CoordinateSystemCollection Class

class NXOpen.CoordinateSystemCollection

Bases: object

Represents a collection of NXOpen.CoordinateSystem.

Iterating this collection only returns live uncondemned objects contained in the owning part of the collection. Note that NXOpen.CoordinateSystem is a smart object and many smart objects are condemned as they only exist to support other objects and are not displayed. To obtain an instance of this class, refer to NXOpen.BasePart

New in version NX3.0.0.
