v1.5

modeling drawing

Adds an edge between an existing point and a "virtual" point somewhere on an edge. This command can only be called after the SplitEdge command.

Note: This command uses output arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript, PerlScript and Python) don't support arguments passed by reference. Normally you can get the output arguments via either XSIApplication.ExecuteCommand method (C#) or the ISIVTCollection (scripting languages), but this command already returns a value.

The only available workaround in this case is to create a VBScript custom command which returns both the output arguments and the return value in one array. For details, see What Happens when the Function Already Returns a Value?.

oLong = AddEdge( [ConnectionSet], [Ratio], [ImmediateMode], [NewPointID], [NewEdgeID] );

Returns the ID of the new point created by the operation as a Long (or existing point if ratio=0 or 100)

Parameter	Type	Description
ConnectionSet	ConnectionSet	Specifies the point and the edge (two elements, in that order) to connect. Default Value: Currently selected components are used. Warning: An error occurs if the connection set is invalid. Please verify the connection set required for this operator to avoid breaking your scripts.
Ratio	Double	ratio where to split the input edge Possible Values: Description: 0 The new edge will be connected to the start point of the input edge 0 The input edge will be split using this ratio before adding the new edge 100 The new edge will be connected to the end point of the input edge
ImmediateMode	siOperationMode	Specifies whether or not the operator should be immediately frozen. Default Value: siPersistentOperation
NewPointID	Integer	ID of the new point created by the operation (or existing point if ratio=0 or 100)
NewEdgeID	Integer	ID of the new edge created by the operation
