AlignActiveCustomCoordinateSystemXYPlane Method (ICustomCoordinateSystemManager)

Aligns the active coordinate system's xy plane in the specified direction with the specified origin.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Sub AlignActiveCustomCoordinateSystemXYPlane( _
   dsMathPoint* Origin As MathPoint, _
   dsMathPoint* XAxisThroughPoint As MathPoint, _
   dsMathPoint* XYPlaneThroughPoint As MathPoint _
) 
C# 
void AlignActiveCustomCoordinateSystemXYPlane( 
   MathPoint Origin,
   MathPoint XAxisThroughPoint,
   MathPoint XYPlaneThroughPoint
)
JavaScript 
AlignActiveCustomCoordinateSystemXYPlane( 
   Origin : dsMathPoint,
   XAxisThroughPoint : dsMathPoint,
   XYPlaneThroughPoint : dsMathPoint
)
COM native C++ 
HRESULT AlignActiveCustomCoordinateSystemXYPlane( 
   IMathPoint* Origin,
   IMathPoint* XAxisThroughPoint,
   IMathPoint* XYPlaneThroughPoint
) 
C++ 
DSRESULT AlignActiveCustomCoordinateSystemXYPlane( 
   dsMathPoint* Origin,
   dsMathPoint* XAxisThroughPoint,
   dsMathPoint* XYPlaneThroughPoint
) 

Parameters

Origin
Custom coordinate system's origin
XAxisThroughPoint
Direction point for the x axis of the coordinate system (see Remarks)
XYPlaneThroughPoint
Point to describe the xy plane of the coordinate system (see Remarks)

Remarks

The point specified for XYPlaneThroughPoint specifies which plane the y axis is in and the direction of the y axis orthogonal to XAxisThroughPoint, resulting in a vector that is orthogonal to the x and y axes.

There are two possible orthogonal vectors for the z axis, depending on the direction of the y axis. Both vectors have the same XAxisThroughPoint; however, both the y and z axis are in different directions, depending on XYPlaneThroughPoint.
