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 Double, _
   ByVal OriginY As Double, _
   ByVal OriginZ As Double, _
   ByVal XAxisX As Double, _
   ByVal XAxisY As Double, _
   ByVal XAxisZ As Double, _
   ByVal YAxisX As Double, _
   ByVal YAxisY As Double, _
   ByVal YAxisZ As Double, _
   ByVal NormalX As Double, _
   ByVal NormalY As Double, _
   ByVal NormalZ As Double _
) As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISketch
Dim OriginX As Double
Dim OriginY As Double
Dim OriginZ As Double
Dim XAxisX As Double
Dim XAxisY As Double
Dim XAxisZ As Double
Dim YAxisX As Double
Dim YAxisY As Double
Dim YAxisZ As Double
Dim NormalX As Double
Dim NormalY As Double
Dim NormalZ As Double
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.SetWorkingPlaneOrientation(OriginX, OriginY, OriginZ, XAxisX, XAxisY, XAxisZ, YAxisX, YAxisY, YAxisZ, NormalX, NormalY, NormalZ)
C# 
bool SetWorkingPlaneOrientation( 
   double OriginX,
   double OriginY,
   double OriginZ,
   double XAxisX,
   double XAxisY,
   double XAxisZ,
   double YAxisX,
   double YAxisY,
   double YAxisZ,
   double NormalX,
   double NormalY,
   double NormalZ
)
C++/CLI 
bool SetWorkingPlaneOrientation( 
&   double OriginX,
&   double OriginY,
&   double OriginZ,
&   double XAxisX,
&   double XAxisY,
&   double XAxisZ,
&   double YAxisX,
&   double YAxisY,
&   double YAxisZ,
&   double NormalX,
&   double NormalY,
&   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.
