WorkPointProxy Object

Derived from: WorkPoint Object

Description

This is an assembly-context proxy object derived from its native definition-context object.

Methods

Name	Description
Delete	Method that deletes the work point. Optionally the dependent objects will be deleted. This method will fail in the case where this object was created as a result of a derived part. The HasReferenceComponent property can be used to determine when this is the case.
GetReferenceKey	Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity.
SetAtCentroid	Method that redefines a work point to be located at the centroid of the input entities.
SetByCurveAndEntity	Method that redefines a work point to be at the intersection of the input curve and an entity.
SetByMidPoint	Method that redefines the work point to be at the midpoint of the input edge.
SetByPoint	Method that redefines the work point to be at the input point.
SetBySphereCenterPoint	Redefines the work point to be at the center of the Sphere specified by the input face.
SetByThreePlanes	Method that redefines the work point to be at the intersection of the three input planes.
SetByTorusCenterPoint	Method that redefines the work point to be at the center of the torus specified by the input face.
SetByTwoLines	Method that redefines the work point to be at the intersection of the two input lines.
SetEndOfPart	Method that repositions the end-of-part marker relative to the object this method is called from. The argument defines if the end-of-part marker will be positioned just before or just after the object. If the object is contained within another object and is not in the top level of the browser, the positioning of the marker will be relative to the top-level object the calling object is contained within. An example of this case is a sketch that has not been shared and has been consumed by a feature. Another example is a nested work feature.
SetFixed	Method that redefines the work point to be at the position specified by the input point.

Properties

Name	Description
Adaptive
Application	Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
AttributeSets	Property that returns the AttributeSets collection object associated with this object.
Construction	Boolean property that returns whether the work point is a construction work point or not. A construction work point is hidden from the user and is not displayed graphically or listed in the browser. Some properties and methods of the WorkPoint object will behave differently for a construction work point. These are Adaptive, Name, and Visible.
Consumed	Gets whether the WorkPoint is consumed or not.
ConsumeInputs
ContainingOccurrence	Property that returns the ComponentOccurrence that the native object is being referenced through. The returned occurrence is the containing occurrence.
Definition	Property that returns one of the work point definition objects. Which definition object returned will depend on how the work point is defined. The DefinitionType property can be used to determine the type of definition the Definition property will return.
DefinitionType	Property that returns the type of definition that is used to define the work axis. This can be kThreePlanesWorkPoint, kTwoLinesWorkPoint, kCurveAndEntityWorkPoint, kPointWorkPoint, kMidPointWorkPoint, kNonLinearEdgeWorkPoint, kCentroidWorkPoint, kFixedWorkPoint, kTorusCenterPointWorkPoint and kAssemblyWorkPoint.
Dependents	Property that returns the collection of objects that have a direct dependency on the work point.
DrivenBy	Property that returns the collection of objects that the work point is dependent on.
Exported
Grounded
HasReferenceComponent	Property that specifies if the object was created as the result of a derived part.
HealthStatus	Property that returns an enum indicating the current state of the object.
IsCoordinateSystemElement	Property that returns whether the work point belongs to a coordinate system. If so, edits and delete are not allowed.
IsOwnedByFeature	Property that returns whether this object is owned by a feature. If True, the OwnedBy property returns the owning feature.
IsParentSketch	Property that indicates whether the work point belongs to a 3d sketch.
IsPatternElement	Property that gets whether the work point was created by a pattern. If so, edits and delete are not allowed.
Name
NativeObject	Gets the object in the context of the definition instead of the containing assembly.
OwnedBy	Read-only property that returns the client feature that owns this object. This property returns Nothing if the IsOwnedByFeature property returns False.
Parent	Property returning the parent object.
ParentSketch	Property that returns the parent ComponentDefinition object.
Point	Property that returns a Point geometry object. The Point object returned provides information about the position of the work point.
ReferenceComponent	Property that returns the ReferenceComponent that resulted in the creation of this feature.
ReferencedEntity	Property that returns the referenced WorkPoint in the case where this work point was created using a referenced component. An example of this is when a work point is selected as part of a derived part. The HasReferenceComponent property indicates if this work point is based on a referenced component or not. This property returns Nothing in the case where it is not based on a referenced component.
Shared
Type	Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
Visible
