UserCoordinateSystemGeometry.createByProfile Method

Parent Object: UserCoordinateSystemGeometry

Preview This functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Construction/UserCoordinateSystemGeometry.h>

Description

Creates a new transient UserCoordinateSystemGeometry object based on a Profile and a curve defining that profile. A UserCoordinateSystemGeometry object can be used to create a User Coordinate System.

This is a static method.


returnValue = adsk.fusion.UserCoordinateSystemGeometry.createByProfile(profile, sketchCurve, keyPointType)

This is a static method.


#include <Fusion/Construction/UserCoordinateSystemGeometry.h>

returnValue = adsk::fusion::UserCoordinateSystemGeometry::createByProfile(profile, sketchCurve, keyPointType);

Return Value

Type	Description
UserCoordinateSystemGeometry	Returns the transient UserCoordinateSystemGeometry object that can be used to create a User Coordinate System or null in the case of a failure.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
profile	Profile	The Profile object.
sketchCurve	SketchCurve	A sketch curve that is part of the input profile. This argument can be null in the case where the keyPointType is CenterKeypoint indicating the center of the profile is to be used. When a curve is used, the keyPointType specifies the position along the curve for the keypoint.
keyPointType	UserCoordinateSystemKeyPointTypes	Specifies the position along the curve where the joint keypoint will be located. For open curves (lines, arcs, elliptical arcs, and open splines) this can be StartKeyPoint, MiddleKeyPoint, or EndKeyPoint. For closed analytic (circles and ellipses), it must be CenterKeyPoint. When no curve is specified, it must be CenterKeyPoint indicating the center of area of the profile is to be used.
