ItemFactoryBase.NewReferencePlane

Method

Description:
Creates a new instance of ReferencePlane.

Remarks:
The specific view is applied to the Reference plane only for certain view types: Legend DraftingView DrawingSheet

Syntax

public ReferencePlane NewReferencePlane(
	XYZ bubbleEnd,
	XYZ freeEnd,
	XYZ cutVec,
	View pView
)

Public Function NewReferencePlane ( 
	bubbleEnd As XYZ,
	freeEnd As XYZ,
	cutVec As XYZ,
	pView As View
) As ReferencePlane

public:
ReferencePlane^ NewReferencePlane(
	XYZ^ bubbleEnd, 
	XYZ^ freeEnd, 
	XYZ^ cutVec, 
	View^ pView
)

member NewReferencePlane : 
        bubbleEnd : XYZ * 
        freeEnd : XYZ * 
        cutVec : XYZ * 
        pView : View -> ReferencePlane

Examples

// Define data for reference plane creation
XYZ bubbleEnd = new XYZ(1, 0, 0);   // bubble end applied to reference plane
XYZ freeEnd = new XYZ(-5, 0, 0);    // free end applied to reference plane
// Cut vector should be perpendicular to bubbleEnd-freeEnd vector
XYZ cutVec = new XYZ(0, 0, 1);  // cut vector applied to reference plane

// Create the reference plane, applying the active view
ReferencePlane refPlane = document.Create.NewReferencePlane(bubbleEnd, freeEnd, cutVec, document.ActiveView);

' Define data for reference plane creation
Dim bubbleEnd As New XYZ(1, 0, 0)
' bubble end applied to reference plane
Dim freeEnd As New XYZ(-5, 0, 0)
' free end applied to reference plane
' Cut vector should be perpendicular to bubbleEnd-freeEnd vector
Dim cutVec As New XYZ(0, 0, 1)
' cut vector applied to reference plane
' Create the reference plane, applying the active view
Dim refPlane As ReferencePlane = document.Create.NewReferencePlane(bubbleEnd, freeEnd, cutVec, document.ActiveView)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
bubbleEnd	XYZ	The bubble end applied to reference plane.
freeEnd	XYZ	The free end applied to reference plane.
cutVec	XYZ	The cut vector apply to reference plane, should perpendicular to the vector (bubbleEnd-freeEnd).
pView	View	The specific view apply to the Reference plane.

Return Value

Type	Description
ReferencePlane	The newly created reference plane.
