geometry create feature hole
Allows you to create a hole feature.
Format:
geometry create feature hole |
|---|
hole_name = | a new hole |
subid = | integer |
center = | location |
countersink = | boolean |
radius = | length |
depth = | length |
Example:
geometry create feature hole & |
|---|
hole_name = | hole__1 & |
subid = | 12 & |
center = | 10 , 2 , 1 & |
countersink = | yes & |
radius = | 3 & |
depth = | 4 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
hole_name | A New Hole | Specifies the name of the hole to be created |
subid | Integer | Specifies the Parasolid tag identifying the face on which the hole or boss will be created. |
center | Location | Specifies the location of the center of the hole or boss on the object. |
countersink | Boolean | Specifies whether to create a hole or a boss: |
radius | Length | Specifies radius of the hole or boss. |
depth | Length | Specifies depth of the hole or the height of the boss. |
Extended Definition:
1. You can use the name specified by the hole_name parameter, later to refer to this entity. Adams View does not allow you to have two entities with the same name, so you must provide a unique name. Normally, entity names are composed of alphabetic, numeric, or '_' (underscore) characters, and start with an alphabetic or '_' character. They may be of any length. For more information, see
Using Extended Names.
By enclosing the name in double quotes, you can use other printable characters, or start the name with a numeral. If a name contains characters, or starts with a numeral, you must always quote the name when entering it.
Note that you can specify the parentage of an entity (for example, what part "owns" a marker or a geometry element) when you create it by changing the name. If you enter just the entity name, then Adams View assigns the default parent. If you type in the full name, then you can override the default parent. In most cases, when creating an entity, Adams View provides a default name. The default name that Adams View provides specifies the parentage that it has assumed. You can, of course, delete this name and use your own. The form of a full name is:
"...._NAME.GRAND_PARENT_NAME.PARENT_NAME.ENTITY_NAME"
The number of levels used varies from case to case and the parentage must exist before an entity can be assigned to it.
2. The countersink parameter specifies whether to create a hole or a boss:
■yes - Creates a boss.
■no - Creates a hole.
Cautions:
1. You cannot specify the radius and depth of a hole so that it splits the current geometry into two separate geometries.
