SketchEllipseProxy Object

Derived from: SketchEllipse Object

Description

This is an assembly-context proxy object derived from its native definition-context object.

Methods

Name Description
Delete Method that deletes the sketch entity. This method will fail in the case where this object was created as a result of a derived part. The HasReferenceComponent property can be used to determine when this is the case.
GetCustomLineType Method that returns information regarding the custom line type in use. The method returns a failure if the return value of the LineType property is not kCustomLineType.
GetReferenceKey Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity.
SetCustomLineType Method that sets a custom line type to the curve from the specified .lin file. The method automatically changes the value of LineType property to kCustomLineType.

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.
CenterSketchPoint Property that gets the sketch point that defines the position of the center of the ellipse.
Constraints Property that returns a collection of sketch constraints that are tied directly to this entity. This collection consists of both geometric and dimension constraints.
ConstraintStatus Read-only property that returns the constraint status of the sketch. Possible return values are kFullyConstrainedConstraintStatus, kOverConstrainedConstraintStatus, kUnderConstrainedConstraintStatus, and kUnknownConstraintStatus.
Construction Gets and sets whether the entity behaves as a construction entity or not.
ContainingOccurrence Property that returns the ComponentOccurrence that the native object is being referenced through. The returned occurrence is the containing occurrence.
ContainingSketchBlock Property that returns the sketch block that contains this object. This is the same SketchBlock returned as the last item in the SketchBlockPath property. This property returns Nothing if this object does not belong to a sketch block and lives directly under a sketch.
CurvatureDisplay Specifies whether curvature information is displayed for the ellipse.
DisabledActionTypes Gets and sets whether specific user actions are blocked on this sketch geometry.
Geometry Property that returns an EllipseFull2d geometry object. The object returned represents a snapshot view of the current state of the sketch ellipse.
Geometry3d Read-only property that returns ellipse geometry that represents this ellipse in model space.
HasReferenceComponent Property that specifies if the object was created as the result of a derived part.
Layer Gets and sets the layer applied to this sketch entity.
Length Gets the length of the ellipse.
LineDefinitionSpace Gets and sets the LineDefinitionSpace applied to this sketch line.
LineScale Gets and sets the LineScale applied to this sketch line.
LineType Gets and sets the LineType applied to this sketch line.
LineWeight Gets and sets the LineWeight applied to this sketch line.
MajorAxisVector Gets and sets the major axis vector. This vector defines the direction of the major axis.
MajorRadius Gets and sets the major radius.
MinorRadius Gets and sets the minor radius.
NativeObject Gets the object in the context of the definition instead of the containing assembly.
OverrideColor Gets and sets the color applied to this sketch line.
OwnedBy Indicates entity or entities that own this object.
Parent Property that returns the parent sketch of the entity.
RangeBox Property that returns a Box2D object which contains the lower-left and upper-right corners of a rectangle that is guaranteed to enclose this object.
Reference Gets and sets whether this entity is a reference entity or not. It is only valid to set this property to False.
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.
SketchBlockPath Property that returns the path of sketch blocks at the leaf of which this sketch object is found. The enumerator returns a count of 0 if the object lives directly under a sketch.
SketchOnly Gets and sets whether this entity is visible only when editing the sketch.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
