Parameters

FileName

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

Count

Number of points specified

PointArr

Array of points of size 2*count (see Remarks)

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

You can specify the coordinates of the input points using a .sldptab file. You can create this file by clicking Save in the Table Driven Pattern dialog box.

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.
