.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function CreateLine( _
   ByVal X1 As System.Double, _
   ByVal Y1 As System.Double, _
   ByVal Z1 As System.Double, _
   ByVal X2 As System.Double, _
   ByVal Y2 As System.Double, _
   ByVal Z2 As System.Double _
) As SketchSegment
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISketchManager
Dim X1 As System.Double
Dim Y1 As System.Double
Dim Z1 As System.Double
Dim X2 As System.Double
Dim Y2 As System.Double
Dim Z2 As System.Double
Dim value As SketchSegment
 
value = instance.CreateLine(X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2)
C# 
SketchSegment CreateLine( 
   System.double X1,
   System.double Y1,
   System.double Z1,
   System.double X2,
   System.double Y2,
   System.double Z2
)
C++/CLI 
SketchSegment^ CreateLine( 
&   System.double X1,
&   System.double Y1,
&   System.double Z1,
&   System.double X2,
&   System.double Y2,
&   System.double Z2
) 

Parameters

X1
X coordinate of the line start point
Y1
Y coordinate of the line start point
Z1
Z coordinate of the line start point
X2
X coordinate of the line end point
Y2
Y coordinate of the line end point
Z2
Z coordinate of the line end point

Return Value

Sketch segment for the line

Example

Remarks

If a sketch is not active, then the line is not created and NULL is returned. You can check for an active sketch using the ISketchManager::ActiveSketch function.

ISketchManager::AddToDB and ISketchManager::DisplayWhenAdded increase performance during entity creation by adding entities directly to the SOLIDWORKS database. ISketchManager::AddToDB also avoids inferencing.

When this method is used with a drawing document, this method creates the line relative to the active drawing view, IDrawingDoc::ActiveDrawingView or IDrawingDoc::IActiveDrawingView.
