WorkPlane.SetByLinePlaneAndAngle Method
Parent Object: WorkPlaneDescription
Method that redefines the work plane to be through the input line at the specified angle from the input plane.
Remarks
This method is not valid when the work plane exists in an Assembly component definition.Syntax
WorkPlane.SetByLinePlaneAndAngle( Line As Object, Plane As Object, Angle As Variant )Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
Line | Object | Input object that represents a line. This object can be a linear Edge, WorkAxis, SketchLine, or SketchLine3D object. |
Plane | Object | Input object that represents a Plane. This object can be a planar Face, WorkPlane, or Sketch object. |
Angle | Variant | Input Variant that defines the offset angle of the work plane from the input plane. This can be a numeric value or a string. The offset angle of a work plane is always defined by a parameter. When a new work plane is created, the parameter is automatically created. If a numeric value is supplied the new parameter is set to the value specified and the value is always in radians. If a string is supplied it is used as the expression for the newly created parameter and will be interpreted the same as if the user entered it in a dialog. This means if a value is specified without a unit qualifier it will default to the current document length unit. The following is a valid entry for the angle, assuming the parameter d2 already exists and defines an angle, 'd2 + 10 deg'. The positive angle direction is computed by crossing the axis vector with the plane normal vector. |
