CreateSketch(name, attachmentPlane, referenceAxis, referenceDirection, referenceAxisOrientation, referenceAxisSense, normalOrientation)CreateSketch(name, attachmentPlane, referenceAxis, referenceDirection, referenceAxisOrientation, referenceAxisSense, normalOrientation, view)
-------------------------------------Creates a sketch
Signature
CreateSketch(name, attachmentPlane, referenceAxis, referenceDirection, referenceAxisOrientation, referenceAxisSense, normalOrientation)Parameters: - name (str) – Name of the sketch. The name will be converted to upper case. If this is an empty string or None, a name will be provided by the system.
- attachmentPlane (
NXOpen.ISurface) – A face or datum plane that the sketch will be attached to. Must be planar. - referenceAxis (
NXOpen.IReferenceAxis) – Can be a datum axis, edge, datum plane, face, or NXOpen.IReferenceAxis.NULL. If it is an edge, the edge must be a line segment. If it is a face, the face must be a plane. If NXOpen.IReferenceAxis.NULL, the reference_direction is used instead - referenceDirection (
NXOpen.Vector3d) – If reference_axis is None, this parameter sets the reference direction of the sketch. In this case, this parameter must not be (0,0,0). If reference_axis is not None and this parameter is not (0,0,0), this parameter determines whether the reference direction should be in the same direction as reference_axis or in the opposite direction. If this parameter is (0,0,0), this parameter is not used. - referenceAxisOrientation (
NXOpen.AxisOrientation) – indicates whether the reference axis is horizontal or vertical - referenceAxisSense (
NXOpen.Sense) – Ignored unless reference_direction is (0,0,0) and reference_axis is an edge or datum axis. This parameter indicates whether the reference axis should be in the same direction as reference_axis or in the opposite direction - normalOrientation (
NXOpen.PlaneNormalOrientation) – whether the sketch’s Z-axis should be outward or inward
Returns: the new sketch
Return type: New in version NX3.0.0.
