ModifyInstance Method (ILocalCircularPatternFeatureData)

Modifies the specified pattern instance with the specified angle in this circular component pattern feature.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function ModifyInstance( _
   ByVal Instance As System.Integer, _
   ByVal AngleFromSeed As System.Double, _
   ByVal IsOffsetFromNominal As System.Boolean _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ILocalCircularPatternFeatureData
Dim Instance As System.Integer
Dim AngleFromSeed As System.Double
Dim IsOffsetFromNominal As System.Boolean
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.ModifyInstance(Instance, AngleFromSeed, IsOffsetFromNominal)
C# 
System.bool ModifyInstance( 
   System.int Instance,
   System.double AngleFromSeed,
   System.bool IsOffsetFromNominal
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool ModifyInstance( 
&   System.int Instance,
&   System.double AngleFromSeed,
&   System.bool IsOffsetFromNominal
) 

Parameters

Instance
Pattern instance number (see Remarks)
AngleFromSeed
Angle from the pattern seed
IsOffsetFromNominal
True if AngleFromSeed is the offset from the nominal position of Instance, false if not

Return Value

True if the pattern instance is modified successfully, false if not

Remarks

To calculate Instance:

Calculate:

      For a bi-directional pattern:

           I = n2 * (i - 1) + (j - 1)

      For a uni-directional pattern:

           I = i - 1

      where:

  • I = pattern instance number
  • n2 = number of instances in Direction 2
  • i = index for Direction 1
  • j = index for Direction 2

In the pattern's PropertyManager, find n2 in the Direction 2 > Spacing and Instances > Number of instances field and find [i,j] in the Modified Instances section.
