Applies the specified increment to the specified pattern instance dimension or spacing.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function InsertVaryInstanceIncrement( _
   ByVal DName As System.String, _
   ByVal PatternType As System.Integer, _
   ByVal IncrementType As System.Integer, _
   ByVal Direction As System.Integer, _
   ByVal IncrementValue As System.Double _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IFeatureManager
Dim DName As System.String
Dim PatternType As System.Integer
Dim IncrementType As System.Integer
Dim Direction As System.Integer
Dim IncrementValue As System.Double
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.InsertVaryInstanceIncrement(DName, PatternType, IncrementType, Direction, IncrementValue)
C# 
System.bool InsertVaryInstanceIncrement( 
   System.string DName,
   System.int PatternType,
   System.int IncrementType,
   System.int Direction,
   System.double IncrementValue
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool InsertVaryInstanceIncrement( 
&   System.String^ DName,
&   System.int PatternType,
&   System.int IncrementType,
&   System.int Direction,
&   System.double IncrementValue
) 

Parameters

DName

If IncrementType is... Then set DName to...
1 Name of the pattern instance dimension to increment
2 "Spacing Increment"

PatternType

Type of pattern (see Remarks):

  • 2 = linear
  • 4 = circular
  • 256 = table-driven
IncrementType

Type of increment:

  • 1 = dimension
  • 2 = spacing
Direction

Direction in which to apply the dimension or spacing increment. 

If PatternType is... Then set Direction to...
2
  • 0 = direction 1
  • 1 = direction 2
4 0 = direction 1

IncrementValue
Value with which to increment the pattern instance dimension or spacing

Return Value

True if the increment is applied successfully, false if not

Example

Remarks

To vary the spacings or dimensions of pattern instances:

  1. Call this method multiple times to increment multiple dimensions or spacings of pattern instances.
  2. Call IFeatureManager::InsertVaryInstanceOverride multiple times to override multiple dimensions or spacings of pattern instances.

If PatternType is... Call...
2 IFeatureManager::FeatureLinearPattern3
4 IFeatureManager::FeatureCircularPattern4
256 IFeatureManager::FeatureAdvancedTableDrivenPattern
