DerivedPartCoordinateSystemDef Object

Derived from: DerivedPartDefinition Object

Description

The DerivedPartCoordinateSystemDef object allows you to query and define the coordinate system for a derived part, as well as to include and exclude elements and characteristics from the base part to the part to be derived.

Methods

Name	Description
ExcludeAll	Method that causes all entities within the derived part component to be set to kDerivedExcludeAll. Description This method should exclude all solids, surfaces, sketches, 3d sketches, sketch blocks, sketch block definitions, workfeatures, parameters and iMate definitions.
GetCoordinateSystem	Method that returns the coordinate system.
GetScale	Method that returns the scale factors along the x, y and z directions.
IncludeAll	Method that causes all entities within the derived part component to be set to kDerivedIncludeAll.
SetCoordinateSystem	Method that sets the coordinate system.
SetScale	Method that sets the scale factors along the x, y and z directions.

Properties

Name	Description
ActiveDesignViewRepresentation	Read-write property that gets and sets the name of the active Design View Representation for the derived part. An empty string indicates the Master design view is used. The IsAssociativeDesignView property indicates if an associate link to the design view is created or not.
ActiveModelState	Read-write property that gets or sets the name of active model state for the derived part.
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.
DeriveStyle	Gets and sets how bodies are derived. Valid options are kDeriveAsSingleBodyWithSeams, kDeriveAsSingleBodyNoSeams, kDeriveAsMultipleBodies and kDeriveAsWorkSurface.
Finishes	Gets the collection of FinishFeatures available in the selected part along with the inclusion option for each FinishFeature.
iMateDefinitions	Property that gets the collection of iMates available in the selected part along with the inclusion option for each iMate.
IncludeAlliMateDefinitions	Gets and sets whether all iMates are included in the derived part.
IncludeAllParameters	Property that defines whether exported parameters are included in the derived part. This property is initialized to True when the DerivedPartDefinition object is created.
IncludeAllSolids	Gets and sets whether all solids are included in the derived part. Valid input for this property is kDerivedIncludeAll, kDerivedExcludeAll, and kDerivedIndividualDefined.
IncludeAllSurfaces	Property that defines whether all surfaces are included in the derived part. Valid input for this property is kDerivedIncludeAll, kDerivedExcludeAll, and kDerivedIndividualDefined.
IsAssociativeDesignView	Read-write property that gets and sets if there is an associative link to the specified design view.
LinkFaceColorFromSource	Read-write Boolean property that specifies whether to link face color from source component or not.
LinkSheetMetalStyles	Read-write Boolean property that specifies whether to link sheet metal styles or not. This is applicable only when derive another sheet metal document to current sheet metal document.
LinkSketchFormattingFromSource	Read-write Boolean property that specifies whether to link sketch formatting from source component or not.
MirrorPlane	Sets the plane about which the base part will be mirrored to create the derived part.
Parameters	Property that gets the collection of parameters available in the selected part along with the inclusion option for each parameter.
ReducedMemoryMode	Read-write property that gets and sets the Reduced Memory Mode.
Solids	Property that gets the collection of solids available in the selected part along with the inclusion option for each solid.
Surfaces	Property that gets the collection of surfaces available in the selected part along with the inclusion option for each surface.
Type	Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
UseOrientedMinimumBoundingBox	Read-write Boolean property that specifies whether to use the oriented minimum bounding box or orthogonal bounding box for the components that are included as bounding box.
