Document.ConvertModelToSymbolicCurves

Method

Description:
Converts a group of ModelCurves to equivalent SymbolicCurves.

Remarks:
This operation will create new SymbolicCurves with the modelCurves' geometry curves and delete the ModelCurve in the array. If modelCurves are not parallel to the workplane, they will be projected to the workplane and create new SymbolicCurves with the projected curves.

Syntax

public SymbolicCurveArray ConvertModelToSymbolicCurves(
	View view,
	ModelCurveArray modelCurves
)

Public Function ConvertModelToSymbolicCurves ( 
	view As View,
	modelCurves As ModelCurveArray
) As SymbolicCurveArray

public:
SymbolicCurveArray^ ConvertModelToSymbolicCurves(
	View^ view, 
	ModelCurveArray^ modelCurves
)

member ConvertModelToSymbolicCurves : 
        view : View * 
        modelCurves : ModelCurveArray -> SymbolicCurveArray

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
view	View	The view where the new lines will be created. The lines are projected on the view workplane. The view workplane must be parallel to the view plane. If the lines are not parallel to the view plane, lines are foreshortened and arcs are converted to ellipses. Splines are modified.
modelCurves	ModelCurveArray	The model curve array to be converted.

Return Value

SymbolicCurveArray

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when the input argument is.
ArgumentException	Thrown when view is invalid to create SymbolicCurves on it.
InvalidOperationException	Thrown when current document is a family. Thrown when one or more curves could not be successfully converted, perhaps because some of the input curves could not be projected onto the active workplane of the view.
