Solid Edge Geometry Type Library
GetParamExtents Method
Returns the parameter associated with the start point of the curve.
Returns the parameter associated with the end point of the curve.
Description
Returns the parametric extents of the curve.
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Sub GetParamExtents( _
   ByRef MinParam As Double, _
   ByRef MaxParam As Double _
) 
Parameters
MinParam
Returns the parameter associated with the start point of the curve.
MaxParam
Returns the parameter associated with the end point of the curve.
Remarks
This is the parametric equivalent of the endpoints.
Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeframework.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgePart.PartDocument
    Dim objLoops As Object
    Dim objEdgeUse As solidedgegeometry.EdgeUse
    Dim dblMinimum As Double
    Dim dblMaximum As Double
    Const TESTFILE = "T:\vbtests\testcases\cube.par"
    ' Report errors
    Const PI = 3.14159265358979
    ' Create/get the application with specific settings
    On Error Resume Next
    Set objApp = GetObject(, "SolidEdge.Application")
    If Err Then
        Err.Clear
        Set objApp = CreateObject("SolidEdge.Application")

    Else
        Set objDoc = objApp.ActiveDocument
    End If
    Call objDoc.Close
    ' opening the test case file
    Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Open(TESTFILE)
    ' getting the collection of loops from the body object in the model
    Set objLoops = objDoc.Models(1).Body.Faces(FaceType:=igQueryAll).Item(5).Loops
    ' getting an EdgeUse object for a loop
    Set objEdgeUse = objLoops.Item(1).EdgeUses.Item(2)
    ' getting the extents of the parameters for an EdgeUse object
    Call objEdgeUse.GetParamExtents(MinParam:=dblMinimum, MaxParam:=dblMaximum)
    ' USER DISPLAY
    ' Release objects
    Set objApp = Nothing
    Set objDoc = Nothing
