NXMatrix Class¶

class
NXOpen.NXMatrix¶ Bases:
NXOpen.NXObjectRepresents an NX matrix.
An NX matrix is a 3 x 3 matrix whose matrix elements do not change once the matrix is created. NX Matrices are used in numerous methods that require an orientation matrix (for example, methods to create a two dimensional curve). An NX matrix can be used more than once in creation methods or other methods. To create a new instance of this class, use
NXOpen.NXMatrixCollection.Create()New in version NX3.0.0.

-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
IsOccurrence()Returns: This object is an occurrence Return type: bool New in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
JournalIdentifier¶
-
NXMatrix.JournalIdentifier¶ Returns the identifier that would be recorded in a journal for this object.
This may not be the same across different releases of the software.
-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
JournalIdentifier()Returns: Return type: str New in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
Name¶
-
NXMatrix.Name¶ Returns the custom name of the object.
-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
Name()Returns: Return type: str New in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
OwningComponent¶
-
NXMatrix.OwningComponent¶ Returns the owning component, if this object is an occurrence.
-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
OwningComponent()Returns: Return type: NXOpen.Assemblies.ComponentNew in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
OwningPart¶

Method Detail¶
FindObject¶
-
NXMatrix.FindObject¶ Finds the
NXOpen.NXObjectwith 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.INXObjectNew in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.

Signature
Print()New in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
SetName¶
-
NXMatrix.SetName¶ Sets the custom name of the object.
NOTE: This method should not be used to edit a read-only object such as a Mirrored PMI object. If it is, the changes will be overridden when the part is updated.
Signature
SetName(name)Parameters: name (str) – New in version NX3.0.0.
License requirements: None.
