ComponentDefinition Object
Description
The ComponentDefinition object is the base class for the PartComponentDefinition, AssemblyComponentDefinition and the FlatPattern objects.Methods
| Name | Description |
| FindUsingPoint | Method that finds all the entities of the specified type at the specified location. |
| FindUsingVector | Method that finds all the entities of the specified type along the specified vector using either a cylinder or cone that to define the tolerance within the defined vector. |
| GetUnusedGeometries | Method that gets the unused sketches and work features. |
| PurgeUnusedGeometries | Method that purges unused sketches and work features. |
| RepositionObject | Method that repositions the specifies object(s) to the new position within the collection of the object in the document. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
| 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. |
| BOMQuantity | Property that returns the BOMQuantity object. |
| BOMStructure | Gets and sets how the component is used/viewed in a BOM. |
| ClientGraphicsCollection | Property that returns the ClientGraphicsCollection object. |
| DataIO | Gets the object that directly deals with I/O to and from a storage-medium, including Streams(IStream). |
| Document | Property that returns the containing Document object. |
| ModelGeometryVersion | Property that returns a string that can be used to determine if the document has been modified. This version string is changed every time the assembly is modified. By saving a previous version string, you can compare the current version string to see if the assembly has been modified. |
| Occurrences | Property that returns the collection object. |
| OrientedMinimumRangeBox | Read-only property that returns the oriented minimum range box for this object. |
| PreciseRangeBox | Gets a bounding box that tightly encloses all the solid and surface bodies under the ComponentDefinition. |
| RangeBox | Property that returns a Box object which contains the opposing points of a rectangular box that is guaranteed to enclose this object. |
| SurfaceBodies | Property that returns all of the result SurfaceBody objects contained within this ComponentDefinition. |
| Type | Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type. |

| Translate - Sheet Metal to DXF | The sample code below writes a sheet metal file out as DXF. DWG is also supported. Use either the FLAT PATTERN DWG or FLAT PATTERN DXF formats.There are several optional arguments that can be specified as part of the format string. E.g. 'FLAT PATTERN DXF?TangentLayer=Tangents&SimplifySplines=True'). Below are the names of these arguments and relevant default values. The output will use these values unless you override them as part of the input string.
