getCriteriaStrings

String[] getCriteriaStrings()
                     throws NXException,
                            RemoteException

Obtains the criteria strings associated with this selection criteria. Output "criteriaStringArray" would be an array of TEXT_pc_t with each element of the form for e.g. "p7 > 100", where "p7" is the attribute, "100" the value and ">" the expression connecting both

setPartFamilyInstanceSelectionCriteria

void setPartFamilyInstanceSelectionCriteria(FamilyAttribute[] attributes,
                                            String[] criteriaStringArray)
                                     throws NXException,
                                            RemoteException

Sets criteria on InstanceSelectionCriteria . This criteria can be used while adding a part family member to assembly. Number of elements in "attributes" and "criteriaStringArray" should always match the "attributeCount". "criteriaStringArray" has to be an array of TEXT_pc_t with each element of the form for e.g. "p7 >= 100", where "p7" is the attribute, "100" the value and ">=" the expression connecting both

setPartFamilyInstanceSelectionCriteria

void setPartFamilyInstanceSelectionCriteria(String memberName)
                                     throws NXException,
                                            RemoteException

Sets criteria on InstanceSelectionCriteria . This routine can be used when user wants to add a part family member to assembly directly using the "memberName" instead of using attribute criteria. This "memberName" will be ignored in case the InstenaceSelectionCriteria already has any valid attribute criteria or if the user adds a valid attribute criteria later on. User could obtain valid "memberName" using Template.getMembers() .
