PlanarSketches.AddWithOrientation Method
Parent Object: PlanarSketchesDescription
Method that creates a new sketch based on the input planar entity and orientation information.
Syntax
PlanarSketches.AddWithOrientation( PlanarEntity As Object, AxisEntity As Object, NaturalAxisDirection As Boolean, AxisIsX As Boolean, Origin As Object, [UseFaceEdges] As Boolean ) As PlanarSketchParameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| PlanarEntity | Object | Input object that defines the planar object the sketch is to be built on. Valid input for this argument includes planar faces and work planes. |
| AxisEntity | Object | Input object that defines the X or Y axis of the sketch plane (the AxisIsX argument defines which). Valid input includes linear edges, sketch lines from another sketch, and work axes. |
| NaturalAxisDirection | Boolean | Input Boolean that defines if the sketch plane X or Y axis is in the same direction as that defined by the input axis entity. True indicates the axis direction is in the same direction as that of the input entity. |
| AxisIsX | Boolean | Input Boolean that specifies if the axis entity defines the X or Y axis. True indicates the axis defines the X-axis. |
| Origin | Object | Input object that defines the origin of the sketch plane. Valid input is a vertex, work point, or a sketch point from another sketch. |
| UseFaceEdges | Boolean | Optional input Boolean that specifies if sketch geometry should automatically be created for all of the edges of the input face. This is the behavior when creating a sketch interactively in Autodesk Inventor. This argument is ignored in the case when PlanarEntity is a work plane. The default value of False specifies that no sketch geometry should automatically be created from the face edges. This is an optional argument whose default value is False. |
