Property Detail

AreaLaw

ScalingMethodBuilder.AreaLaw

Returns the area law.

For scaling by Area Law, the input law governs the cross sectional area at the start and end of the guide curve.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature AreaLaw

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.LawBuilder

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

BlendingFunctionType

ScalingMethodBuilder.BlendingFunctionType

Returns or sets the blending function.

Allows linear or cubic scaling between specified starting and ending scale factors, which correspond to the start and end of the guide string.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature BlendingFunctionType

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.ScalingMethodBuilderBlendingFunctionTypes

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

PerimeterLaw

ScalingMethodBuilder.PerimeterLaw

Returns the perimeter law.

For scaling by Perimeter Law, the input law governs the perimeter of the sections at the start and end of the guide curve.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature PerimeterLaw

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.GeometricUtilities.LawBuilder

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

ScaleFactor

ScalingMethodBuilder.ScaleFactor

Returns or sets the scale factor.

For Constant scaling method, the scale factor will be applied to all sections along the guide.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature ScaleFactor

Returns: Return type:float

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

-------------------------------------

Setter Method

Signature ScaleFactor

Parameters:scaleFactor (float) –

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: solid_modeling (“SOLIDS MODELING”)

ScalingCurve

ScalingMethodBuilder.ScalingCurve

Returns the scaling curve.

For scaling by Another Curve, the scale at any given point is based on the length of the ruling between the guide string and the input scaling curve.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature ScalingCurve

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.Section

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: None.

ScalingOption

ScalingMethodBuilder.ScalingOption

Returns or sets the scaling method option.

Except for Uniform and Lateral scaling methods, additional parameters and/or inputs are required.

ScalingPoint

ScalingMethodBuilder.ScalingPoint

Returns or sets the scaling point.

For scaling by a Point, the scale at any given point is based on the length of the ruling between the guide string and the input point.

-------------------------------------

Getter Method

Signature ScalingPoint

Returns: Return type:NXOpen.Point

Method Detail

Validate

ScalingMethodBuilder.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
