| GetFeature | Returns the feature currently being edited by this builder. |
| GetObject | Returns the object currently being edited by this builder. |
| HideInternalParentFeatureAfterEdit | Re-suppress an internal parent feature (a slave feature) after it has been edited. |
| SetParentFeatureInternal | Set the parent features which would be internal or slaves to the feature being created or commited |
| ShowInternalParentFeatureForEdit | Unsuppress an internal parent feature (a slave feature) so it can be edited. |
| ShowResults | Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results. |
| UnsetParentFeatureInternal | Set the internal parent feature of the feature being edited to external |

FacesToMove¶
-
DimensionBuilder.FacesToMove¶ Returns the faces being moved as part of the Linear Dimension command
-------------------------------------Getter Method
Signature
FacesToMoveReturns: Return type: NXOpen.Features.FaceRecognitionBuilderNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
SaveConstraints¶
-

Method Detail¶
GetDimension¶
-
DimensionBuilder.GetDimension¶ The drafting dimension which is used as UI tool for dimension display.
Since this is saved with the feature, we need to create it and edit even during journalling. This command will hide all the creation and editing details of the drafting dimension. This API should be included for successful journalling
Signature
GetDimension()Returns: Return type: NXOpen.Annotations.DimensionNew in version NX6.0.0.
License requirements: None.
Validate¶
-
DimensionBuilder.Validate¶ Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.
If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.
Signature
Validate()Returns: Was self validation successful Return type: bool New in version NX3.0.1.
