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.
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.
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
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Enumerations

JoinCurvesBuilderOutputCurve Enumeration Represents the output curve type.

Property Detail

AngleTolerance

JoinCurvesBuilder.AngleTolerance

Returns or sets the angle tolerance.

This tolerance is used while creating the joined curve. The same tolerance is also applied to the section.

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

Getter Method

Signature AngleTolerance

Returns:
Return type:float

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

Setter Method

Signature AngleTolerance

Parameters:angleTolerance (float) –

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)

CurveOptions

JoinCurvesBuilder.CurveOptions

Returns the Curve Options.

This object contains the data about the associativity and corresponding action on the input curves. A feature is created only if the associativity is switched ON and the input curves can not be deleted or replaced.

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

Getter Method

Signature CurveOptions

Returns:Curve Options

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)

DistanceTolerance

JoinCurvesBuilder.DistanceTolerance

Returns or sets the distance tolerance.

This tolerance is used while creating the joined curve. The same tolerance is also applied to the section.

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

Getter Method

Signature DistanceTolerance

Returns:
Return type:float

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

Setter Method

Signature DistanceTolerance

Parameters:distanceTolerance (float) –

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)

MaximumDegree

JoinCurvesBuilder.MaximumDegree

Returns or sets the maximum degree of the advanced spline output.

This integer is only used in cases where the output curve option is set to advanced type.

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

Getter Method

Signature MaximumDegree

Returns:
Return type:int

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

Setter Method

Signature MaximumDegree

Parameters:maximumDegree (int) –

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)

MaximumSegments

JoinCurvesBuilder.MaximumSegments

Returns or sets the maximum number of segments of the advanced spline output.

This integer is only used in cases where the output curve option is set to advanced type.

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

Getter Method

Signature MaximumSegments

Returns:
Return type:int

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”) OR cam_base (“CAM BASE”) OR insp_programming (“INSPECTION PROGRAMMING”)

OutputCurveType

JoinCurvesBuilder.OutputCurveType

Returns or sets the output curve type.

If the output curve type is advaned, the maximum degree for output spline and maximum number of segments should also be provided.

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

Getter Method

Signature OutputCurveType

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.Features.JoinCurvesBuilderOutputCurve

Method Detail

Validate

JoinCurvesBuilder.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.

License requirements: None.
