Parameters

FileName

Name of the file that has the coordinates information; can be an empty string (see Remarks)

PointVar

Array of x, y coordinates of the points (see Remarks)

UseCentrod

True to use the centroid of the seed feature, face, or body; false to use another point as the reference point (see Remarks)

GeomPatt

True to pattern the geometry, false to not

Return Value

Feature

Specify:

• coordinates for the input points in system units in a .sldptab or .txt file for FileName.
  - or -
• input points in system units in PointVar. Because each point has two coordinates (x, y), the size of PointVar is (2 x number_of_points).

This method requires selecting the input entities using these selection marks:

• 4 = Seed feature

• 16 = Coordinate system

• 32 = Reference point

• 128 = Seed face

• 256 = Seed body

If UseCentrod is false, then you must specify a reference point.
