NonParametricBaseFeatures Object


Description

The object represented the base solid that was created when a file was imported into Autodesk Inventor.

Methods

Name Description
Add Method that adds a NonParametricBaseFeature to the collection.
AddByDefinition Method that creates a new NonParametricBaseFeature object.
CreateDefinition Method that creates and returns a NonParametricBaseFeatureDefinition object. This object is not a non-parametric base feature but contains the information that defines one and be used to create a new non-parametric base feature.

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.
Count Property that returns the number of items in this collection.
Item Returns the specified NonParametricBaseFeature object from the collection.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.

Samples

Name Description
SurfaceBody Copy This sample demonstrates copying a surface body from one part to another. This is equivalent to the Promote command, but the API is much more flexible. In order for the sample to be self-contained, it creates two parts on the fly that will be used to demonstrate copying a body from one part to another. When copying a body into a part, you provide the surface body and a matrix to define its position in the new part. This sample creates a matrix based on the position of these parts within an assembly.
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.
Imprint bodies within an assembly. This sample demonstrates creating imprinted bodies from two selected occurrences in an assembly.
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.
Create primitive BRep This sample demonstrates the creation of primitive (solid) BRep.
