"circularPatternFeatures_var" is a variable referencing a CircularPatternFeatures object. |
| Type | Description |
| CircularPatternFeatureInput | Returns the newly created CircularPatternFeatureInput object or null if the creation failed. |
| Name | Type | Description |
| inputEntities | ObjectCollection | An ObjectCollection of the entities to pattern. The collection can contain BRepFace, PartFeature, BRepBody, or Occurrence objects. All of the entities provided must be the same type. For example, it must contain only bodies and can't contain both bodies and faces. You can also pattern ConstructionPoint, ConstructionAxis, and ConstructionPlane objects. When patterning any construction goemetry, only one entity can be patterned at a time, so the ObjectCollection must contain a single item. |
| axis | Base | Input linear entity or the entity has axis that defines axis of circular pattern. This can be a sketch line, linear edge, construction axis, an edge/sketch curve that defines an axis (circle, etc.) or a face that defines an axis (cylinder, cone, torus, etc.). |
| Name | Description |
| circularPatternFeatures.add | Demonstrates the circularPatternFeatures.add method. To use the sample have a design open that contains at least one body. When you run the script, it will prompt you to select a body, which will be patterned around the base Y-axis. |
| CircularPattern Feature API Sample | Demonstrates creating a new circular pattern feature. |
