Syntax

VB

Function AddByiMateAndEntity ( 
	constraintName As String,
	component1 As ComponentArgument,
	iMateName1 As String,
	component2 As ComponentArgument,
	entityName As String,
	Optional entityBiasPoint As Object = Nothing,
	Optional angleEntityReversed As Boolean = false
) As IManagedConstraint

C#

IManagedConstraint AddByiMateAndEntity(
	string constraintName,
	ComponentArgument component1,
	string iMateName1,
	ComponentArgument component2,
	string entityName,
	Object entityBiasPoint = null,
	bool angleEntityReversed = false
)

Parameters

constraintName

Type: System.String
The constraint name.

component1

Type: Autodesk.iLogic.Types.ComponentArgument
The occurrence that contains the iMate. Examples: "Part:1" or {"Subassembly:1", "Part:1"}.

iMateName1

Type: System.String
The iMate name.

component2

Type: Autodesk.iLogic.Types.ComponentArgument
The occurrence that contains the entity. Examples: "Part:2" or {"Subassembly:2", "Part:2"}.

entityName

Type: System.String
The entity name. This can be named or work geometry.

entityBiasPoint (Optional)

Type: System.Object
Helps in determining the initial position of the second occurrence.

angleEntityReversed (Optional)

Type: System.Boolean
Used when creating an angle constraint. This argument specifies if the direction of the entity should be reversed or not.

Return Value

Type: IManagedConstraint
The constraint. This will contain an iMateResult, which in turn references one or more AssemblyConstraint objects. The type of the constraint(s) is determined by the type of the iMates.
