PartBuilder Class¶

class NXOpen.PDM.PartBuilder¶

Bases: NXOpen.TransientObject

This class serves as the base class for NX Manager part builders.

The NX Manager part builders are used to create new parts in NX Manager mode.

This class is **deprecated in NX10 for “Create” and “Save As of master parts” operations. This class should only be used in case of Save As Non Master parts and Save As New Item Type Operations. For Create of all parts use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationBuilder and NXOpen.FileNew For Save As of master parts, use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCopyBuilder.

This is an abstract class, and cannot be created.

New in version NX4.0.0.

Method Detail¶

AssignPartFileName¶

PartBuilder.AssignPartFileName¶

Overloaded method AssignPartFileName

AssignPartFileName(partFileType)
AssignPartFileName(partNumber, partRevision, partFileNameType, oldPartFileName)

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

This method generates a part file name given an input part file type and assigns this part file name to the builder.

This method depends on the part type, part number, and part revision already being set on the builder. Therefore, a call to PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() or, more likely, calls to PDM.PartBuilder.AssignPartNumber() and PDM.PartBuilder.AssignPartRevision() must be made before calling this method.

If this method is called before PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() (as will typically be the case) then the **part_file_type and **part_file_name parameters of PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() should be set to None so that the builder will use the values assigned by this method. Otherwise, CreatePartSpec will override the values assigned here and assign the values of the **part_file_type and **part_file_name parameters to the builder.

Deprecated in NX10 except for Save As Non Master part and Save As to New Item Type operations. Use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationBuilder.CreateSpecificationsForLogicalObjects() instead.

Signature AssignPartFileName(partFileType)

Parameters:	partFileType (str) – the part file type. Note that if the part file type is “master”, then this method will return None but will still set the part file type in the builder.
Returns:	the assigned part file name
Return type:	str

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

This method generates a part file name and assigns this part file name to the builder.

If this method is called before PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() then the **part_file_name parameter of PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() should be set to None so that the builder will use the value assigned by this method. Otherwise, CreatePartSpec will override the value assigned here and assign the values of the **part_file_type and **part_file_name parameters to the builder.

Deprecated in NX10 except for Save As Non Master part and Save As to New Item Type operations. Use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationBuilder.CreateSpecificationsForLogicalObjects() instead.

Signature AssignPartFileName(partNumber, partRevision, partFileNameType, oldPartFileName)

Parameters:	partNumber (str) – Part Number partRevision (str) – part revision partFileNameType (str) – Part file name type. Note that if the part file type is “master”, then this method will set the field PartFileName</b> of `PDM.PartBuilderPartFileNameData_Struct` with None oldPartFileName** (str) – Old part file name
Returns:
Return type:	`NXOpen.PDM.PartBuilderPartFileNameData_Struct`

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

AssignPartNumber¶

PartBuilder.AssignPartNumber¶

Overloaded method AssignPartNumber

AssignPartNumber(partType)
AssignPartNumber(oldPartNumber, partType)

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

This method generates a part number given an input part type and assigns this part number to the builder.

The input part type will also be assigned to the builder. If the input part type is None then this method will fail unless the part type has already been set on the builder via a previous call to this method or to PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec().

If this method is called before PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() (as will typically be the case) then the **part_type and **part_number parameters of PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() should be set to None so that the builder will use the values assigned by this method. Otherwise, CreatePartSpec will override the values assigned here and assign the values of the **part_type and **part_number parameters to the builder.

The output part_number: In case of Default Domain: it is Teamcenter item ID. In case of non-Default Domain: it is the multifield key. e.g. %#MFK#%,=item_id=001, object_type=SupplierPart, supplier_code=x

Deprecated in NX10 except for Save As Non Master part and Save As to New Item Type operations. Use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCreateBuilder for Create and NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCopyBuilder for Save As instead. To assign part number, use NXOpen.PDM.LogicalObject and NXOpen.AttributePropertiesBuilder to create DB_PART_NO attribute.

Signature AssignPartNumber(partType)

Parameters:	partType (str) – the part type
Returns:	the assigned multifield key
Return type:	str

New in version NX4.0.0.

License requirements: None.

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

This method generates a part number given an input part type and sets this part number to the builder.

The input part type will also be assigned to the builder. If the input part type is None then this method will fail unless the part type has already been set on the builder via a previous call to this method or to PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec().

If this overloaded method is called before PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() then the **part_number parameter of PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() should be set to None so that the builder will use the value assigned by this method. Otherwise, CreatePartSpec will override the value assigned here and assign the value of **part_number parameter to the builder.

The output part_number in part_info structure: In case of Default Domain: it is Teamcenter item ID. In case of non-Default Domain: it is the multifield key. e.g. %#MFK#%,=item_id=001, object_type=SupplierPart, supplier_code=x

Deprecated in NX10 except for Save As Non Master part and Save As to New Item Type operations. Use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCreateBuilder for Create and NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCopyBuilder for Save As instead. To assign part number, use NXOpen.PDM.LogicalObject and NXOpen.AttributePropertiesBuilder to create DB_PART_NO attribute.

Signature AssignPartNumber(oldPartNumber, partType)

Parameters:	oldPartNumber (str) – Old part number partType (str) – Part type
Returns:	Contains part number information.
Return type:	`NXOpen.PDM.PartBuilderPartNumberData_Struct`

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

AssignPartRevision¶

PartBuilder.AssignPartRevision¶

Overloaded method AssignPartRevision

AssignPartRevision()
AssignPartRevision(overload)

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

This method generates a part revision and assigns this part revision to the builder.

This method depends on the part type and part number already being set on the builder. Therefore, a call to PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() or, more likely, to AssignPartNumber() must be made before calling this method.

If this method is called before PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() (as will typically be the case) then the **part_revision parameter of PDM.PartBuilder.CreatePartSpec() should be set to None so that the builder will use the value assigned by this method. Otherwise, CreatePartSpec will override the value assigned here and assign the value of the **part_revision parameters to the builder.

Deprecated in NX10 except for Save As Non Master part and Save As to New Item Type operations. Use NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCreateBuilder for Create and NXOpen.PDM.PartOperationCopyBuilder for Save As instead.
