ICreateLine2 Method (IModelDoc2)

Creates a sketch line in the currently active 2D or 3D sketch.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function ICreateLine2( _
   ByVal P1x As System.Double, _
   ByVal P1y As System.Double, _
   ByVal P1z As System.Double, _
   ByVal P2x As System.Double, _
   ByVal P2y As System.Double, _
   ByVal P2z As System.Double _
) As SketchSegment
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IModelDoc2
Dim P1x As System.Double
Dim P1y As System.Double
Dim P1z As System.Double
Dim P2x As System.Double
Dim P2y As System.Double
Dim P2z As System.Double
Dim value As SketchSegment
 
value = instance.ICreateLine2(P1x, P1y, P1z, P2x, P2y, P2z)
C# 
SketchSegment ICreateLine2( 
   System.double P1x,
   System.double P1y,
   System.double P1z,
   System.double P2x,
   System.double P2y,
   System.double P2z
)
C++/CLI 
SketchSegment^ ICreateLine2( 
&   System.double P1x,
&   System.double P1y,
&   System.double P1z,
&   System.double P2x,
&   System.double P2y,
&   System.double P2z
) 

Parameters

P1x

X value of the line start point

P1y
Y value of the line start point
P1z

Z value of the line start point

P2x

X value of the line end point

P2y

Y value of the line end point

P2z

Z value of the line end point

Return Value

Newly created ISketchSegment object; if the operation fails, then NULL is returned

Remarks

If a sketch is not active, then the line is not created and NULL is returned. You can check for an active sketch using IModelDoc2::GetActiveSketch2 or IModelDoc2::IGetActiveSketch2.

For COM applications, the underlying ISketchLine object can be obtained using QueryInterface on the ISketchSegment object returned. C++ Dispatch applications can define a new ISketchLine or ISketchSegment object that uses this Dispatch pointer. Visual Basic applications interpret the pointer for you automatically so you can use the returned object to call ISketchSegment or ISketchLine functions.

IModelDoc2::SetAddToDB and IModelDoc2::SetDisplayWhenAdded increase performance during entity creation by adding entities directly to the SolidWorks database. IModelDoc2::SetAddToDB also avoids inferencing.

When this method is used with a drawing document, this method creates the line relative to the active drawing view, IDrawingDoc::ActiveDrawingView or IDrawingDoc::IActiveDrawingView.
