Re: Generate a circle in 3D


Hers's a thought,

why not create a plane based on the points on the circle then create your
sketch of the circle on that plane.

But then I know nothing about VB so it may not be possible.

I am working in SW08 with the VB macro code, but I require the ability
to draw a set of sketches of circles in 3D.

I can currently achieve this in the XY XZ and YZ planes, but when the
circle sketch is not aligned in any plane I can not achieve the
desired outcome.

I was working with someone else who suggested the use of
Sketch::ModelToSketchTransform and MathPoint::MultiplyTransform, but I
am unable to find any example VB code that will do so.

If possible I want to only specify the circles centre and one (or two)
points in space which sit on the circles radius.


Thanks
