NonParametricBaseFeatureDefinition Object
Description
The NonParametricBaseFeatureDefinition is a utility object used for creating, querying, and editing non-parametric base features. A NonParametricBaseFeatureDefinition object can be created using the CreateDefinition method of the NonParametricBaseFeatures collection object. They can also be obtained from existing NonParametricBaseFeature objects.
Properties
| 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. |
| BRepEntities |
Read-write property that defines the geometry to be used for creating the non-parametric base feature. |
| DeleteOriginal |
Read-write property that defines if the original geometry in the construction environment is deleted. |
| IsAssociative |
Read-write property that defines if the copied geometry should be associative to the original geometry. |
| OutputType |
Read-write property that specifies the desired result type. |
| TargetOccurrence |
Read-write property that specifies the desired target Occurrence. |

Samples
| Body Imprinting and matching the results |
This sample is intended to demonstrate a technique of finding the matching surfaces between the original input bodies and output imprinted bodies. This relies on transient keys, which is a unique ID associated with each B-Rep entity. A transient key is only good as long as the model is not recomputed. |
| Associative body copy |
The following sample demonstrates copying bodies (associatively and non-associatively) across parts in an assembly. |
| 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. |
