I've been able to write a function that will re-link a wave linked curve using a single curve selected through the BlockUIStyler's CurveCollector block. Now i want to use the SectionBuilder block instead.
I can't figure out how to set the section of the compositeCurveBuilder using the SectionBuilder's section object. it seems that the compositecurvebuilder only allows you to add a single curve at a time to the existing section.
public static void ReLinkCompositeSection(Part workPart, Part otherPart, String WaveLinkFeatureName, Section otherPartSection, DisplayableObject objectToVerifyDirection)
{
Session theSession = Session.GetSession();
NXOpen.Features.Feature startingCurrentFeature = workPart.CurrentFeature;
NXOpen.Features.CompositeCurve waveLinkFeature = (NXOpen.Features.CompositeCurve)Utilities.GetNamedFeature(workPart, WaveLinkFeatureName);
if (waveLinkFeature != null)
{
workPart.Features.SetEditWithRollbackFeature(waveLinkFeature);
waveLinkFeature.MakeCurrentFeature();
NXOpen.Features.CompositeCurveBuilder compositeCurveBuilder1;
compositeCurveBuilder1 = workPart.Features.CreateCompositeCurveBuilder(waveLinkFeature);
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.PrepareMappingData();
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.DistanceTolerance = 0.001;
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.ChainingTolerance = 0.00095;
compositeCurveBuilder1.FixAtCurrentTimestamp = true;
/*builds section for a single line
//NEED TO REPLACE THIS PORTION OF CODE TO USE the Section input parameter instead of otherPartLine
//curves1[0] = otherPartLine;
CurveDumbRule curveDumbRule1;
curveDumbRule1 = workPart.ScRuleFactory.CreateRuleBaseCurveDumb(curves1);
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.AllowSelfIntersection(false);
SelectionIntentRule[] rules1 = new SelectionIntentRule[1];
rules1[0] = curveDumbRule1;
NXObject nullNXObject = null;
Point3d helpPoint1 = otherPartLine.StartPoint;
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.AddToSection(rules1, otherPartLine, nullNXObject, nullNXObject, helpPoint1, NXOpen.Section.Mode.Create, false);
compositeCurveBuilder1.Associative = true;
*/
NXOpen.Features.Feature frecfeat = otherPart.CurrentFeature;
compositeCurveBuilder1.FrecAtTimeStamp = frecfeat;
//ensure direction is correct
ICurve startElement;
Point3d startPoint;
Vector3d direction;
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.GetStartAndDirection(out startElement, out startPoint, out direction);
Point linkedStartPoint = workPart.Points.CreatePoint(startPoint);
Unit unit1 = (Unit)workPart.UnitCollection.FindObject("Inch");
MeasureDistance Dist;
Dist = workPart.MeasureManager.NewDistance(unit1, NXOpen.MeasureManager.MeasureType.Minimum, objectToVerifyDirection, linkedStartPoint);
if (Dist.Value < .5)
{
//start of wave linked curve should be at opposite side from the start point
compositeCurveBuilder1.Section.ReverseDirectionOfLoop(0);
}
workPart.Points.DeletePoint(linkedStartPoint);
NXObject nXObject2;
nXObject2 = compositeCurveBuilder1.Commit();
nXObject2.SetName(WaveLinkFeatureName);
//map old curve to new curve
Section section1 = compositeCurveBuilder1.Section;
NXObject[] outputs1;
section1.GetOutputCurves(out outputs1);
NXObject[] oldoutputs1;
section1.GetOldOutputCurves(out oldoutputs1);
section1.MapSectionElements((Line)oldoutputs1[0], (Line)outputs1[0]);
section1.CleanMappingData();
compositeCurveBuilder1.Destroy();
//update model
theSession.UpdateManager.InterpartDelay = true;
startingCurrentFeature.MakeCurrentFeature();
}
