ILoop::IsEqual

Use this method to check if the two LOOPs are the same (LOOP does not have an ID). Note this method does not check geometry.

Compatibility

Cimatron 2026 or later

Syntax

BOOL IsEqual( interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity pLoopToCheck);

def IsEqual(interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity pLoopToCheck) -> BOOL

Return Type

Return: BOOL	oCheck - Check result

Input Type

Input: interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity	pLoopToCheck - Loop to check with current Loop

Remarks

Cimatron must be open and a face entity with the id=30 must be present in the active part document.

Example

interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess AppAcc = new interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess();
interop.CimatronE.IApplication CimApp = (interop.CimatronE.IApplication)AppAcc.GetApplication();
interop.CimatronE.ICimDocument aDOC = CimApp.GetActiveDoc();
interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModelContainer aContainer = (interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModelContainer)aDoc;
interop.CimMdlrAPI.IMdlrModel aMdlrModel = (interop.CimMdlrAPI.IMdlrModel)aContainer.Model;
interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModel aModel = (interop.CimMdlrAPI.IModel)aMdlrModel;
int aEntityID = 30; //Id must the Id of face type object
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity aEntity = aModel.GetEntityById(aEntityID, aModel);
interop.CimBaseAPI.IFace aFace = aEntity as interop.CimBaseAPI.IFace;
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList aLoops = aFace.GetAllLoops();
interop.CimBaseAPI.ILoop aLoop1 = aLoops[1] as interop.CimBaseAPI.ILoop;
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntityList aLoops2 = aFace.GetAllLoops();
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimEntity aReplicaLoop1 = aLoops2[1];
isEqual = aLoop1.IsEqual(aReplicaLoop1);
