I quote here a post with an unsolved question, at least for me.
thread560-460083: Changing a Raster Drawing to "Shading with Edges"

Does anyone knows how to change the raster mode option to "shading" programmatically?

Thanks,
Al.

Hi AlvaroPers.

Try this.

CODE --> vba

'vba

Option Explicit

Sub CATMain()

    Dim drawDoc As DrawingDocument
    Set drawDoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
    
    Dim targetView As DrawingView
    Set targetView = drawDoc.sheets.ActiveSheet.views.ActiveView
    
    Dim behavior As DrawingViewGenerativeBehavior
    Set behavior = targetView.GenerativeBehavior
    
    behavior.ImageViewMode = CatImageViewMode.catImageModeShadingWithEdges
    
    behavior.Update

End Sub

Hello kantoku,
Thank you for replying,

The only options the generative object offers to me for ImageViewMode are: "catImageModeHRD" and "catImageModeOff"

There is no "catImageModeShadingWithEdges"

Did the code work for you?

Please, let me know,
Thank you

AlvaroPers.

In my environment it shows 6.
Is it a licensing issue? I am using HD2.

Interesting that I just have 3 constants, and you have 6.
I have HD2.
I'm using Visual Basic under Visual Studio 2022. See the attachment.
The namespace is DRAFTINGITF, so it's the same as yours.
I don't know why I don't have the others constantans.
I'm gonna make a try using a different environment and see what happens.

kantoku, What CATIA release are you using?

kantoku (Mechanical) · Answer 6 · 2023-04-26 23:38:08

I am using R2018.
I checked to see if there were any R2015s left and there were only two.
