Finding components of constraint in Catia via macro

Question

does anyone know hot to get information via Catia macros about component (planes, faces, axis etc.) used in making constraint?

Answer 1

the CHM file shows:

Func GetConstraintElement( long  iElementNumber) As CATIAReference  

Reads an element of a constraint. Parameters:

iElementNumber

The number of the element of the constraint to be read. (1 for the first element,2 for the second, 3 for the third). Notice it must not exceed the total number of elements of the constraint. (eg : not allowed to read the third element of a tangency).

oCurrentElement 

An element of the constraint.

Example: The following example reads the first element of a constraint Dim reference1 As Reference reference1=tangencyCst.GetConstraintElement( 1 )

AND

Sub SetConstraintElement( long  iElementNumber, CATIAReference  iNewElement) 

Replaces an element of a constraint. Parameters:

iElementNumber 

The number of the element of the constraint to replace. (1 for the first element,2 for the second, 3 for the third).

iNewElement 

A new element of the constraint.

Example: The following example changes the second element of a constraint

Dim reference1 As Reference
tangencyCst.SetConstraintElement ( 2, reference1)
