.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IGetSymTextPoints( _
   ByVal SymId As System.String _
) As System.Double
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IEnvironment
Dim SymId As System.String

&   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

    The size of the array returned is based on the number of text pieces within this symbol. You can determine this number using the return value text count from IEnvironment::IGetSymEdgeCounts.

    The return value is an array of doubles as follows:

    retval[0] X location of text 1

    retval[1] Y location of text 1

    retval[2] Z location of text 1

     

    retval[3] X location of text 2

    retval[4] Y location of text 2

    retval[5] Z location of text 2

    retval[ (n*3-3)] X location of text n

    retval[ (n*3-2)] Y location of text n

    retval[ (n*3-1)] Z location of text n

    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 values returned by .15.
