Setting line thickness within a macro

Setting line thickness within a macro

Setting line thickness within a macro

(OP)
Hello all,

I have a macro that creates simple geometry in a drawing, but the generated line thickness is too large.
Does anyone know how I can set the line thickness within a macro.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Setting line thickness within a macro

Hi,

From the Online doc (VisPropertySet).

Sub SetRealWidth(long iLineWidth,long iInheritance)

    Sets the real line width and the line width inheritance flag for the current selection.

    Parameters:

        iLineWidth
            The value ranges from 1 to 63. Each indice is a thickness customizable in the page Tools/Options/General/Display/thickness.
        iInheritance
            Legal value:

            0  No heritance
            1  Heritance

    Example:
        The following sample shows how to change line width of current selection.

 Set visProperties1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection.VisProperties
 visProperties1.SetRealWidth 4,1
