Detailed Description

Class that performs the "layout" of Formboard geometry.

Creates all geometry chosen by the user to flatten into a drawing and orients the geometry to match the criteria specified in this builder class. This builder must only be instantiated and used after the harnesses have been specified and stored using the NXOpen::Formboard::FormboardManager::StoreHarnessesToFlatten method.
To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen::Formboard::FormboardManager::CreateLayoutBuilder

Created in NX7.5.0.

BranchAngleRandomAngles	Randomly choose an angle for each branch.

enum NXOpen::Formboard::FormboardLayoutBuilder::BranchShape

Enumerator
BranchShapeStraight	Each branch forms a straight line.
BranchShapeAngled	Branch becomes angled at each location that forms a new branch.

enum NXOpen::Formboard::FormboardLayoutBuilder::MainRunType

Selection method for the set of segments that define the main run of the formboard geometry.

Enumerator
MainRunTypeLongest	Path of longest wire.

void NXOpen::Formboard::FormboardLayoutBuilder::CreateDefaultGeometry ( )

Creates the initial set of formboard geometry using the current default values stored in the builder.

This geometry is necessary for the UI to allow the user to see and select formboard geometry, for example to define a Main Run. Does nothing if the work part already contains formboard geometry.
