IGetSymArcs Method (IEnvironment)

Gets an array that defines all arcs in the symbol.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IGetSymArcs( _
   ByVal SymId As System.String _
) As System.Double
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IEnvironment
Dim SymId As System.String
Dim value As System.Double
 
value = instance.IGetSymArcs(SymId)
C# 
System.double IGetSymArcs( 
   System.string SymId
)
C++/CLI 
System.double IGetSymArcs( 
&   System.String^ SymId
) 

Parameters

SymId

Name of the geometric tolerance symbol formatted as:

<LibraryName-SymbolName>

where LibraryName and SymbolName is a pre-defined SolidWorks symbol in the SolidWorks text file located in installation_dir>\lang\english\gtol.sym

NOTE: You must include the right- and left-angle brackets and separate LibraryName and SymbolName with a hyphen; for example, <MOD-DEG>.

Return Value

  • in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array of doubles (see Remarks)
  • VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

    See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

  • Remarks

    Each arc in the symbol is defined by three points (center, arc start, and end). The size of the array returned is based on the number of arcs within this symbol. You can determine this number using the return value arc count from IEnvironment::IGetSymEdgeCounts.

    The format of return value is the following array of doubles (in this example, for the (i)th arc):

    retval[9 * i + 0] = X-coordinate of center point

    retval[9 * i + 1] = Y-coordinate of center point

    retval[9 * i + 2] = Z-coordinate of center point

     

    retval[9 * i + 3] = X-coordinate of arc start point

    retval[9 * i + 4] = Y-coordinate of arc start point

    retval[9 * i + 5] = Z-coordinate of arc start point

     

    retval[9 * i + 6] = X-coordinate of arc end point

    retval[9 * i + 7] = Y-coordinate of arc end point

    retval[9 * i + 8] = Z-coordinate of arc end point

     

    NOTE: All numeric values returned from the Environment class are relative to a unit text height of 1.0. For example, for a symbol with a text height of .15, multiply the numeric return values by .15.
