Hi efirvida,

May be this is what you are after.

Code:
ag.gui.CreatePattern();
Cheers

You may activate pattern type first and then pick circular, something like this:
Code:
var Pat = ag.gui.CreatePattern();
Pat.Operation = 2;
Make sure you do named selection of body you want to pattern as say "geom1" and also Named select the 3D edge you want to use as direction as say "edge1"

add this code after the above code:
Code:
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Geometry");
agb.AddSelect(agc.TypeBody, geom1);
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("Direction");
agb.AddSelect(agc.TypeEdge3d, edge1);
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";
Hope it helps,

Cheers

Hi Kapi thank for your interest in help me, I have probles with the selection of the geometry and the axis, i donīt know how to create a named selection when I create the pattern manually y use the XYplane on the axis selection but here did'nt work, here is my full code
thanks again

Code:
function planeSketchesOnly (p)
{

//Plane
p.Plane  = agb.GetActivePlane();
p.Origin = p.Plane.GetOrigin();
p.XAxis  = p.Plane.GetXAxis();
p.YAxis  = p.Plane.GetYAxis();

//Sketch
p.Sk1 = p.Plane.NewSketch();
p.Sk1.Name = "Gear";

//Edges
with (p.Sk1)
{
  p.Sp1 = SplineBegin();
  with(p.Sp1)
  {
    SplineFlexibility = agc.Yes;

HI efirvida,

Since you have 1 body, you dont have to named select it.
Just pick it by the below code and then "Apply"

Code:
ag.bodyPick;
ag.gui.SelectAll(); 
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";
Regarding Axis: "TypePlane" is not a entity to select planes. There are other options to select plane. Debug it and click on "agc." and you shall see option starting plane.

May I add that you need to regenerate before starting pattern command.
Code:
agb.Regen();

Hope it helps

Cheers

Hi Kapi thank for your help finally I did it, follow your instructions combined with the trial and error method , Now I know how the API more or less

Code:
var PF1 = ag.gui.CreateSpot();
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Type");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Construction Point";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Definition");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Manual Input";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD8, X Coordinate");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "0";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD9, Y Coordinate");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "0";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD10, Z Coordinate");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "0";
agb.Regen();

var PF2 = ag.gui.CreateSpot();
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Type");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Construction Point";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Definition");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Manual Input";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD8, X Coordinate");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "0";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD9, Y Coordinate");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "0";
ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD10, Z Coordinate");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "34.0";
agb.Regen();

var LF1 = agb.LinePt();
LF1.AddSegment(PF1.GetPoint(1, 0),PF2.GetPoint(1, 0), 0);
agb.Regen();

var Pat = ag.gui.CreatePattern();
ag.listview.ActivateItem("Pattern Type");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Circular";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("Geometry");
ag.bodyPick;
ag.gui.SelectAll();
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("Axis");
ag.edgePick;
ag.gui.SelectAll();
ag.listview.ItemValue = "Apply";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD2, Angle");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "16.3636363636";

ag.listview.ActivateItem("FD3, Copies (>0)");
ag.listview.ItemValue = "21.0";
agb.Regen();

Now I have 2 questions,
first how to create and select features when I have more than one, I'm going to need this soon, to include the other gear, if you have some example wold be helpfully to me
secondly in your previous answer you mention somethig about debug my script, how can I do that I would be very useful for me, I didn't know it was possible debug ansys scripts

many thanks again

Hi efirvida,

I dont understand what you mean by
Quote:
first how to create and select features when I have more than one,
bit more information is needed!

in your script add a line "Debugger" at the start or in between, it will debug your code and you can see values of variables and other things.
You need to have Visual Studio for that!

Cheers
