UseGaugeTable Property (ISketchedBendFeatureData)

Gets or sets whether to use available bend radius values from a gauge table for this sketched bend.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Property UseGaugeTable As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISketchedBendFeatureData
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
instance.UseGaugeTable = value
 
value = instance.UseGaugeTable
C# 
System.bool UseGaugeTable {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
property System.bool UseGaugeTable {
   System.bool get();
   void set ( &   System.bool value);
}

Property Value

True to use available bend radius values from a gauge table, false to not

Example

'VBA
'==========================================================================
'This example demonstrates how to set the bend radius of a sketched bend
'by setting UseGaugeTable to false.
'
'Preconditions:
'1. Ensure the specified paths exist.
'2. Open an Immediate window.
'
'Postconditions:
'1. A part with Sheet-Metal, Base-Flange1, and Sketched Bend1 features is created.
'2. Inspect the Immediate window.
