Drawing close circles with API

Drawing close circles with API

Drawing close circles with API

(OP)
Hello,
  I´m using this function to draw circles in a sketch, but if the circles are very close each other, Solidworks only draw one circle.
  Is there a way to change the precision to draw with the API, or other function more precise?

Set Sketch = pieza.ICreateCircleByRadius2(Xcir, Ycir, ZCir, Rcir)

Thank you

RE: Drawing close circles with API

Look into ModelDoc.SetAddToDB. This will add the data directly to the DB while preventing the autosnap of your entities

Dim swDoc As ModelDoc2
    
swDoc.SetAddToDB True
    
'Create Your Circles Here
    
swDoc.SetAddToDB False

Hope this helps...
