Method Detail

CopySections

DynamicSectionCollection.CopySections

Copies the specified dynamic sections in the part.

A copy of each specified dynamic section will be created and then added to the part. It is ensured that each dynamic section object in the part has a unique name. Hence, it is possible that the name of a pasted section object is different from that of the input section object if its name clashes with an existing section object in the part.

The section objects being copied must have been loaded in the memory. Otherwise this method will throw an exception.

Signature CopySections(sections, deleteOriginals)

Parameters:
  • sections (list of NXOpen.Display.DynamicSection) – The objects to be pasted in the part
  • deleteOriginals (bool) – Flag indicating whether the input sections should be deleted
Returns:

Copied section objects in the part.
Return type:

list of NXOpen.Display.DynamicSection

FindObject

DynamicSectionCollection.FindObject

Finds the NXOpen.Display.DynamicSection with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.
