GetDrillingsFromDrillingPattern Method

In This Topic

Returns drilling objects which are generated based on drilling pattern assigned to 3d placement part.

Syntax

C#
C++/CLI

public Drilling[] GetDrillingsFromDrillingPattern( 
   Placement3D pPlacement
)

public:
array<Drilling^>^ GetDrillingsFromDrillingPattern( 
   Placement3D^ pPlacement
)

Parameters

pPlacement: 3D placement for which drilling objects will be generated. Can't be null.

Return Value

Array of generated drilling objects or empty array.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Thrown when parameter is `null`.
System.ArgumentException	Thrown when parameter is `invalid`.
System.ApplicationException	The functionality is not available.

Remarks

Method generates transient drilling objects. Number, type and location of drillings depends on two things. First is the drilling pattern assigned to part of 3D placement. Other are location on parent. In places where placement doesn't have contact with parent drills are not created.

Example

Example below prints out to consol basic information about drillings from drilling pattern:

//find duct object in project
DMObjectsFinder oFinder = new DMObjectsFinder(oProject);
Duct oDuct = oFinder.GetFunctions3D(null).OfType<Duct>().First();

//get all drilling objects from duct
Drilling[] arrDrillings = new Placement3DService().GetDrillingsFromDrillingPattern(oDuct);

foreach (Drilling oDrilling in arrDrillings)
{
    Console.WriteLine("------- Drilling -------");

    //write the relative position on parent
    Console.WriteLine(
        String.Format(
            "Relative position: ({0}, {1}, {2})",
            oDrilling.RelativeTransformation.OffsetX,
            oDrilling.RelativeTransformation.OffsetY,
            oDrilling.RelativeTransformation.OffsetZ));

    //write the type of drilling
    Console.WriteLine(
        String.Format(
            "Type of drilling: {0}",
            oDrilling.FunctionDefinition.Id));
}
