Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.DirectionToFixed

Specifies how a constraint affects the positioning of a component.

Enumerator
Unknown	No information available
Toward	Toward fixed geometry

Member Function Documentation

unsafe NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.CopyInheritedToOverride ( )

inline

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.

Created in NX1847.0.0

License requirements: assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Returns: The new NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint copied from the inherited NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint in the same part.

unsafe void NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.CopyToOverride ( )

inline

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.

Created in NX12.0.0

Deprecated in NX1847.0.0. Use ComponentConstraint.CopyInheritedToOverride instead.

License requirements: assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

unsafe NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.DirectionToFixed NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.GetDirectionToFixed	(	NXOpen.Assemblies.Component	component,
		NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement	arrangement
	)

inline

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.

Created in NX9.0.0

License requirements: assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters

component	The component constrained to the specified constraint.
arrangement	The NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement in which the constraint state is being evaluated.

Returns: The NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.DirectionToFixed value.

unsafe bool NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.GetInherited ( )

inline

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

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

Created in NX9.0.0

License requirements: assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Returns: The inherited state of this NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint

unsafe bool NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.GetSeparateSuppression ( )

inline

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.

Created in NX12.0.0

License requirements: assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Returns: The separate suppression state of this NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint

unsafe bool NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.GetSharedSuppressed ( )

inline

Get 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")

Returns: The suppression state.

unsafe bool NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.GetSpecificInArrangement ( NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement arrangement )

inline

Get 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

arrangement The NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement in which the arrangement specific state is being enquired.

Returns: The arrangement specific state.

unsafe bool NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.GetSuppressedInArrangement ( NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement arrangement )

inline

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.

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: assemblies ("ASSEMBLIES MODULE")

Parameters

arrangement The NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement in which the suppression state is being enquired.

Returns: The suppression state.

unsafe void NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.RememberOnComponent ( NXOpen.Assemblies.Component component )

inline

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

component The NXOpen.Assemblies.Component on which the constraint is remembered

unsafe void NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.SetSeparateSuppression ( bool separateSuppression )

inline

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

separateSuppression

unsafe void NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.SetSharedSuppressed ( bool suppressed )

inline

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

suppressed The suppression state.

unsafe void NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.SetSpecificInArrangement	(	NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement	arrangement,
		bool	arrangementSpecific
	)

inline

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

arrangement	The NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement in which the arrangement specific state is being set.
arrangementSpecific	The arrangement specific state.

unsafe void NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.SetSuppressedInArrangement	(	NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement	arrangement,
		bool	suppressed
	)

inline

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

arrangement	The NXOpen.Assemblies.Arrangement in which the suppression state is being set.
suppressed	The suppression state.

Property Documentation

unsafe bool NXOpen.Positioning.ComponentConstraint.ArrangementSpecific
