Perhaps one of the most overlooked components of Subassembly Design, by novice developers is the ability to utilize some very helpful Visual Basic (VB) code within subassembly creation to allow for vastly more precise and flexible design. This video will introduce the syntax and appropriate usage of this API Functionality and provide some additional resources for learning more about the vast array of available functions.
- [Instructor] And now, we dive in to what at first…might be a little overwhelming for many,…specifically if you've never had a programming experience.…Stay patient with yourself, use the resources available…to you, I'll show you some in this course,…and practice, practice and practice some more.…A thorough understanding of these principles…will drastically simplify more complex subassemblies,…and make you a more successful composer.…Even though the Subassembly Composer is visual programming,…there's still a lot of what I call…pure programming in subassembly creation.…So just some pointers here before we dive in.…
First, we've mentioned over and over again,…that the Subassembly Composer is visual coding.…The Subassembly Composer allows us to do…a lot of very complex coding…without actually having to code anything.…However, and thankfully, Audit S still exposes…some basic visual functionality…which allows us to really lean on the Subassembly Composer…to do some mathematics for us and keep our subassembly…simpler in Civil 3D and more powerful in their use.…
