Method Summary

xintsequence_ptr	GetComponentIds ()

void	SetComponentIds (xintsequence_ptr value)


	The path from the root assembly to the component through various subassembliescontaining this component. Each element of this sequence is an identifierof a component feature in its parent assembly.
xbool	GetIsVisible (optional pfcSimpRep_ptr InRep)


	Returns a flag indicating whether a given component is visible in a simplified representation.
pfcSolid_ptr	GetLeaf ()


	The model associated with the component the path points to
pfcAssembly_ptr	GetRoot ()

void	SetRoot (pfcAssembly_ptr value)


	The root assembly
pfcTransform3D_ptr	GetTransform (xbool BottomUp)


	Retrieves the transformation matrix from the coordinate system of the root assemby to the coordinate system of the model pointed to by the component path, or from the coordinate system of the model to the coordinate system of the root assembly.




void	SetTransform (xbool BottomUp, pfcTransform3D_ptr position)


	Sets the position of the component described by the component path.

pfcTransform3D_ptr

GetTransform

(xbool BottomUp)

Retrieves the transformation matrix from the coordinate system of the root assemby to the coordinate system of the model pointed to by the component path, or from the coordinate system of the model to the coordinate system of the root assembly.

Manual References:

Component Path Information:GetTransform

Parameters:

BottomUp

If you request the transformation from the model to theassembly, this is true. Otherwise, this is false.

Returns:

The transformation matrix

void

SetTransform

(xbool BottomUp, pfcTransform3D_ptr position)

Sets the position of the component described by the component path.

The component will be temporarily moved to the new location without affecting its constraints or actual position. Takes effect only when the assembly is using DynamicPositioning.
