Returns:
Return type:

list of NXOpen.CAM.FBM.Feature

New in version NX10.0.3.

Get the in process feature editor at the specified index

Signature GetFeatureSet(nIndex)

Parameters:nIndex (int) – the index of the feature set editor
Returns:the in process feature set
Return type:NXOpen.CAM.FBM.FeatureSet

New in version NX9.0.1.

Validate

FeatureGeometry.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
