Method Detail¶
Find¶
-
LightweightSection.
Find
¶ Finds the
NXOpen.Display.DynamicSectionCut
with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.
An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.
Signature
Find(journalIdentifier)
Parameters: journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier Returns: Return type: NXOpen.Display.DynamicSectionCut
New in version NX10.0.0.
License requirements: None.
FindObject¶
-
LightweightSection.
FindObject
¶ Finds the
NXOpen.NXObject
with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.
An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.
Signature
FindObject(journalIdentifier)
Parameters: journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier of the object Returns: Return type: NXOpen.INXObject
New in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
GetSectionCuts¶
-
LightweightSection.
GetSectionCuts
¶ Gets section-cuts generated by the sectioning the model shown in the specified view.
View must belong to the same part as the section-cut creator. If no view is specified, then section-cuts generated from the sectionable entities in the part are returned.
If a view is specified, then
NXOpen.Assemblies.Explosion
active in the view is used to get section-cuts for the explosion. If the view does not have any active explosion, then section-cuts generated from the sectionable entities in the part are returned.Signature
GetSectionCuts(contextOccurrence, view)
Parameters: - contextOccurrence (
NXOpen.NXObject
) – This can be None. If non None, then this must be an occurrence. - view (
NXOpen.View
