UpdateOptionWithinModeling	Updates within modeling (e.g. a feature).
UpdateOptionAfterModeling	Updates after modeling (e.g. a dimension).
UpdateOptionAfterParentBody	Updates after the parent body.
UpdateOptionMixed	Updates after parent body for inter-part parents and updates within modeling for same part parents.

enum NXOpen::SmartObject::VisibilityOption

Specifies the smart object visibility.

Enumerator
VisibilityOptionInvisible	Default creation.
VisibilityOptionVisible	visible
VisibilityOptionVisibleIfParentInvisible	Visible if a parent is not loaded (for extract).

Member Function Documentation

void NXOpen::SmartObject::Evaluate ( )

Evaluate a smart object.

Typically smart object should be logged for update and final update should be performed at correct time so that smart object is processed with all its dependencies. In some situations, such as after replacing parameters of smart object, if it needs to be used immediately without performing final update, it may be forced to evaluate. When evaluate is called, smart object is evaluated based on current state of its parents and its children are not affected.
Created in NX5.0.0.
