Arrangement Class

class NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement

Bases: NXOpen.NXObject

Manages the suppression of NXOpen.Assemblies.Component`s within a :py:class:`NXOpen.Assemblies.ComponentAssembly.

Currently, an Arrangement simply acts as a context within which a Component can be suppressed, unsuppressed, or positioned.

To create an NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement, use the NXOpen.Assemblies.ArrangementCollection class.

An isolated NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement is an NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement that is capable of supporting isolated positions and isolated position overrides.

A standard NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement is an NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement that does not support isolated position or isolated position overrides. All :py:class:`NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement`s created in NX 8.5 or earlier are standard :py:class:`NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement`s.

New in version NX3.0.0.

Method Detail

Delete

Arrangement.Delete

Delete the given NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement.

If the forget_positioning flag is set to TRUE then components will not maintain their positions, otherwise variable component positioning will be created to maintain the components current positions. If the part containing the NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement is not already fully loaded this method will cause it to be.

Signature Delete(forgetPositioning)

Parameters:forgetPositioning (bool) – If TRUE then components will not maintain their position.

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.
