Parameters
----------
name
A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.
region
A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied.
When used with a TopologyTask, there is no default value. When used with a ShapeTask,
the default value is MODEL.
csys
None or a DatumCsys object specifying the local coordinate system. If *csys*=None, the
global coordinate system is used. When this member is queried, it returns an Int. The
default value is None.
mainPoint
None or a Region object specifying the main point used when *mainPointDetermination* is
SPECIFY. The default value is None.
mainPointDetermination
A SymbolicConstant specifying the rule for assigning point priority. Possible values are
MAXIMUM, MINIMUM, and SPECIFY. The default value is MAXIMUM.
movementRestriction
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether movement in the region should follow only the
direction of the *mainPoint*, only the magnitude, or both the magnitude of the
*mainPoint* and the directions specified by *u1*, *u2* and *u3*. Possible values are
DIRECTION, MAGNITUDE, and VECTOR. The default value is VECTOR.
presumeFeasibleRegionAtStart
A Boolean specifying whether to ignore the geometric restriction in the first design
cycle. The default value is ON.
u1
A Boolean specifying whether movement in the region should follow the *masterPoint* in
the 1-direction. This is used when *movementRestriction* is VECTOR. The default value is
ON.
u2
A Boolean specifying whether movement in the region should follow the *masterPoint* in
the 2-direction. This is used when *movementRestriction* is VECTOR. The default value is
ON.
u3
A Boolean specifying whether movement in the region should follow the *masterPoint* in
the 3-direction. This is used when *movementRestriction* is VECTOR. The default value is
ON.
Returns
-------
A DesignDirection object.
