ContourFlangeDefinition Object


Description

The ContourFlangeDefinition object represents all of the information that defines a contour flange feature.

Methods

Name Description
Copy Method that creates a copy of this ContourFlangeDefinition object.
GetWidthExtent Property that returns the PartFeatureExtent object that defines how the width extent of the specified physical contour flange is defined.
GetWidthExtentType Property that returns the method used to define the width extent. The valid values for this property are kWidthEdgeExtent, kWidthWidthExtent, kWidthOffsetExtent, and kWidthFromToExtent.
SetCenteredDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a contour flange that"s centered along the edge and has a defined width.
SetCenteredWidthExtent Method that changes the ContourFlangeDefinition object to define a contour flange that's centered along the edge and has a defined width.
SetDistanceExtent Method that changes the ContourFlangeDefinition object to define a contour flange whose width is defined by a distance from the input Profile.
SetDistanceWidthExtentTwo Method that sets the second direction extent(Distance B) for the distance width extent of the ContourFlangeDefinition.
SetEdgeDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a contour 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 contour flanges.
SetEdgeWidthExtent Method that changes the ContourFlangeDefinition object to define a contour 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 contour flanges.
SetFromToDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a contour flange whose width is defined as being between two entities.
SetFromToWidthExtent Method that changes the ContourFlangeDefinition object to define a contour flange whose width is defined as being between two entities.
SetOffsetDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent to define a contor flange whose width is defined with respect to two entities.
SetOffsetWidthExtent Method that changes the ContourFlangeDefinition object to define a contour flange whose width is defined with respect to two entities.
SetWidthOffsetDefaultWidthExtent Method that sets the default width extent for the contor flange feature to define a contour flange whose width is defined relative to another entity.
SetWidthOffsetWidthExtent Method that changes the ContourFlangeDefinition object to define a contour flange whose width is defined relative to another entity.

Properties

Name Description
AffectedBodies Gets and sets the collection of bodies affected by this feature. If this property is not set for multi-body parts, the default solid body is used as the affected body.
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.
ApplyAutoMitering Defines if auto mitering should be performed.
BendOptions Gets and sets the bend options associated with this contour flange feature.
BendRadius Gets and sets the bend radius of a contour flange feature.
CornerOptions Gets and sets the CornerOptions object that defines how the corners of the contour flange are modeled.
DefaultWidthExtent Property that returns the PartFeatureExtent object that defines how the width extent of the contour flange feature is defined.
DefaultWidthExtentType Property that returns the method used to define the width extent.
DistanceWidthExtentTwo Read-only property that returns the PartFeatureExtent object that defines how the second distance width extent of the contour flange feature is defined.
Edges Gets and sets the EdgeCollection object that contains the edges that are used to define the contour flange feature.
ExtendFaces Specifies if the existing faces will be extended to the bend or if a perpendicular section should be created to connect to the bend.
ExtentDirection Gets and sets the extent direction which indicates which side of the sketch the projection of the flange is in.
IsDistanceWidthExtentAsymmetric Read-only property that returns whether the distance width extent is asymmetric or not.
IsUnfoldMethodOverridden Read-write property that gets and set whether the unfold method has been overridden for this feature. Setting this property to False clears the override. Setting the property to True returns a failure.
MiterGap Gets and sets the miter gap size of the Contour flange feature.
Operation Gets and sets the type of operation used to add the feature to the model. Valid inputs are kNewBodyOperation, kJoinOperation.
Parent Property that returns the parent ContourFlangeFeature of this ContourFlangeDefinition object.
Path Gets and sets the Path object that defines the shape of the contour flange.
SheetMetalRule Read-write property that gets and sets the sheet metal style for the body the feature is in. Set this property is applicable only when the feature is the first feature in a solid body. When set this property the default sheet metal rule will be overridden and.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
UnfoldMethod Gets and sets the UnfoldMethod object that defines how the bends associated with this contour flange feature are unfolded.
UseDefaultSheetMetalRule Read-write property that gets and sets whether to use the document active sheet metal style for the body the feature is in. Set this property is applicable only when the feature is the first feature in a solid body and this can only be set to True from False.
