Properties


o Property ConstraintCreationMode() As
Returns or sets the constraint creation setting parameter.
Role: The constraint creation setting parameter manages the determination of the kind of elements to constraint.
Legal values:
catUseAnyGeometry The constraint can be created on any kind of geometry
catUsePublishedGeometryChildLevel The constraint can only be created on geometry published on the direct child level
catUsePublishedGeometryAnyLevel The constraint can only be created on geometry published on any assembly level
Example:
The following example retrieves the constraint creation setting parameter of AsmConstraintSettingAtt1 in CreationMode and sets the mode to catUsePublishedGeometryAnyLevel. 
 Set CreationMode = AsmConstraintSettingAtt1.ConstraintCreationMode
 AsmConstraintSettingAtt1.ConstraintCreationMode = catUsePublishedGeometryAnyLevel
o Property PasteComponentMode() As
Returns or sets the component paste setting parameter.
Role: The component paste setting parameter manages the keeping of the contraints of a component after a Copy/Paste or a Cut/Paste.
Legal values:
catPasteWithoutCsts The component's constraints will not be recreated
catPasteWithCstOnCopy The component's constraints will only be recreated after a Copy
catPasteWithCstOnCut The component's constraints will only be recreated after a Cut
catPasteWithCstOnCopyAndCut The component's constraints will be recreated after a Copy or a Cut
Example:
The following example retrieves the component paste setting parameter of AsmConstraintSettingAtt1 in PasteMode and sets the mode to With Cut Only. 
 Set PasteMode = AsmConstraintSettingAtt1.PasteComponentMode
 AsmConstraintSettingAtt1.PasteComponentMode = catPasteWithCstOnCut
o Property QuickConstraintMode() As
Returns or sets the quick constraint setting parameter.
Role: The quick constraint setting parameter manages the type of contraint that will be created by tue Quick Constraint command.
Legal values:
catSpecifiedOrder Use the specified order
catVerifiedConstraintFirst Create verified constraint first
Example:
The following example retrieves the quick constraint setting parameter of AsmConstraintSettingAtt1 in QuickMode and sets the mode to catSpecifiedOrder. 
 Set QuickMode = AsmConstraintSettingAtt1.QuickConstraintMode
 AsmConstraintSettingAtt1.QuickConstraintMode = catSpecifiedOrder
o Property RedundancyMode( iRedundancyMode)
Sets redundancy check option for constraint creation.
Role: The Redundancy of the constraint is decided to be checked or not to be checked, for constraint creation.
Legal values:
catUnChecked Redundancy of constraint will be checked while constraint creation.
catChecked Redundancy of constraint will not be checked while constraint creation.

Methods
