Method Detail

FindObject

NormalModeProperty.FindObject

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.

Signature FindObject(journalIdentifier)

Parameters:journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier of the object
Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.INXObject

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Print

NormalModeProperty.Print

Prints a representation of this object to the system log file.

Signature Print()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

SetName

NormalModeProperty.SetName

Sets the custom name of the object.

NOTE: This method should not be used to edit a read-only object such as a Mirrored PMI object. If it is, the changes will be overridden when the part is updated.

Signature SetName(name)

Parameters:name (str) –
