FlangeDefinition Object


Description

The FlangeDefinition object represents the information that defines a flange feature, not a flange feature.

Methods

Name Description
Copy Method that creates a copy of this FlangeDefinition object. The new FlangeDefinition object is independent of any feature. It can edited and used as input to edit an existing feature or to create a new flange feature.
GetWidthExtent Property that returns the PartFeatureExtent object that defines how the width extent of the flange feature is defined.
GetWidthExtentType Property that returns the method used to define the width extent.
RemoveOverrideWidthExtent Method that removes the override width extent for the specified physical flange.
SetCenteredDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a flange that"s centered along the edge and has a defined width.
SetCenteredWidthExtent Method that overrides the width extent of the specified physical flange to define a flange that"s centered along the edge and has a defined width.
SetDistanceHeightExtent Method that changes the FlangeDefinition object to define a flange whose height is measured by a distance.
SetEdgeDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a flange whose width is defined by the length of the input edge(s). These are the same edges that were specified to define the location of the flanges.
SetEdgeWidthExtent Method that changes the FlangeDefinition object to define a flange whose width is defined by the length of the input edge(s). These are the same edges that were specified to define the location of the flanges.
SetFromToDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a flange whose width is defined as being between two entities.
SetFromToWidthExtent Method that overrides the width extent of the specified physical flange to define a flange whose width is defined as being between two entities.
SetLegacyDistanceHeightExtent Method that changes the FlangeDefinition object to define a flange whose height is measured by a distance. The way the distance is computed for this type of height extent was used in earlier versions of Inventor and is supported in the current versions to support backward compatibility with older models.
SetOffsetDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a flange whose width is defined with respect to two entities.
SetOffsetWidthExtent Method that overrides the width extent of the specified physical flange to define a flange whose width is defined with respect to two entities.
SetToHeightExtent Method that changes the FlangeDefinition object to define a flange whose height is defined by extending to the specified entity.
SetWidthOffsetDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent for the flange feature to define a flange whose width is defined relative to another entity.
SetWidthOffsetWidthExtent Method that overrides the width extent of the specified physical flange to define a flange whose width is defined relative to another entity.
