MoveFeatureInput.defineAsTranslateAlongEntity Method

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

Description

This method will define a move feature that defines a translation along a specified entity.

Syntax

Python
C++

"moveFeatureInput_var" is a variable referencing a MoveFeatureInput object.returnValue = moveFeatureInput_var.defineAsTranslateAlongEntity(linearEntity, distance)

"moveFeatureInput_var" is a variable referencing a MoveFeatureInput object.

#include <Fusion/Features/MoveFeatureInput.h>

returnValue = moveFeatureInput_var->defineAsTranslateAlongEntity(linearEntity, distance);

Return Value

Type	Description
boolean	Returns true if defining the type of move is successful.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
linearEntity	Base	A linear entity that defines the direction of the move. This can be a linear BRepEdge, ConstructionAxis, or a SketchLine. The entity defines the direction, not the distance. The natural direction of the entity defines the translation direction.
distance	ValueInput	A ValueInput object that defines the offset distance. If the ValueInput is created using a real value, the distance is in centimeters. If it's defined using a string, the default document units are used.
