NonParametricBaseFeature Object

Derived from: PartFeature Object

Description

The NonParametricBaseFeature object represents the feature that is created when a foreign file is translated into an Autodesk Inventor part file. If the foreign file defines a solid, it is read in and used to define the base feature.

Methods

Name	Description
Delete	Method that deletes the feature. The arguments allow control over which dependent objects are also deleted.
DeleteFaces
Edit	Edits the base feature.
ExitEdit	Exits the edit context of the base feature.
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.
Redefine	Method that redefines the geometric contents of a non-parametric base feature.
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.
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.
ConsumeInputs	Gets and sets whether the inputs to this feature should be nested under this feature in the browser.
ExtendedName	Read-only property that returns the full feature name including any extended information.
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.
HealthStatus	Property that returns an enum indicating the current state of the object.
InputSurfaceBodies	Property that returns the underlying SurfaceBody object associated with this feature.
IsAssociative	Property that indicates whether this contents of this base feature are associatively copied from bodies and faces in the assembly.
IsComposite	Property that indicates if the non-parametric base feature is a composite of multiple solids and/or surfaces or is a single solid or surface.
IsOwnedByFeature	Property that returns whether this object is owned by a feature. If True, the OwnedBy property returns the owning feature.
IsSolid	Indicates whether this base feature is a solid or surface.
Name	Gets/Sets the name of this Part Feature within the scope of this Document.
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.
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.
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.

Samples

Name	Description
Transient surface body creation	The following sample demonstrates the creation of a transient surface body consisting of a single rectangular face. The body is created in transient space and then copied over to a part document as a base feature.
Create primitive BRep	This sample demonstrates the creation of primitive (solid) BRep.
