Role: This interface is used to interact with devices that are available in the Device Building workbench. This includes devices created in both V5 and D5.
The following code snippet can be used to obtain a device in a CATProduct document. 
   Dim objDevice As BasicDevice
   set objDevice = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Product.GetTechnologicalObject("BasicDevice")

Method Index

GetDOFValues
Get the DOF values for the device.
GetHomePositions
Get list of home positions of the device.
SetHomePosition
Set home position of the device.

Methods


o Sub GetDOFValues( oValues)
