Defines an envelope input defined by a plane for the arrange feature. Only a single envelope input can exist at a time. Calling this method will cause any existing envelope object input that has been created for this input to be invalid.
plane |
ConstructionPlane |
The Construction plane the envelope will be on. |
length |
ValueInput |
The length of the envelope. This is the size of the envelope as measured along the X axis of the specified construction plane.
This value will become a parameter when the arrangement is created. If the ValueInput is created using a real number it is in centimeters. If you use a string, it is evaluated the same as a value would be in the command dialog and uses the current document units. For example, if the document units are inch and you specific "0.25" it will result in 1/4 inch clearance. Using a string, you can also specify the units as part of the expression, such as "0.25 in + 2 mm". And you can define equations like "PartSize + 2 mm" where "PartSize" is an existing parameter. |
width |
ValueInput |
The width of the envelope. This is the size of the envelope as measured along the Y axis of the specified construction plane.
This value will become a parameter when the arrangement is created. If the ValueInput is created using a real number it is in centimeters. If you use a string, it is evaluated the same as a value would be in the command dialog and uses the current document units.
