CutDisplayInstanceObjects

PmiManager.CutDisplayInstanceObjects

Cuts the input PMI Display Instance objects in the part.

Cut operation makes the PMI Display Instance object invisible in the view of cut and makes it visible in the view of paste. Only PMI Display Instance objects which can be cut in the NX user interface will be copied.

Signature CutDisplayInstanceObjects(inputObjects, cutViews, viewOfPaste)

Parameters:

• inputObjects (list of NXOpen.Annotations.Annotation) – PMI Display Instance objects to be cut
• cutViews (list of NXOpen.View) – List of cut views. Each PMI Display Instance object is cut from the corresponding view in the list.
• viewOfPaste (NXOpen.View) – View in which PMI Display Instances are pasted.

New in version NX5.0.0.
