Method detail
ConstructionGeometry.Activate() → None
Activate the current object.
ConstructionGeometry.AddComment() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Comment
Creates a new child Comment.
ConstructionGeometry.AddConstructionLine() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.ConstructionLines.ConstructionLine
Creates a new ConstructionLine
