Hi,

I am not able to record a macro for Variable Offset creation. Please let me know of any method to automate this process of creating Variable offsets.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

It is also possible on CXR18 level to do it directly in Knowledge Language.

Please clarify whether u need special licences to do variable offset.

There is no variable offset creation button in my catia, but i copy already created VO from other models and i am able to edit them.

If anyone can help me with a code to automate variable offset creation, it would be helpful

BJose,

You need the GSO license to create a variable offset.

As for automating this, I don't have working VB code handy to share, but you need to use the object browser in VBA to understand what is available. It is definitely possible.

It will be something like this...(I am just writing this off the cuff)

Set objRef = objPart.CreateReferenceFromObject( global surface to offset like a join )
Set objVarOffset = HybridShapeFactory.AddNewVariableOffset (objRef)
Set objSubRef1 = objPart.CreateReferenceFromObject( sub surface )
objVarOffset.AddNewConstantConstraint objSubRef1, some length
objPart.HybridBodies.Item(1).AppendHybridShape objVarOffset

See this post too...

Thx Mike,

But dont have GSO licence........

But i am able to copy a variable offset(from other models) to the part and edit its properties on double clicking it. ( in MD2 and HD2). That is how i am creating variable offsets while manual modeling.

Is there any way to replicate this through code?
