Method Detail

Dispose

DimensionData.Dispose

Frees the object from memory.

After this method is called, it is illegal to use the object. In .NET, this method is automatically called when the object is deleted by the garbage collector.

Signature Dispose()

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

GetAngularTolerance

DimensionData.GetAngularTolerance

Returns the angular tolerances

Signature GetAngularTolerance()

Returns:Angular tolerance Return type:NXOpen.Annotations.AngularTolerance

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

GetAppendedText

DimensionData.GetAppendedText

Returns the appended text

Signature GetAppendedText()

Returns:Appended text Return type:NXOpen.Annotations.AppendedText

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

GetAssociativity

DimensionData.GetAssociativity

Returns the associativity at specified index.

Valid index values are {1, 2, 3}.

For ordinate dimensions, -

the associativity at index 1 stores the ordinate origin dimension associativity data. -

the associativity at index 2 stores the ordinate dimension associativity data.

The associativity at index 3 stores the following -

1. Fold location for the folded radius dimension
2. Margin data for the ordinate dimensions

Signature GetAssociativity(associativityIndex)

Parameters:associativityIndex (int) – Associativity index Returns:List of associativity objects Return type:list of NXOpen.Annotations.Associativity

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

GetDimensionPreferences

DimensionData.GetDimensionPreferences

Returns the dimension preferences

Signature GetDimensionPreferences()

Returns:Dimension preferences Return type:NXOpen.Annotations.DimensionPreferences

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

GetInferredPlane

DimensionData.GetInferredPlane

Get inferred annotation plane.

Before calling this method, you must fill in the associativities for the Dimension by calling NXOpen.Annotations.DimensionData.SetAssociativity() for the correct number of objects based on the type of Dimension you wish to create.

Also, you must specify the particular type of Dimension to be created as the inferred Dimension plane depends on the type of the Dimension as well as the geometry being measured.

Signature GetInferredPlane(jaDefaultPlane, dimType)

Parameters:

• jaDefaultPlane (NXOpen.Annotations.PmiDefaultPlane) –
• dimType (NXOpen.Annotations.DimensionType) –

Returns:

Return type:
