AngularDimension(...)
This method constructs a ConstrainedSketchDimension object between two ConstrainedSketchGeometry objects, with the given angle between them.
Path
mdb.models[name].sketches[name].AngularDimension
Required arguments
- line1
-
A ConstrainedSketchGeometry object specifying the first line.
- line2
-
A ConstrainedSketchGeometry object specifying the second line.
- textPoint
-
A pair of Floats specifying the location of the dimension text.
Optional arguments
- value
-
A Float specifying the angle between the two lines.
- reference
-
A Boolean specifying whether the created dimension enforces the above value or if it simply measures the angle between two lines.
Return value
A ConstrainedSketchDimension object (None if the dimension cannot be created).
Exceptions
None.
HorizontalDimension(...)
This method constructs a ConstrainedSketchDimension object between two vertices. A horizontal dimension indicates the horizontal distance along the X-axis between two vertices.
Path
mdb.models[name].sketches[name].HorizontalDimension
Required arguments
- vertex1
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object specifying the first endpoint.
- vertex2
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object specifying the second endpoint.
- textPoint
-
A pair of Floats specifying the location of the dimension text.
Optional arguments
- value
-
A Float distance between the two vertices.
- reference
-
A Boolean specifying whether the created dimension enforces the above value or if it simply measures the distance between the two vertices.
Return value
A ConstrainedSketchDimension object (None if the dimension cannot be created).
Exceptions
None.
ObliqueDimension(...)
This method constructs a ConstrainedSketchDimension object between two vertices. An oblique dimension indicates the distance between two vertices.
Path
mdb.models[name].sketches[name].ObliqueDimension
Required arguments
- vertex1
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object specifying the first endpoint.
- vertex2
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object specifying the second endpoint.
- textPoint
-
A pair of Floats specifying the location of the dimension text.
Optional arguments
- value
-
A Float specifying the distance between the two ConstrainedSketchVertex objects.
- reference
-
A Boolean specifying whether the created dimension enforces the above value or if it simply measures the distance between the two vertices.
Return value
A ConstrainedSketchDimension object (None if the dimension cannot be created).
Exceptions
None.
RadialDimension(...)
This method constructs a ConstrainedSketchDimension object on a circular or elliptical arc. A radial dimension indicates the radius of an arc or circle or the major or minor radius of an ellipse.
Path
mdb.models[name].sketches[name].RadialDimension
Required arguments
- curve
-
A ConstrainedSketchGeometry object specifying the circular or elliptical arc.
- textPoint
-
A pair of Floats specifying the location of the dimension text.
Optional arguments
- value
-
A Float specifying the radius of the arc, circle or ellipse.
- reference
-
A Boolean specifying whether the created dimension enforces the above value or if it simply measures the angle between two lines.
- majorRadius
-
A Float specifying the major Radius if curve is an ellipse. This is mutually exclusive with value and minorRadius.
- minorRadius
-
A Float specifying the minor Radius if curve is an ellipse. This is mutually exclusive with value and majorRadius.
Return value
A ConstrainedSketchDimension object (None if the dimension cannot be created).
Exceptions
None.
VerticalDimension(...)
This method constructs a ConstrainedSketchDimension between two vertices. A vertical dimension controls the vertical distance along the Y-axis between two vertices.
Path
mdb.models[name].sketches[name].VerticalDimension
Required arguments
- vertex1
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object specifying the first endpoint.
- vertex2
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object specifying the second endpoint.
- textPoint
-
A pair of Floats specifying the location of the dimension text.
Optional arguments
- value
-
A Float specifying the angle between the two lines.
- reference
-
A Boolean specifying whether the created dimension enforces the above value or if it simply measures the angle between two lines.
Return value
A ConstrainedSketchDimension object (None if the dimension cannot be created).
Exceptions
None.
DistanceDimension(...)
This method constructs a ConstrainedSketchDimension object between two ConstrainedSketchGeometry, or aConstrainedSketchVertex and ConstrainedSketchGeometry object. A distance dimension specifies the shortest distance between two entities.
Path
mdb.models[name].sketches[name].DistanceDimension
Required arguments
- entity1
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object or ConstrainedSketchGeometry object.
- entity2
-
A ConstrainedSketchVertex object or ConstrainedSketchGeometry object.
- textPoint
-
A pair of Floats specifying the location of the dimension text.
Optional arguments
- value
-
A Float specifying the angle between the two lines.
- reference
-
A Boolean specifying whether the created dimension enforces the above value or if it simply measures the angle between two lines.
Return value
A ConstrainedSketchDimension object (None if the dimension cannot be created).
Exceptions
None.
