SketchEllipticalArc.breakCurve Method

Breaks a curve into two or three pieces by finding intersections of this curve with all other curves in the sketch and splitting this curve at the nearest intersections to a specified point on the curve.

Syntax

Python
C++

"sketchEllipticalArc_var" is a variable referencing a SketchEllipticalArc object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = sketchEllipticalArc_var.breakCurve(segmentPoint)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = sketchEllipticalArc_var.breakCurve(segmentPoint, createConstraints)

"sketchEllipticalArc_var" is a variable referencing a SketchEllipticalArc object.

#include <Fusion/Sketch/SketchEllipticalArc.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = sketchEllipticalArc_var->breakCurve(segmentPoint);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = sketchEllipticalArc_var->breakCurve(segmentPoint, createConstraints);

Return Value

ObjectCollection

All of the curves resulting from the break are returned in an ObjectCollection. In the case where no intersections are found and as a result the curve is not broken, an empty ObjectCollection is returned.

Parameters

segmentPoint

Point3D

A point that specifies the segment of the curve that is to be split from the rest of the curve. The nearest intersection(s) to this point define the break location(s).

createConstraints

boolean

Optional argument that specifies if constraints should be created between the new curve segments. A value of true indicates constraints will be created.

This is an optional argument whose default value is True.

Type	Description
ObjectCollection	All of the curves resulting from the break are returned in an ObjectCollection. In the case where no intersections are found and as a result the curve is not broken, an empty ObjectCollection is returned.

Name	Type	Description
segmentPoint	Point3D	A point that specifies the segment of the curve that is to be split from the rest of the curve. The nearest intersection(s) to this point define the break location(s).
createConstraints	boolean	Optional argument that specifies if constraints should be created between the new curve segments. A value of true indicates constraints will be created. This is an optional argument whose default value is True.
