Methods

Method Description
Commit Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
CommitFeature Commits the feature parameters and creates the feature
Destroy Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
EditSpline Sets a non-parametric spline for editing
Evaluate Evaluates the spline
GetCommittedObjects For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetFeature Returns the feature currently being edited by this builder.
GetKnots Queries the knot sequence for by pole spline
GetObject Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
GetParameters Queries the parameters at defining points for a through point spline
HideInternalParentFeatureAfterEdit Re-suppress an internal parent feature (a slave feature) after it has been edited.
InsertKnot Inserts knot at a closest point on the spline
InsertPole Inserts a pole in the middle of a control polygon segment
SetKnots Sets the optional knot sequence for by pole spline
SetParameters Sets the optional parameters at defining points for a through point spline
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
UpdateOnConstraintPlane Updates spline based on constraint plane
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Method Detail

Validate

DraftingSplineBuilder.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
