Part Properties

The Part type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AllowanceMaxX	Gets the maximum allowance (material margin) in the X direction for safe machining operations.
	AllowanceMaxY	Gets the maximum allowance (material margin) in the Y direction for safe machining operations.
	AllowanceMinX	Gets the minimum allowance (material margin) in the X direction for safe machining operations.
	AllowanceMinY	Gets the minimum allowance (material margin) in the Y direction for safe machining operations.
	CalibrationSize	Gets the calibration size dimension used for precision alignment and dimensional verification.
	Code	Gets the code identifier for the part used in manufacturing systems and part tracking.
	Covers	Returns the collection of Cover objects that define finishing layers applied to the part surfaces. Covers specify material type (paint, edge band, veneer, vacuum film, or multilayer), thickness, and geometric boundaries for precise placement on workpiece faces. Each cover in the collection represents a distinct finishing operation with its own material properties and application boundaries.
	Length	Gets the length dimension of the part.
	MaterialCode	Gets the material code identifier for sourcing and material specification purposes.
	MaterialGrainDirection	Returns the Vector that defines the direction of material grain. The grain direction influences cutting strategies.
	MaterialName	Gets the material name of the part.
	Name	Gets the user-displayable name of the part.
	OutlineEdges	Returns the collection of OutlineEdge objects that define layers applied to the outline edges. Outline edge covers specify material name, code and thickness, and geometric boundaries for precise placement on workpiece sides.
	PositionNumber	Gets the position number. This is the value of Inventor.BOMRow.ItemNumber (Parts Only BOM) property.
	Thickness	Gets the thickness dimension of the part.
	Width	Gets the width dimension of the part.
