Method Detail

EvaluateProfileCutoutParameters

ProfileCutoutBuilder.EvaluateProfileCutoutParameters

Updates the parameters in profile cutout builder using parameters rules.

Signature EvaluateProfileCutoutParameters(tgTargetBody, tgProfileBody)

Parameters:

New in version NX10.0.0.

License requirements: nx_ship_basic (“Ship Basic Design”) OR nx_ship_detail (“Ship Detail Design”)

FindOrientation

ProfileCutoutBuilder.FindOrientation

This method will find out the profile cutout orientation.

This information will be used for drawing automation to draw the profile cutout symbol, when the profile cutout was created by flip then the symbol should be drawn flip also. So this method can be used to indicate whether the profile cuotut was created by flip or not. The logic is: The target plate shuold have the start/end flag(by seeing the End cut face attributes) and the profile(profile cutout created based on)’s molding line face is more nearing to the start of the plate, then this method will return Normal, or Flipped. if the targe plate doens’t have any flag of start/end, then None will be returned.
