WorkPoints Object


Description

Provides access to all of the objects in the parent document and provides methods to create new work points.

Methods

Name Description
AddAtCentroid Method that creates a new work point at the centroid of the input entities. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddByCurveAndEntity Method that creates a new work point at the intersection of the input curve and entity. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddByMidPoint Method that creates a new work point at the midpoint of the input edge. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddByPoint Method that creates a new work point at the input point. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddBySphereCenterPoint Creates a new work point at the center of the sphere specified by the input face. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddByThreePlanes Method that creates a new work point at the intersection of the three input planes. If the three input planes don't intersect an error will occur. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddByTorusCenterPoint Method that creates a new work point at the center of the torus specified by the input face. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddByTwoLines Method that creates a new work point at the intersection of the two input lines. If the lines don't intersect an error will occur. This method is not currently supported when creating a work point within an assembly.
AddFixed Method that creates a new work point at the position specified by the input point. When used to create a work point within an assembly the resulting work point will return an AssemblyWorkPointDef definition.

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.
Count Property that returns the number of items in this collection.
Item Returns the specified WorkPoint object from the collection. This is the default property of the WorkPoints collection object.
Parent Property returning the parent object.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.

Samples

Name Description
Create sheet metal rip feature This sample demonstrates the creation of a rip sheet metal feature.
Create sheet metal face and cut features This sample demonstrates the creation of sheet metal face and cut features.
Sweep Feature Add This sample demonstrates the creation of a sweep feature. The profile is a circle, but the path is made up of a 3D sketch and a 2D sketch.
UCS by three points This sample demonstrates the creation of a User Coordinate System (UCS) based on 3 points that define the origin, x-direction and y-direction for the UCS.
