CATMecModUseItf Interface CATIMf3DAxisSystemManager

Usage: an implementation of this interface is supplied and you must use it as is. You should not reimplement it.

interface CATIMf3DAxisSystemManager

Interface to manage the axis systems.
Role:This interface enables you:

To know all the axis systems created by the interface into 3D Shape. See the method.
To set or retrieve the current axis system. See and respectively.
To translate the coordinates of a point ( ) or a vector ( ) in the current axis system.

This interface is implemented by the specification container of the 3D Shape.

Method Index

o ConvertPointCoordinates(CATBoolean,CATMathPoint&,CATMathPoint&): Converts point coordinates in the current axis system.
o ConvertVectorCoordinates(CATBoolean,CATMathVector&,CATMathVector&): Converts vector coordinates in the current axis system.
o GetAxisSystems(CATLISTV(CATIMf3DAxisSystem_var)&): Retrieves all the axis systems of the 3D Shape.
o GetCurrentAxisSystem(CATIMf3DAxisSystem_var&): Retrieves the current axis system.
o SetCurrentAxisSystem(CATIMf3DAxisSystem_var&): Sets an axis system as the current one.

Methods

o ConvertPointCoordinates

public virtual ConvertPointCoordinates(	const	`iAbsoluteToCurrent`,
	const	`iPointToConvert`,
		`oConvertedPoint`)

Converts point coordinates in the current axis system.

Parameters:

iAbsoluteToCurrent

If TRUE, converts the coordinates from the absolute axis system to the current axis system.
If FALSE, converts the coordinates from the current axis systen to the absolute axis system.

iPointToConvert

The mathematical point to convert.

oConvertedPoint

The converted mathematical point.

o ConvertVectorCoordinates

public virtual ConvertVectorCoordinates(	const	`iAbsoluteToCurrent`,
	const	`iVectorToConvert`,
		`oConvertedVector`)

Converts vector coordinates in the current axis system.

Parameters:

iAbsoluteToCurrent

If TRUE, converts the coordinates from the absolute axis system to the current axis system.
If FALSE, converts the coordinates from the current axis systen to the absolute axis system.

iVectorToConvert

The mathematical vector to convert.

oConvertedVector

The converted mathematical vector.

o GetAxisSystems

public virtual GetAxisSystems( oAxisSystemList)

Retrieves all the axis systems of the 3D Shape.

Parameters:

oAxisSystemList: The axis system list.

o GetCurrentAxisSystem

public virtual GetCurrentAxisSystem( oCurrentAxisSystem)

Retrieves the current axis system.

Parameters:

oCurrentAxisSystem: The current axis system. If the value is NULL_var, there is no current axis system.

o SetCurrentAxisSystem

public virtual SetCurrentAxisSystem( const iAxisSystem)

Sets an axis system as the current one.
Role:This method enables you to set an axis system as current. It guarantees that only one axis system is current in the 3D Shape. Set an axis system the current one can be useful:

To use the and to translate the point/vector coordinates in this axis system.
In an interactive session, to control the current axis system which is used by some commands such as Point. These commands can display points (or vectors ) coordinates in the current axis system.

Parameters:

iAxisSystem: The new current axis system. If the value is NULL_var, there is no current axis system, the coordinates are always displayed in the absolute axis system.

Returns:

E_FAIL if the iAxisSystem is not orthogonal -
