CATIA script (macro) Weld Symbol - flip and associate to element.

CATIA script (macro) Weld Symbol - flip and associate to element.

CATIA script (macro) Weld Symbol - flip and associate to element.

(OP)
Hy all,

I. WeldingSimbols

Does anyone knows how is the syntax for flipping a WeldSymbol (in Drafting). What about making it stick to a specified element.

I had some drawingTexts and use for them the next syntax : myText.Angle = 90 both work for Texts.
myText.AssociativeElement = source_element

Now i tried both ways on my weld symbol but it doesn't work.Does anyone know how can i do this ? (as long as i can flip them manually by entering objects properties and also manually positional link to another element i think this can be done by scripting)


II. CATIA CATALOG.

Another thing that i have to do is to insert a specific symbol from Catia Catalog Browser next to the source text. So second question is: Can i automatically insert a symbol from Catia Catalog by script ?

I have uploaded an image made in paint describing what i need.

Thank you all.
Have a good day.
