Properties


o Property InitialDirectionComputationMode() As long
Gets or sets the computation mode of the X axis (or direction) of the initial axis system.
Parameters:
oDirCompMode
computation mode = 0 : no X axis specified = 1 : the X axis is implicitly the tangent of the profile at the origin(the origin then HAS to be on the profile). = 2 : the X axis is specified by a direction by SetPositionDirection(1,UserInputDirection).
o Property Mode() As long
Returns or sets the positioning mode.
Legal values:
CATGSMPositionMode_NoneOrPositioned
No positioning
CATGSMPositionMode_ExplicitSweep
The explicit profile is to be moved from its initial plane to the first sweep plane
CATGSMPositionMode_Develop
=== DO NOT USE IN THIS VERSION === planar wire is to be positioned in its initial plane; target origin corresponds to the zero-deformation point on the support surface (target axes are defined by the parameterization of the support surface)
o Property Profile() As Reference
Returns or sets the profile to be positioned.
