class
NXOpen.Routing.Electrical.
CableConnection
¶ Bases:
NXOpen.Routing.Electrical.Connection
Connection used by a
NXOpen.Routing.Electrical.CableDevice
.Use is similar to a
NXOpen.Routing.Electrical.PathConnection
, except that a cable connection may have many paths due to many wire and/or cable children.See the NX Routing help for detailed information on the Connection data model.
To create a new instance of this class, use
NXOpen.Routing.Electrical.CableConnectionCollection.CreateCableConnection()
New in version NX4.0.2.
