| FlatnessTolerance | Returns or sets the tolerance that defines at the specified point if an area is flat. |
| Scale | Returns or sets the scale factor to apply to the display of the dupin indicatrix. |
| Tag | Returns the Tag for this object. |
Methods¶
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| ResetAnalysisPoint | Reset the analysis point to accept dynamic input. |
| Validate | Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called. |

ResetAnalysisPoint¶
-
DupinBuilder.ResetAnalysisPoint¶ Reset the analysis point to accept dynamic input.
Signature
ResetAnalysisPoint()New in version NX8.0.0.
License requirements: None.
Validate¶
-
DupinBuilder.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
