Interface ConstraintDisplayBuilder

All Superinterfaces:

Builder, IComponentBuilder, Remote, TaggedObject

public interface ConstraintDisplayBuilder
extends Builder

The ConstraintDisplayBuilder can be used to control visibility of constraints and optionally components. Any selected constraint is shown, and any constraint that refers to geometry in selected components is shown (subject to the setting of the VisibleConstraintsRule). All other constraints are hidden.
If ChangeComponentVisibility is on, then selected components and components positioned by selected constraints are shown, and all other components are hidden. If ChangeComponentVisibility is off, then component visibility is not affected.

This builder operates on displayed constraints. A displayed constraint represents a single assembly constraint in a given assembly, and need not be in the same part as the assembly constraint it represents. An assembly may contain more than one displayed constraint for a given assembly constraint.

To create a new instance of this class, use AssemblyManager.createConstraintDisplayBuilder()
Default values.

Method Detail

objectSelection

SelectDisplayableObjectList objectSelection()
                                     throws NXException,
                                            RemoteException

Returns the selected constraints and components. All selected constraints and components are shown when the builder is committed, and so are constraints and components connected to them.
