Solid Edge Part Type Library
AddByCenter Method
Solid Edge Part Type Library > BoxFeatures Collection : AddByCenter Method
X-Coordinate of the center point of the rectangle.
Y-Coordinate of the center point of the rectangle.
Z-Coordinate of the center point of the rectangle.
Width of the rectangle.
Height of the rectangle.
Rotation angle of the rectangle.
Depth of the box feature.
Reference plane object on which the rectangle will be constructed.
Specifies the direction in which material needs to be added.
Specifies whether to use key point of an object or not.
Key point object for the extent (will be used only if vbKeyPointExtent is VARIANT_TRUE)
Helps find tangent key point on cylinders, spheres and cones. This will be used only when vbKeyPointExtent  is VARIANT_TRUE and pKeyPointObj  is passed in.
Description
Add a box by specifying the center point, width, height, angle, depth and plane for the underlying rectangular profile.
