CoilFeature Object

Derived from: PartFeature Object

Description

The CoilFeature object represents coil modeling features.

Methods

Name Description
Delete Method that deletes the feature. The arguments allow control over which dependent objects are also deleted.
GetReferenceKey Method that generates and returns the reference key for this entity.
GetSuppressionCondition Method that gets the suppression condition for the feature. The method returns False if no condition has been applied.
RemoveParticipant Method that removes the specified participant from the assembly feature. This method fails for features in a part.
SetAffectedBodies Method that sets a collection of SurfaceBody objects affected by this feature.
SetEndOfPart Method that repositions the end-of-part marker relative to the object this method is called from.
SetPitchAndHeightExtent Set coil feature pitch and height extent.
SetPitchAndRevolutionExtent Set coil feature pitch and revolution extent.
SetRevolutionAndHeightExtent Set coil feature revolution and height extent.
SetSpiralExtent Set coil feature spiral extent.
SetSuppressionCondition Method that sets the suppression condition for the feature.

Properties

Name Description
Adaptive Gets and sets whether this feature is adaptive or not.
Appearance Gets and sets the current appearance of the feature.
AppearanceSourceType Gets and sets the source of the appearance for the feature.
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.
AxisDirectionReversed Property that gets and sets whether the axis direction of the coil is reversed.
AxisEntity Property that gets and sets the entity used to define the axis of the coil. Valid input is either a sketch line or work axis. The axis entity must not intersect the profile.
ClockwiseRotation Property that gets and sets whether the rotation is clockwise or counter-clockwise. A value of True indicates clockwise rotation.
ConsumeInputs Gets and sets whether the inputs to this feature should be nested under this feature in the browser.
EndFlatAngle Property that returns the parameter that controls the flat angle at the end of the coil feature. This property returns Nothing if ExtentType is kSpiral or FlatEndType is False.
EndTransitionAngle Property that returns the parameter that controls the transition angle at the end of the coil feature. This property returns Nothing if ExtentType is kSpiral or FlatEndType is False.
ExtendedName Read-only property that returns the full feature name including any extended information.
Extent Property that returns the object that defines how the extent of the feature is defined. The type of extent object that this property will return can be determined by using the ExtentType property.
ExtentType Property that returns an enum indicating how the extent of the feature is defined. This indicates the type of object returned by the Extent property.
Faces Property that returns a collection that provides access to all of the faces of the feature. The Faces collection object will return the faces that still currently exist in the part. For example, if a face has been consumed by additional modeling operations it will not be returned.
FeatureDimensions Property that returns the FeatureDimensions collection object.
FlatEndType Property that gets and sets the coil end type at the end of the coil feature.
FlatStartType Property that gets and sets the coil end type at the start of the coil feature.
HealthStatus Property that returns an enum indicating the current state of the object.
IsOwnedByFeature Property that returns whether this object is owned by a feature. If True, the OwnedBy property returns the owning feature.
Name Gets/Sets the name of this Part Feature within the scope of this Document.
Operation Gets and sets the type of operation used to add the feature to the model.
OwnedBy Property that returns the owning PartFeature object. This property returns Nothing if the IsOwnedByFeature property returns False.
Parameters Property that returns all the parameters associated with the feature.
Parent Property that returns the parent of the feature.
Participants Property that returns the list of participants for an assembly feature. This list is empty for features in a part.
Profile Property that gets and sets the profile that defines the shape of the coil.
RangeBox Property that returns a Box object which contains the opposing points of a rectangular box that is guaranteed to enclose this object.
Shared Gets and sets whether the part feature is shared or not, applies only to surface features.
StartFlatAngle Property that returns the parameter that controls the flat angle at the start of the coil feature. This property returns Nothing if ExtentType is kSpiral or FlatStartType is False.
StartTransitionAngle Property that returns the parameter that controls the transition angle at the start of the coil feature. This property returns Nothing if ExtentType is kSpiral or FlatStartType is False.
Suppressed Gets and sets whether this feature is suppressed or not.
SurfaceBodies Property that returns the bodies that this feature has created or modified.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
