DieDirectionBuilder Class

class NXOpen.Die.DieDirectionBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.TaggedObject, NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.IComponentBuilder

Represents a NXOpen.Die.DieDirectionBuilder.

The Die Direction is a helper to the main Die Design feature to gather the vector for items such as Trim direction or Flange direction. Note that if a coordinate system is specified, then the direction will be -Z of that coordinate system.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Die.DieCollection.CreateDieDirection()

New in version NX6.0.0.

Method Detail

Validate

DieDirectionBuilder.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
