Method Detail

CreateConstrainedSegment

SegmentManager.CreateConstrainedSegment

Creates a constrained line NXOpen.Routing.ISegment object with input NXOpen.Routing.ControlPoint as ends.

Only use this method when building segments in a part that use NXOpen.Positioning.Constraint objects to constraint components and geometry. This is a new method for creating segments in NX5 and should be used instead of NXOpen.Routing.SegmentManager.CreateSegment() for all line segments.

Signature CreateConstrainedSegment(startRcp, endRcp)

Parameters:
Returns:

Created segment
Return type:

NXOpen.Routing.ISegment

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: routing_base (“Routing Basic”)

CreateHealPath

SegmentManager.CreateHealPath

Creates a new empty NXOpen.Routing.HealPath object that can be used as an input to NXOpen.Routing.SegmentManager.CreateHealSpline().

Signature CreateHealPath()

Returns:
Return type:NXOpen.Routing.HealPath

New in version NX5.0.0.

License requirements: routing_base (“Routing Basic”)

CreateHealSpline

SegmentManager.CreateHealSpline

Creates a spline NXOpen.Routing.ISegment object with input NXOpen.Routing.ControlPoint as ends.

Signature CreateHealSpline(startObject, endObject, healPath)

Parameters:
Returns:

Created segment
Return type:

NXOpen.Routing.ISegment

New in version NX5.0.0.

GetShortestPathBetweenControlPoints

SegmentManager.GetShortestPathBetweenControlPoints

Returns the shortest connected segments (i.

  1. the path) linking the two :py:class:`NXOpen.Routing.ControlPoint`s, if any.

Signature GetShortestPathBetweenControlPoints(controlPoint1, controlPoint2)

Parameters:
Returns:
Return type:

list of NXOpen.Routing.ISegment

New in version NX11.0.1.

ModelTerminals

SegmentManager.ModelTerminals

Models spline paths to to specified terminals.

Updates connection list to reflect changes to wire lengths of referencing connections.

Signature ModelTerminals(multiPort, cutBackLength, extensionString, overrideCharx, terminalPorts)

Parameters:
  • multiPort (NXOpen.Routing.Port) – MultiPort whose terminals are modeled
  • cutBackLength (float) – Length of cut back path connected to multiport.
  • extensionString (str) – Length of terminal segments which extends parallel to terminal ports
  • overrideCharx (bool) – if TRUE: extension_string determines all terminal extensions
  • terminalPorts (list of NXOpen.Routing.Port) – Terminal ports from which terminals are modeled

ProcessBuiltInPaths

SegmentManager.ProcessBuiltInPaths

Create segments of NXOpen.Routing.BuiltInPath objects present in this NXOpen.Assemblies.Component object.

Signature ProcessBuiltInPaths(partOcc)

Parameters:partOcc (NXOpen.Assemblies.Component) –

SetFollowCurve

SegmentManager.SetFollowCurve

Set segment follow curve.

Segment can change type to mirror the type of the follow curve being set.

Signature SetFollowCurve(segment, followCurve)

Parameters:
Returns:

Segment can possibly change types.

Use the returned segment object pointer instead of any older pointers after calling this function. For example: A LineSegment can become a SplineSegment after calling this function if new follow curve is a spline. :rtype: NXOpen.Routing.ISegment
