FlatPatternObject Class

class NXOpen.Drawings.FlatPatternObject

Bases: NXOpen.TransientObject

Provides an interface to the data available for flat pattern objects on drawing views.

New in version NX6.0.3.

Methods

Method	Description
Dispose	Frees the memory of the underlying class
GetDirections	Returns the X and Y direction vectors that correspond to the flattened datum csys feature object.
GetFlatSolidObject	Returns the point object containing the attributes the user put on the original datum CSYS feature.
GetOrigin	Returns the origin of the marker object (the point on the drawing).

Method Detail

Dispose

FlatPatternObject.Dispose

Frees the memory of the underlying class

Signature Dispose()

New in version NX6.0.3.

License requirements: None.

GetDirections

FlatPatternObject.GetDirections

Returns the X and Y direction vectors that correspond to the flattened datum csys feature object.

The vectors have been transformed to drawing sheet coordinates.

Signature GetDirections()

Returns:a tuple Return type:A tuple consisting of (xDirection, yDirection). xDirection is a NXOpen.Vector3d. X direction of simulated CSYS yDirection is a NXOpen.Vector3d. Y direction of simulated CSYS

New in version NX6.0.3.

License requirements: None.

GetFlatSolidObject

FlatPatternObject.GetFlatSolidObject

Returns the point object containing the attributes the user put on the original datum CSYS feature.

This is the prototype object. The recommended procedure is to use the point to obtain attribute values and to use GetOrigin and GetDirections to obtain the geometrical data because of mappings to occurrences and to the drawing sheet.

Signature GetFlatSolidObject()

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.CartesianCoordinateSystem

New in version NX6.0.3.

License requirements: None.

GetOrigin

FlatPatternObject.GetOrigin

Returns the origin of the marker object (the point on the drawing).

The point has been transformed to drawing sheet coordinates.

Signature GetOrigin()

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.Point3d

New in version NX6.0.3.

License requirements: None.
