Property Detail

CutObject

DynamicSectionCut.CutObject

Returns the object from which this section-cut is generated.

E.g.; a body, a body occurrence, a component.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature CutObject

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.INXObject

New in version NX10.0.0.

License requirements: None.

IsOccurrence

DynamicSectionCut.IsOccurrence

Returns whether this object is an occurrence or not.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature IsOccurrence

Returns:This object is an occurrence
Return type:bool

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

JournalIdentifier

DynamicSectionCut.JournalIdentifier

Returns the identifier that would be recorded in a journal for this object.

This may not be the same across different releases of the software.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature JournalIdentifier

Returns:
Return type:str

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Name

DynamicSectionCut.Name

Returns the custom name of the object.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature Name

Returns:
Return type:str

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

OwningComponent

DynamicSectionCut.OwningComponent

Returns the owning component, if this object is an occurrence.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature OwningComponent

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.Assemblies.Component

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

OwningPart

DynamicSectionCut.OwningPart

Returns the owning part of this object

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature OwningPart

Returns:The owning part of this object or null if it does not have an owner
Return type:NXOpen.BasePart

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Prototype

DynamicSectionCut.Prototype

Returns the prototype of this object if it is an occurrence.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature Prototype

Returns:The prototype of this object or null if this object is not an occurrence
Return type:NXOpen.INXObject

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Method Detail

FindObject

DynamicSectionCut.FindObject

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject 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.

Signature FindObject(journalIdentifier)

Parameters:journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier of the object
Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.INXObject

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

PrepareForMeasure

DynamicSectionCut.PrepareForMeasure

Prepares the section-cut for measurement.

This may create curves necessary to do measurement operation. The curves are displayed as part of preparation for measurement. The curves may be detroyed at the end of measure operation (see NXOpen.Session.DeleteTransientDynamicSectionCutData().

Signature PrepareForMeasure(contextOccurrence, view)

Parameters:
  • contextOccurrence (NXOpen.NXObject) – This can be None. If non None, then this must be an occurrence in the part of section-cut occurrence. In this case, occurrences of curves associated with the section-cut are setup for measurement.
  • view (NXOpen.View) – This can be None. If a valid view is specified, then it is used to skip invisible body occurrences in a component for creation of curves used for measurement. If curves have already been created, then view is ignored.

New in version NX10.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Print

DynamicSectionCut.Print

Prints a representation of this object to the system log file.

Signature Print()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetName

DynamicSectionCut.SetName

Sets the custom name of the object.

NOTE: This method should not be used to edit a read-only object such as a Mirrored PMI object. If it is, the changes will be overridden when the part is updated.

Signature SetName(name)

Parameters:name (str) –
