SetCenter Method

Description

Specifies a new location for a CenterMark or DatumPoint object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub SetCenter( _ ByVal CenterObj As Object, _ ByVal x As Double, _ ByVal y As Double, _ ByVal z As Double, _ ByVal keyPoint As Boolean _ )

Parameters

CenterObj: The non-linear object to which the center mark associates.
x: Specifies the coordinates of the locate point of the CenterObj. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
y: Specifies the coordinates of the locate point of the CenterObj. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
z: Specifies the coordinates of the locate point of the CenterObj. This point is used as a proximity point while calculating the key point.
keyPoint: Specifies whether the CenterObj or a key point of the object is to be used. If True, the object is selected; if False, the nearest key point is selected.

Remarks

This new location can be an object or a key point on that object. If the object is placed with respect to a key point, the point of reference is the key point.
