AddAngularByAngle Method

Description

Creates a reference plane at an angle to an existing reference plane or face and through an edge or an intersection of two faces.

igTangentToSurfaceAtKeypoint

A member of the ReferenceElementConstants constant set that defines the origin of the reference plane to be created.

NormalSide

A member of the ReferenceElementConstants constant set that defines the normal side of the new reference plane with respect to the existing ParentPlane.

Local

This argument is not implemented.

Remarks

This method creates a reference plane at an angle to an existing reference plane or face and through an edge or the intersection of two faces. The method is the equivalent of the Angled Plane and Perpendicular Plane reference plane commands in Solid Edge. A perpendicular plane is a special case of the angled plane where the angle is 90 degrees. If NormalSide is igReverseNormalSide, then the distance is taken to be negative of the given value. If Distance is negative, NormalSide is ignored.
