SapObject.SapModel.SolidObj.SetLocalAxes
Function SetLocalAxes(ByVal Name As String, ByVal a As Double, ByVal b As Double, ByVal c As Double, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long
Name
The name of an existing solid object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.
a, b, c
The local axes of the solid object are defined by first setting the positive local 1, 2 and 3 axes the same as the positive global X, Y and Z axes and then doing the following: [deg]
1. Rotate about the 3 axis by angle a.
2. Rotate about the resulting 2 axis by angle b.
3. Rotate about the resulting 1 axis by angle c.
ItemType
This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:
Object = 0
Group = 1
SelectedObjects = 2
If this item is Object, the local axes assignment is made to the solid object specified by the Name item.
If this item is Group, the local axes assignment is made to all solid objects in the group specified by the Name item.
If this item is SelectedObjects, the local axes assignment is made to all selected solid objects, and the Name item is ignored.
This function sets the local axes angles for solid objects.
The function returns zero if the local axes angles are successfully set; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
