A question adding circle by 2 points

[StephenCim-001]

Hi All

The have the following snip of code.

entities = []
entities.append(circle1)
#create intercest points
intersectShank = sketchshank.intersectWithSketchPlane(entities)
circlesshank = sketchshank.sketchCurves.sketchCircles
-------------------

now if I add a circle by centre radius using one of the intersect points. that works fine.

shank = circlesshank.addByCenterRadius(intersectShank[1], 0.1 )

Now if I add a circle by 2 points   like this that works

shank = circlesshank.addByTwoPoints(adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 0, 0), adsk.core.Point3D.create(0.1, 0, 0) )

But if I use 1 of the intersect points in the by two point I get an error
shank = circlesshank.addByTwoPoints(intersectShank[1], adsk.core.Point3D.create(0.1, 0, 0) )

Complaining that I need 2 arguments of type error

Why is the intersect point now a valid point when used in the addByTwoPoints method?

Cheers, Stephen

According to the Reference Manual the two methods allow different parameters.

addByTwoPoints method

addByCenterRadius method

This mean that the points from by an intersect a 'sketchPoint' and not a point3D.

OK, I guess that makes sense   , I haven't done any sort of coding in 30 years ... I guess it shows 🙂
