SketchCircles.addByTwoTangents Method

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

Description

Creates a sketch circle that is tangent to the two input lines. The two lines must lie on the x-y plane of the sketch.

Syntax

Python
C++

"sketchCircles_var" is a variable referencing a SketchCircles object.returnValue = sketchCircles_var.addByTwoTangents(tangentOne, tangentTwo, radius, hintPoint)

"sketchCircles_var" is a variable referencing a SketchCircles object.

#include <Fusion/Sketch/SketchCircles.h>

returnValue = sketchCircles_var->addByTwoTangents(tangentOne, tangentTwo, radius, hintPoint);

Return Value

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

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
tangentOne	SketchLine	The first line that the circle will be tangent to. The line must lie on the x-y plane of the sketch.
tangentTwo	SketchLine	The second line that the circle will be tangent to. The line must lie on the x-y plane of the sketch and cannot be parallel to the first line.
radius	double	The radius of the circle in centimeters.
hintPoint	Point3D	A point that specifies which of the possible four solutions to use when creating the circle. If you consider the two input lines to be infinite they create four quadrants which results in four possible solutions for the creation of the circle. The hint point is a point anywhere within the quadrant where you want the circle created.
