C++/CLI 
Feature^ FeatureLinearPattern3( 
&   System.int Num1,
&   System.double Spacing1,
&   System.int Num2,
&   System.double Spacing2,
&   System.bool FlipDir1,

&   System.String^ DName1,
&   System.String^ DName2,
&   System.bool GeometryPattern,
&   System.bool VaryInstance
)

Parameters

Num1
Number of instances of the linear pattern in Direction 1, including the original
Spacing1
Spacing between each instance of the linear pattern in Direction 1 in meters
Num2
Number of instances of the linear pattern in Direction 2, including the original
Spacing2
Spacing between each instance of the linear pattern in Direction 2 in meters
FlipDir1
True if you want to reverse the direction the linear pattern in Direction 1, false if not
FlipDir2
True if you want to reverse the direction of the linear pattern in Direction 2, false if not
DName1
Name of the dimension defining Direction 1
DName2
Name of the dimension defining Direction 2
GeometryPattern
True to use geometry pattern, false to not
VaryInstance
True to vary the dimensions and spacing of individual pattern instances, false to not; valid only if GeometryPattern = false (see Remarks)

Return Value

Feature

Example

Remarks

If...

To select a feature, use...

To select a component, use...

Using IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select features and components, ordered selection of the features and components is required

  • 1 and 2 to mark the directions

  • 4 to mark the features to pattern

  • 1 to mark the components to pattern

  • 2 and 4 to mark the directions

Directly selecting a feature or component

IFeature::Select2

ISelectData::Mark and Component2::Select3

 

If VaryInstance = true, then to indicate how to vary the individual pattern instances, decide on the type of pattern and call its corresponding method before calling this method:

Type... Method...
Increment IFeatureManager::InsertVaryInstanceIncrement
Override IFeatureManager::InsertVaryInstanceOverride
