axis of a revolved face. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByTwoPlanes Method that creates a new work axis at the intersection of the two input planes. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddByTwoPoints Method that creates a new work axis through the two input points. This method is not currently supported when creating a work axis within an assembly.
AddFixed Method that creates a new work axis that passes through the input point in the direction of the input vector. When used to create a work axis within an assembly the resulting work axis will return an AssemblyWorkAxisDef definition.
