SketchEllipse3D Object

Derived from: SketchEntity3D Object

Description

The SketchEllipse3D object represents an ellipse within a 3D sketch. See the article in the overviews section.

Methods

Name Description
Delete Method that deletes the sketch entity.
GetReferenceKey Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity.

Properties

Name Description
Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
Area Double property that returns the area of the entity in square centimeters.
AttributeSets Property that returns the AttributeSets collection object associated with this object.
CenterPoint Property that returns the point that defines the position of the center of the ellipse.
Constraints3D Property that returns a collection of sketch constraints that are tied directly to this entity. This collection consists of geometric and bend constraints.
ConstraintStatus Property that returns an enum indicating the constraint status of the sketch entity, signifying whether it is fully constrained, over constrained, or under constrained.
Construction Gets / sets the Sketch3D Construction Property.
CurvatureDisplay Specifies whether curvature information is displayed for the ellipse.
Geometry Gets and sets an EllipseFull geometry object. The object returned represents a 'snapshot' view of the current state of the sketch ellipse.
HasReferenceComponent Property that specifies if the object was created as the result of a derived part.
Length Gets the length of the ellipse.
MajorAxisVector Gets the MajorAxisVector of the ellipse.
MajorRadius Gets the MajorRadius of the ellipse.
MinorRadius Gets the MinorRadius of the ellipse.
OwnedBy Property indicating entity or entities that own this object.
Parent Property that returns the parent sketch of the entity.
RangeBox Property that returns a Box object which contains the opposing points of a rectangular box that is guaranteed to enclose this object.
Reference Gets and sets whether this entity is a reference entity or not.
ReferenceComponent Property that returns the ReferenceComponent that resulted in the creation of this feature.
ReferencedEntity Property that returns the object this entity is dependent on. When sketch entities are created by projecting model edges or intersecting the model, the resulting entities are driven by the original model entities and cannot be modified. This property returns the model entity the sketch entity is dependent on. The Reference property indicates whether the sketch entity is driven by a model entity or not. If the sketch entity is not referencing a model entity, this property will return Nothing. This property can also return nothing even when the sketch entity is referencing a model entity in the case where the model entity has been consumed by some subsequent modeling operation.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
