Activating 3D points in CATIA Drawing Document

[sriharsha1994]

Hello Everyone,
I have a CATIA drawing document having front,back and side views.In my 3D part,I also have some 3D points.When we open Drawing document,by default these 3D Points are not visible.We need to select front view properties and tick the “3D points section”..How can we do this using VB code?..I did nt find any appropiate API for this.I am also attaching a picture below for your reference

Please help me

Hi Jenial,

I could not find it by recording Macro but I have found the API itself

drawingViewGenerativeBehavior3.PointsProjectionMode = CatPointsProjectionMode.catPointsProjectionModeOn

Sub CATMain()

Dim drawingDocument1 As DrawingDocument
Set drawingDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Dim drawingSheets1 As DrawingSheets
Set drawingSheets1 = drawingDocument1.Sheets

Dim drawingSheet1 As DrawingSheet
Set drawingSheet1 = drawingSheets1.Item("Sheet.1")

Dim drawingViews1 As DrawingViews
Set drawingViews1 = drawingSheet1.Views

Dim drawingView1 As DrawingView
Set drawingView1 = drawingViews1.Item("Front view")

Dim drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 As DrawingViewGenerativeBehavior
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior

Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior

Dim MyView As DrawingView
Set MyView = drawingViews1.Item("Front view")

MyView.GenerativeBehavior.PointsProjectionMode = catPointsProjectionModeOn

drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.ForceUpdate

End Sub

works for me. workaround on that

Hi Jenial,
How can we turn off grid(present in the backgroud) in CATIA using CATIA VB and also CATIA CAA?
