GetInsertionPoint {Line Element}

GetInsertionPoint

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.LineElm.GetInsertionPoint

VB6 Procedure

Function GetInsertionPoint(ByVal Name As String, ByRef Offset1() As Double, ByRef Offset2() As Double) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing line element.

Offset1

This is an array of three joint offset distances, in the Global coordinate system, at the I-End of the line element. [L]

Offset1(0) = I-End offset in the global X-axis direction

Offset1(1) = I-End offset in the global Y-axis direction

Offset1(2) = I-End offset in the global Z-axis direction

Offset2

This is an array of three joint offset distances, in the Global coordinate system, at the J-End of the line element. [L]

Offset2(0) = J-End offset in the global X-axis direction

Offset2(1) = J-End offset in the global Y-axis direction

Offset2(2) = J-End offset in the global Z-axis direction

Remarks

This function retrieves line element insertion point assignments. The assignments are reported as end joint offsets.

The function returns zero if the insertion point data is successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
