virtual bool NXOpen::GeometricUtilities::HelixPattern::Validate ( )
virtual

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven't set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

Returns
Was self validation successful
Created in NX3.0.1.

License requirements : None
