Return Value

This method invokes the Slicing tool. For more information, refer to SOLIDWORKS Help > Parts and Features > Controlling Parts > Slicing Tool.

Before calling this method:

1. Pre-select in the graphics area a planar entity (to create a linear pattern of slices) or a combination of a linear entity and a point entity (to create an angular pattern of slices whose axis is the linear entity).
2. Use IFeatureManager::GetSlicingData to get an ISlicingData object.
3. Set ISlicingData::PlaneReferences if step 1 is not performed. Specify a planar entity or a combination of a linear entity and a point entity as specified in step 1.
4. Set other ISlicingData properties.
5. Populate SlicingData with the ISlicingData object.

After calling this method:

• Use the array of sketch and reference plane objects returned by this method to perform further work.
• If ISlicingData::AddSlicingPlanesAndSketchesToFolder was set to true, then a Slice1 folder in the FeatureManager design tree is created containing the slicing planes and sketches. You can edit the slicing planes and sketches individually as needed.
• Delete the Slice1 folder and its contents to remove slicing from the model.
