Moving a sketch circle tangent too two projected arcs

rusty.bird — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 14:45:45 GMT

I made a script to move a sketched circle tangent between two projected arcs but it is not moving when I run it. Can anybody help me figure out why its not working properly? I have attached some pictures and the file aswell.

Here is my script:

// Prompt the user to select a plane. Ptr<Selection> selection1 = ui->selectEntity("Select a Face On the Rolls", "Faces"); Ptr<BRepFace> plane1 = selection1->entity(); // Get the selected face and create a sketch on it Ptr<Sketches> skt = rootComp->sketches(); Ptr<Sketch> skt1 = skt->addWithoutEdges(plane1); Ptr<SketchCurves> curves = skt1->sketchCurves(); Ptr<SketchCircles> circles = curves->sketchCircles(); // Create a circle with a diameter Ptr<SketchCircle> circle1 = circles->addByCenterRadius(Point3D::create(0, -30, 0), 20); if (!circle1) return false; Ptr<SketchDimensions> dims = skt1->sketchDimensions(); // Add the dimension to the circle Ptr<SketchDimension> dim1 = dims->addDiameterDimension(circle1, adsk::core::Point3D::create(0, 0, 0)); if (!dim1) return false; // Prompt the user to select a bRepEdge. Ptr<Selection> selection2 = ui->selectEntity("Select The Round Edge On A Roll", "Edges"); Ptr<BRepEdge> edge1 = selection2->entity(); Ptr<SketchCurve> proj1; proj1 = skt1->project(edge1); // Prompt the user to select another bRepEdge. Ptr<Selection> selection3 = ui->selectEntity("Select The Other Round Edge On A Roll", "Edges"); Ptr<BRepEdge> edge2 = selection3->entity(); Ptr<SketchCurve> proj2; proj2 = skt1->project(edge2); Ptr<GeometricConstraints> constraints = skt1->geometricConstraints(); Ptr<GeometricConstraint> tanCon1 = constraints->addTangent(circle1, proj1); if (!tanCon1) return false; Ptr<GeometricConstraint> tanCon2 = constraints->addTangent(circle1, proj2); if (!tanCon2) return false;

Hi,

Your problem is with variables proj1 and proj2.

This sentence:

proj1 = skt1->project(edge1);

returns an ObjectCollection and you are expecting a SketchCurve as the proj1 variable was declared.

You need to change this sentence by:

proj1 = skt1->project(edge1)->item(0);

The same fix need to be made for proj2.

It solved the problem in my tests.
