AddByPlaneAndOffset example

Here is an example of creating an offset workplane from a standard workplane, then setting it's name and making it visible in the assembly in which it exists:

       CComPtr<WorkPlanes> pWorkPlanesList;

       hRes = pPartCompDef->get_WorkPlanes(&pWorkPlanesList);

       CComPtr<WorkPlane> pCorpoCollXYWorkPlane;

       GetStdWorkPlaneByIndex(pCorpoCollXYWorkPlane, gikXYPlaneIndex, pPartCompDef);

       CComPtr<WorkPlane> pOffsetWorkPlane;

       const double kcmOffsetIn = 5.50; // 55mm

       hRes = pWorkPlanesList->AddByPlaneAndOffset(pCorpoCollXYWorkPlane,  // "starting" plane

                                                   CComVariant (55.0),     // how much to offset

                                                   VARIANT_FALSE,          // Construction?

                                                   &pOffsetWorkPlane);     // Return value of this call

       if (SUCCEEDED(hRes)) {

           // Set the name so it is easily found by other parts of the program...

           pOffsetWorkPlane->Name = L"TuboIntBase";

           // Export the feature so it is accessible in assemblies...

           pOffsetWorkPlane->Exported = VARIANT_TRUE;

       }
