Signature DeleteTransientDynamicSectionCutData()

Returns:Indicates whether any transient data is deleted.
Return type:bool

New in version NX10.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Signature DeleteUndoMark(markId, markName)

Parameters:
  • markId (int) – ID of mark
  • markName (str) – Name of mark. Used only if mark_id not found

New in version NX3.0.0.

An exception will be thrown if this method is called when NX is not in a task environment.

Signature DeleteUndoMarksSetInTaskEnvironment()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

DeleteUndoMarksUpToMark

Session.DeleteUndoMarksUpToMark

Deletes all undo marks up to and including the specified mark.

If you only want to delete a mark, but do not want to delete the marks that were created after that mark, use DeleteUndoMark() instead.

Signature DeleteUndoMarksUpToMark(markId, markName, deleteAllIfNotFound)

Parameters:
  • markId (int) – ID of mark
  • markName (str) – Name of mark. Used only if mark_id not found
  • deleteAllIfNotFound (bool) – Whether to delete all marks if the specified mark is not found

EnableRedo

Session.EnableRedo

Enable redo for NXOpen programs.

As default redo is enabled in NX. One can disable redo to save memory for memory intensive NX Open programs. After the NX Open program is executed redo will be restored back to enabled state. In case redo is enabled from previous disbaled state , it must be done just before setting a undo mark. Note that, redo is not supported for the visible marks set before making this call.

Signature EnableRedo(enableRedo)

Parameters:enableRedo (bool) – True will enable redo for NXOpen programs. False should disable the redo for NXOpen programs
Returns:Returns previous redo state
Return type:bool

New in version NX7.5.3.

License requirements: None.

EndTaskEnvironment

Session.EndTaskEnvironment

This method is called by the NX user interface when leaving a task environment.

This method will make visible all the undo marks that were made invisible by NXOpen.Session.BeginTaskEnvironment(). An exception will be thrown if this method is called when NX is not in a task environment.

Signature EndTaskEnvironment()

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

Execute

Session.Execute

Invokes a method in a managed library.

Currently supported library types include a Java jar or class file, a Common Language Runtime (.NET) dll, or a Python script. The input arguments should not contain KF attributes vector, point and frame Instead it should be passed as double[3], double[3] and double[16] respectively. For Python, only class bound staticmethods and global functions can be invoked. Do not use this method for other Python methods since the behavior is undefined.

Signature Execute(libName, className, methodName, inputArgs)

Parameters:
  • libName (str) – Name of the library containing the method. The full path to the library is required.
  • className (str) – Name of the class
  • methodName (str) – Name of the method to invoke
  • inputArgs (list of Variant) – Input arguments for managed method
Returns:

Return argument for managed method

Return type:

Variant

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

ExecuteGrip

Session.ExecuteGrip

Call a grip subroutine.

The input argument is an array of objects of mixed types. Each element in the array corresponds to an input argument of the Grip program. The grip program receives its arguments via the UFARGS grip statement and the order of values in the array matches the order of variables in that statement.

Argument types supported in .NET and Java are Double, String and subclasses of TaggedObject as well as simple arrays of these types. These map to NUMBER, STRING and ENTITY types in Grip.

For arrays the caller should ensure that actual array passed in matches the length of the array declared in grip otherwise an error will occur.

The return value is a similar array containing the values of the Grip variables after the program has run.

C/C++ applications will need to use UF_call_grip for this purpose.

Signature ExecuteGrip(gripExecutable, inputArgs)

Parameters:
  • gripExecutable (str) – Name of Grip executable to run
  • inputArgs (list of Variant) – Input arguments for Grip subroutine
Returns:

Output arguments for Grip subroutine

Return type:

list of Variant
