CoilFeatures.AddSpiral Method
Parent Object: CoilFeaturesDescription
Method that creates a new CoilFeature that sweeps a specified angle. The new CoilFeature is returned.
Syntax
CoilFeatures.AddSpiral( Profile As Profile, AxisEntity As Object, Pitch As Variant, Revolution As Variant, Operation As PartFeatureOperationEnum, [AxisDirectionReversed] As Boolean, [ClockwiseRotation] As Boolean ) As CoilFeatureParameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| Profile | Profile | Input object used to define the shape of the coil. |
| AxisEntity | Object | Input linear entity that defines the axis of the revolution. Valid input is either a sketch line or work axis. The axis entity must not intersect the input profile. |
| Pitch | Variant | Input Variant that defines the pitch of the coil feature. This can be either a numeric value or a string. A parameter for this value will be created and the supplied string or value is assigned to the parameter. If a value is input, the units are centimeters. If a string is input, the units can be specified as part of the string or it will default to the current length units of the document. |
| Revolution | Variant | Input Variant that defines the number of revolutions of the coil feature. This can be either a numeric value or a string. A parameter for this value will be created and the supplied string or value is assigned to the parameter. If a value is input, it is unitless. If a string is input it must resolve to a unitless value. |
| Operation | PartFeatureOperationEnum | Input constant that indicates the type of operation to perform. Valid input is kJoinOperation, kCutOperation, kIntersectOperation, kSurfaceOperation. |
| AxisDirectionReversed | Boolean | Optional input Boolean that indicates a reversal of axis direction. The default is False, which means the axis direction will be in the same direction as the natural direction of the input axis entity. This is an optional argument whose default value is False. |
| ClockwiseRotation | Boolean | Optional input Boolean that defines whether the rotation of the coil is clockwise or counter-clockwise. The default is False, indicating counter-clockwise rotation. This is an optional argument whose default value is False. |
