Use of Standard-VBA

[mkloeck]

Hello,
Is it possible to load standard VBA from the userprofile via the API interface so that, for example, not only a threaded rod but also the correct nut and washer are modelled directly?

Standard VBA's can be created with following function https://github.com/cwapi3d/cwapi3dpython/blob/main/src/connector_axis_controller/__init__.pyi#L6

Thank you for your reply.

I have already tried this function. I used the name of my standard VBA (threaded rod with washers and nuts), but the result only showed the threaded rod. Have I misunderstood the function, or what could be the reason for this?

CA must exist in 3d file. Those are not CA from the Userprofile.

In my example standard_connector_name = "CA"

import cadwork
import connector_axis_controller


def create_connector_axis(connector_name: str, start_point: cadwork.point_3d, direction: cadwork.point_3d) -> int:
    end_point = start_point + direction

    return connector_axis_controller.create_standard_connector(connector_name,
                                                               start_point,
                                                               end_point)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    standard_connector_name = "CA"
    start_pt = cadwork.point_3d(4940.0, 130.0, 4100.0)
    direction_vec = cadwork.point_3d(0.0, 0.0, -120.0)
    connector_axis_id = create_connector_axis(standard_connector_name,
                                                start_pt,
                                                direction_vec)
    print(f"Created connector axis with ID: {connector_axis_id}")
