GeometricConstraints.addTangent Method

Parent Object: GeometricConstraints
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Sketch/GeometricConstraints.h>

Description

Creates a new tangent constraint between two curves.

Syntax

Python
C++

"geometricConstraints_var" is a variable referencing a GeometricConstraints object.returnValue = geometricConstraints_var.addTangent(curveOne, curveTwo)

"geometricConstraints_var" is a variable referencing a GeometricConstraints object.

#include <Fusion/Sketch/GeometricConstraints.h>

returnValue = geometricConstraints_var->addTangent(curveOne, curveTwo);

Return Value

Type	Description
TangentConstraint	Returns the newly created TangentConstraint object or null if the creation failed.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
curveOne	SketchCurve	The first curve to be tangent.
curveTwo	SketchCurve	The second curve to be tangent.

Samples

Name	Description
Create Circle By 3 Tangents API Sample	Creates three lines and then draws a circle that is tangent to the lines. It then creates tangent constraints to maintain that relationship.
GeometricConstraints.addTangent	Demonstrates the GeometricConstraints.addTangent method.
SketchCircles.addByTwoTangents	Demonstrates the SketchCircles.addByTwoTangets method.
