Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IFeatureManager
Dim Reversed As System.Boolean
Dim Clockwise As System.Boolean
Dim Helixdef As System.Integer
Dim Startangle As System.Double
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.InsertVariablePitchHelix(Reversed, Clockwise, Helixdef, Startangle)
C# 
System.bool InsertVariablePitchHelix( 
   System.bool Reversed,
   System.bool Clockwise,
   System.int Helixdef,
   System.double Startangle
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool InsertVariablePitchHelix(

&   System.bool Clockwise,
&   System.int Helixdef,
&   System.double Startangle
) 

Parameters

Reversed
True to reverse the variable-pitch helix, false to not
Clockwise
True to create the variable-pitch helix in a clockwise direction, false to create in a counter-clockwise direction
Helixdef

Definition of variable-pitch helix as defined in swHelixDefinedBy_e; valid enumerators are:

  • swHelixDefinedByPitchAndRevolution

  • swHelixDefinedByHeightandRevolution

  • swHelixDefinedByHeightAndPitch

Startangle
Angle at which to start the variable-pitch helix

Return Value

True if the variable-pitch helix is started, false if not

Example

Remarks

To create and insert a variable-pitch helix, call:

  1. IFeatureManager::InsertVariablePitchHelix to create it.
  2. IFeatureManager::AddVariablePitchHelixFirstPitchAndDiamenter to add the first segment.
  3. IFeatureManager::AddVariablePitchHelixSegment one or more times to add the remaining segments.
