CustomManager Class

class NXOpen.Weld.CustomManager

Bases: object

Represents weld interface to customize the creation of welding joint features.

The “welding joint handler” customization callback is called after the feature is created. One can then set edge preparation parameters, change the color of the feature output curve, add attributes to the feature, or any additional customization.

The “variable bevel handler” customization callback is used to define the limits where a welding joint should be split at.

To obtain an instance of this class, refer to NXOpen.Session

New in version NX8.0.0.
