Returns or sets the flag indicating if the setback curve direction is flipped.

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

Getter Method

Signature IsDirectionFlipped

Returns:
Return type:bool

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

Setter Method

Signature IsDirectionFlipped

Parameters:flipDirection (bool) –

New in version NX9.0.0.

Returns or sets the setback plane.

The setback curve will be the intersection curve between plane and face collector.

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

Getter Method

Signature Plane

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.Plane

New in version NX9.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

Setter Method

Signature Plane

Parameters:plane (NXOpen.Plane) –

New in version NX9.0.0.
