SetWorkingPlaneOrientation Method (ISketch)

Sets the orientation for sketching geometry in a 3D sketch. It sets the planar location for new 2D and 3D geometry in a 3D sketch.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function SetWorkingPlaneOrientation( _
   ByVal OriginX As System.Double, _
   ByVal OriginY As System.Double, _
   ByVal OriginZ As System.Double, _
   ByVal XAxisX As System.Double, _
   ByVal XAxisY As System.Double, _
   ByVal XAxisZ As System.Double, _
   ByVal YAxisX As System.Double, _
   ByVal YAxisY As System.Double, _
   ByVal YAxisZ As System.Double, _
   ByVal NormalX As System.Double, _
   ByVal NormalY As System.Double, _
   ByVal NormalZ As System.Double _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISketch
Dim OriginX As System.Double
Dim OriginY As System.Double
Dim OriginZ As System.Double
Dim XAxisX As System.Double
Dim XAxisY As System.Double
Dim XAxisZ As System.Double
Dim YAxisX As System.Double
Dim YAxisY As System.Double
Dim YAxisZ As System.Double
Dim NormalX As System.Double

   System.double NormalX,
   System.double NormalY,
   System.double NormalZ
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool SetWorkingPlaneOrientation( 
&   System.double OriginX,
&   System.double OriginY,
&   System.double OriginZ,
&   System.double XAxisX,
&   System.double XAxisY,
&   System.double XAxisZ,
&   System.double YAxisX,
&   System.double YAxisY,
&   System.double YAxisZ,
&   System.double NormalX,
&   System.double NormalY,
&   System.double NormalZ
) 

Parameters

OriginX

x coordinate of the origin of the axis

OriginY
y coordinate of the origin of the axis
OriginZ

z coordinate of the origin of the axis

XAxisX

x coordinate of the x vector direction

XAxisY

y coordinate of the x vector direction

XAxisZ

z coordinate of the x vector direction

YAxisX

x coordinate of the y vector direction

YAxisY

y coordinate of the y vector direction

YAxisZ

z coordinate of the y vector direction

NormalX
x coordinate of the normal to the planar direction
NormalY
y coordinate of the normal to the planar direction
NormalZ

z coordinate of the normal to the planar direction

Return Value

True if the orientation is set, false if not

Remarks

This method sets the planar location for new 2D and 3D geometry in a 3D sketch.
