DrawBeadSegmentBuilder Class — NXOpen Python API Reference 12.0.0 documentation

# DrawBeadSegmentBuilder Class

class `NXOpen.Die.``DrawBeadSegmentBuilder`

  Bases: `NXOpen.TaggedObject`, `NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.IComponentBuilder`

  Segment builder for Die Engineering draw bead.

  The segment is defined along the centerline by either a single point (and then the next segment) or 2 end points along the segment. To create a new instance of this class, use `NXOpen.Die.DrawBeadBuilder.CreateDrawBeadSegment()`

  New in version NX7.5.0.

# Method Detail

## Validate

`DrawBeadSegmentBuilder.``Validate`

  Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

  If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

  Signature `Validate()`

  Returns: | Was self validation successful
  Return type: | bool

  New in version NX3.0.1.
