HybridShapePointCoord.RefAxisSystem problem

[itsmyjob]

I have a Coord point with a Reference Axis system. I would like to remove that Ref Axis System

Dim oPT As HybridShapePointCoord

Set oPT = CATIA.ActiveEditor.Selection.Item(1).Value

oPT.RefAxisSystem = Null

does not work. I also try to declare a Ref then pass the empty Ref object to the oPT.RefAxisSystem but error again...



Does someone know how to remove the axis Ref? VBA or EKL is welcome. Using 3DX2016X

Would isolating the point not solve your issue?

and then redefine it with its own coordinates? if links follow i don't mind which way... i will see

manually when I Isolate the point and bring it back with coordinates, the refaxis comes back...

This may not be optimal, but would setting all Axis Systems in the Part as 'Not Current' before be a viable solution?

Eric, what do you expect to happen to the point once you've removed its ref axis system? If this is done interactively, the Default Axis system is proposed automatically.
I'm thinking setting to Null/Nothing doesn't make sense as it needs a ref axis system (cause that's the type of object: HybridShapePointCoord).
For this reason I don't think it is possible to remove it but to set it to something else (other axis system).

have a look at a HybridShapePointCoord object with no reference axis

I understand now.

Property RefAxisSystem( ) As Reference

Returns or Sets the reference Axis System for PointCoord feature.
This data is not mandatory, if element is null, the absolute axis system is taken.

It should have said: "...if element is not specified"
