Visual Basic

Public Sub SetLayoutAsCustomPattern ( _
	minorStartOverhang As Double, _
	majorStartOverhang As Double, _
	minorFabricWireItems As IList(Of FabricWireItem), _
	majorFabricWireItems As IList(Of FabricWireItem) _
)

Visual C++
public: void SetLayoutAsCustomPattern( double minorStartOverhang, double majorStartOverhang, IList<FabricWireItem^>^ minorFabricWireItems, IList<FabricWireItem^>^ majorFabricWireItems )

Parameters

minorStartOverhang: Type: System..::..Double
The distance from the edge of the sheet to the first wire in the minor direction.

majorStartOverhang: Type: System..::..Double
The distance from the edge of the sheet to the first wire in the major direction.

minorFabricWireItems: Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'FabricWireItem>)>)>
The fabric wire items in the minor direction.

majorFabricWireItems: Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'FabricWireItem>)>)>
The fabric wire items in the major direction.

Remarks

The following properties are not used for custom fabric sheet type: - MajorDirectionWireType; - MinorDirectionWireType; - MajorSpacing; - MinorSpacing.
