Method Detail

reverseDirection

boolean reverseDirection()
                  throws NXException,
                         RemoteException

Reverses the sense of a direction. If a direction was created using DirectionCollection.createDirection(nxopen.Point3d, nxopen.Vector3d, nxopen.SmartObject.UpdateOption) for an extract type, then the sense cannot be reversed. The method returns true if the direction is reversed and false otherwise.

sense

Sense sense()
     throws NXException,
            RemoteException

Returns the sense of the direction. If a direction was created using DirectionCollection.createDirection(nxopen.Point3d, nxopen.Vector3d, nxopen.SmartObject.UpdateOption) for an extract type, then the sense cannot be reversed. In this case, the method returns Sense.FORWARD .
