Detailed Description

Constraint for use in positioning assembly objects in NX.


Created in NX5.0.1.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Specifies how a constraint affects the positioning of a component.

Enumerator
DirectionToFixedUnknown 

No information available.

DirectionToFixedToward 

Toward fixed geometry.

DirectionToFixedAwayFrom 

Away from fixed geometry.

DirectionToFixedNothingFixed 

The network does not contain any fixed geometry.

DirectionToFixedFix 

The constraint is a NXOpen::Positioning::Constraint::TypeFix.

DirectionToFixedSuppressed 

The constraint is suppressed.

DirectionToFixedIgnoredInArrangement 

The current arrangement ignores all constraints.

Member Function Documentation

bool NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::ArrangementSpecific ( )

Returns the arrangement specific state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint in the NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentPositioner::PrimaryArrangement and NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentPositioner::SetPrimaryArrangement .

Constraints can never be arrangement specific in piece parts.


Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::CopyToOverride ( )

Given an inherited NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint created because of Positioning Overrides, create a new constraint copied from it in the same part.

Unlike the inherited NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint , the new constraint can be modified by the user in the same ways as a normal constraint. (Inherited constraints can be suppressed or unsuppressed, but are otherwise read-only.)

If the constraint is not an inherited constraint, an error is raised.

)

Get the NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::DirectionToFixed value of the NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint given a component and an arrangement.

This value specifies how a constraint affects the positioning of a component. If the arrangement is null, the "direction to fixed" value will be evaluated based on the default arrangement.

Returns
The NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::DirectionToFixed value.
Created in NX9.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")
Parameters
componentThe component constrained to the specified constraint.
arrangementThe NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement in which the constraint state is being evaluated.
bool NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::GetInherited ( )

Get whether this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint is an inherited constraint.

An inherited constraint is created by the system to support Positioning Overrides.

Returns
The inherited state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint
Created in NX9.0.0.

bool NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::GetSeparateSuppression ( )

An inherited NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint can be suppressed independently of the constraint it is derived from.

When this has been done, it no longer becomes suppressed or unsuppressed in response to changes in the suppression of the constraint it is derived from. This method returns true for an inherited constraint in this state. It does not indicate if the constraint is inherited or not: use NXOpen::Positioning::Constraint::Suppressed for this.

Given a non-inherited constraint, this will return false.

Returns
The separate suppression state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint
Created in NX12.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")
bool NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::GetSharedSuppressed ( )

Get the shared suppression state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint used across all arrangements where the constraint is not arrangement specific.

Returns
The suppression state.
Created in NX10.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")
bool NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::GetSpecificInArrangement ( NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement arrangement)

Get the arrangement specific state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint in the specified NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement .

Returns
The arrangement specific state.
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")
Parameters
arrangementThe NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement in which the arrangement specific state is being enquired.
bool NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::GetSuppressedInArrangement ( NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement arrangement)

Get the suppression state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint in the specified NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement .

If the constraint is not arrangement specific in this arrangement then the shared suppression state, used across all arrangements where the constraint is not arrangement specific, is used.

Returns
The suppression state.
Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")
Parameters
arrangementThe NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement in which the suppression state is being enquired.
void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::RememberOnComponent ( NXOpen::Assemblies::Component component)

Remembers the constraint in the prototype part of a referenced component for reuse in other occurrences of the part.

Fix and Bond constraints are never remembered. If the constraint does not reference geometry in the component, it is not remembered.


Created in NX5.0.1.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters
componentThe NXOpen::Assemblies::Component on which the constraint is remembered
void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::SetArrangementSpecific ( bool  arrangementSpecific)

Sets the arrangement specific state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint in the NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentPositioner::PrimaryArrangement and NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentPositioner::SetPrimaryArrangement .

Constraints can never be arrangement specific in piece parts.


Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters
arrangementSpecificThe arrangement specific state
void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::SetSeparateSuppression ( bool  separateSuppression)

An inherited NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint can be suppressed independently of the constraint it is derived from.

When this has been done, it no longer becomes suppressed or unsuppressed in response to changes in the suppression of the constraint it is derived from. This method sets this state on an inherited constraint. Setting this flag will not in itself suppress or unsuppress the inherited constraint: use NXOpen::Positioning::Constraint::Suppressed for this.

If the constraint is not an inherited constraint, an error is raised.


Created in NX12.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters
separateSuppressionseparate suppression
void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::SetSharedSuppressed ( bool  suppressed)

Set the shared suppression state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint used across all arrangements where the constraint is not arrangement specific.


Created in NX10.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters
suppressedThe suppression state.
void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::SetSpecificInArrangement ( NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement arrangement,
bool  arrangementSpecific 
)

Set the arrangement specific state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint in the specified NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement .


Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters
arrangementThe NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement in which the arrangement specific state is being set.
arrangementSpecificThe arrangement specific state.
void NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint::SetSuppressedInArrangement ( NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement arrangement,
bool  suppressed 
)

Set the suppression state of this NXOpen::Positioning::ComponentConstraint in the specified NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement .

If the constraint is not arrangement specific in this arrangement then the shared suppression state, used across all arrangements where the constraint is not arrangement specific, is set.


Created in NX6.0.0.

License requirements : assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters
arrangementThe NXOpen::Assemblies::Arrangement in which the suppression state is being set.
suppressedThe suppression state.
