FlangeFeature.changeFlangeType Method

This functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Description

Use this method to change the definition type of the flange feature to a different type. Create a new input object using the createBaseFlangeInput, createContourFlangeInput, or createEdgeFlangeInput methods on the FlangeFeatures collection and define the new settings on that input object. Then pass the input object to this method to change the flange type and update the feature.

To use this method, you need to position the timeline marker to immediately before this feature. This can be accomplished using the following code: thisFeature.timelineObject.rollTo(true)

Syntax

returnValue = flangeFeature_var.changeFlangeType(input)
