DrawingView Class

class NXOpen.Drawings.DrawingView

Bases: NXOpen.Drawings.DraftingView

Drawing View - an empty view created without any geometric objects.

A drawing view can be used to create sketches in, or create view-dependent geometry while in the expanded mode. To create or edit an instance of this class, use NXOpen.Drawings.DrawingViewBuilder

Method Detail

FindObject

DrawingView.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.

Print

DrawingView.Print

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

Signature Print()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetName

DrawingView.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) –
