Parameters

FileName

Name of the file that has the coordinates information; can be an empty string

PointVar

Array of x, y coordinates of the points

UseCentrod

True to use the centroid of the seed feature, face, or body, or false to use another point as the reference point

GeomPatt

True to pattern the geometry, false to not

Return Value

Pointer to the IFeature object

You can specify the coordinates of the input points using a .sldptab file.

The file coordinates are specified along with units. The points can also be specified in the PointArr argument. Because each point has two coordinates (x, y), the size of PointArr is 2*count. The value in the array should be in system units.

This method requires selecting the required input entities using the proper selection marks:

• Coordinate system 16

• Seed feature 4

• Seed face 128

• Seed body 256

• Reference point 32

If centroid is not used, then you must specify a reference point.
