Append the face boundary

Signature AppendFaceBoundary(face, ignoreHole, ignoreIsland, ignoreChamfer, toolSide, convexEdges, concaveEdges)

Parameters:
  • face (NXOpen.TaggedObject) – the face to create boundaries
  • ignoreHole (bool) – flag to ignore holes in face
  • ignoreIsland (bool) – flag to ignore islands on face
  • ignoreChamfer (bool) – flag to ignore chamfers on face
  • toolSide (NXOpen.CAM.BoundarySetToolSideTypes) – tool side for the face boundary
  • convexEdges (int) – the tool position type for convex edges
  • concaveEdges (int) – the tool position type for concave edges
Returns:

array of the appended face boundary set objects

Return type:

list of NXOpen.CAM.BoundarySet

Validate

BoundaryPlanarMill.Validate

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

Signature Validate()

Returns:Was self validation successful
Return type:bool
