Good Afternoon All,
First time poster here. I am trying to speed up a task that is repeated multiple times a day by using VBS. I've had some luck picking apart the examples and using what I need for some but am not finding much for Creating Ruled/Lofted Surfaces and Creating Curve at Intersection.
So my usual routine is...
1) Create 8 Levels
2) Import Parasolid
3) Save as a MasterCam File
4) Rotate the View
5) Change the WCS
6) Draw a couple lines
7) Create a Ruled/Lofted Surface Between the Lines
8) Create a Curve at the intersection of the Lofted Surface from the model
9) Delete everything but the New Curve
I have 1-6 knocked out but cannot seem to find much on 7-9. Can anyone help me with the last few steps? Or maybe point me in the direction of some more examples I can pick apart?
Thanks!
James
Here is what I have for step 6 that I'd like to make a surface between...
Sub CreateOutline() '//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 'Create Upper/Lower Lines For Slicing '//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Dim CLine Dim intRet Set CLine = New McLn With CLine .X1 = 10 .Y1 = -40 .Z1 = 0 .X2 = 10 .Y2 = 40 .Z2 = 0 intRet = CreateLine(CLine, mcCONSTRUCTION_COLOR_CURRENT, 1) .X1 = -15 .Y1 = -40 .Z1 = 0 .X2 = -15 .Y2 = 40 .Z2 = 0 intRet = CreateLine(CLine, mcCONSTRUCTION_COLOR_CURRENT, 1) End With Set CLine = Nothing Call RepaintScreen(True)End Sub
