CIP Visual Basic.NET documentation for interface "IpfcCoordSysExportInstructions"

Interface IpfcCoordSysExportInstructions

Description

Base class of classes that export files with information that describes faceted, solid models (without datums and surfaces).

For more information about the Maximum Chord Height and Angle Control settings, refer to information about controlling the quality of an export in the Interface section of the Creo Parametric help.

Direct Parent Classes:: IpfcExportInstructions

Direct Known Subclasses:: IpfcCATIAFacetsExportInstructions, IpfcRenderExportInstructions, IpfcSTLASCIIExportInstructions, IpfcSTLBinaryExportInstructions, IpfcInventorExportInstructions

Property Summary


`Property`	`AngleControl`	`as Double [optional]`
	The Angle Control setting. (Pass `null` if you specify Quality.). Default value is 0.1.

`Property`	`CsysName`	`as String [optional]`
	Stores the name of a coordinate-system feature in the model being exported. A coordinate system that places the part or assembly in its upper-right quadrant is recommended, so that all position/distance values are positive. Allowed to be `null` if exporting as Slice

`Property`	`FacetControlOptions`	`as IpfcFacetControlFlags [optional]`
	Flags (FACET_STEP_SIZE_ADJUST and others) to control Facet export. (Pass `null` if not exporting slice formats).

`Property`	`MaxChordHeight`	`as Double [optional]`
	The Maximun Chord Height setting. (Pass `null` if you specify Quality.). Default value is 0.1.

`Property`	`Quality`	`as Long [optional]`
	Can be used in place of MaxChordHeight and AngleControl. A value between 1 and 10. The higher the value you pass, the lower the MaxChordHeight setting and the higher the AngleControl setting that the method will use. Pass `null` if you use MaxChordHeight and AngleControl values. If Quality, MaxChordHeight, and AngleControl are all `null`, a Quality value of 3 is used. Default value is 1.0

`Property`	`StepSize`	`as Double [optional]`
	The Step Size Control setting. (Pass `null` if you specify Quality.). Default value is 0.0.

Method Summary


`Function`	`GetSliceExportData () as IpfcSliceExportData [optional]`
	Returns an `IpfcSliceExportData` object or NULL if the `IpfcSliceExportData` isn't set.

`Sub`	`SetSliceExportData (SliceExpData as IpfcSliceExportData [optional])`
	Sets the `IpfcSliceExportData` .
