DCS Log file

DCS Log file

DCS Log file

(OP)
For the GM version of UGS, is there a way to
1. Output a text file of the DCS log
2. Edit and re-import the new values into NX

i.e. by-pass the DCS entry dialog box?

If not, is there a way to write some code to do this?

Thanks
Sarvajit

 

RE: DCS Log file

They way we do it is we open the DCS dialog box, click the "Print to information window" icon, and do "file" - "save as" - "filename.txt". As far as editing goes, most of the information in the DCS log comes from the part attributes. You can try editing those.

Thank you.

Is there a way to edit the text file and re-import the file so that components in the assembly gets these attributes? e.g. Name of the engineer is changed in the text file, re-imported into NX and affects the title-block?

RE: DCS Log file

It's all done with attributes. If you're working with a Native version you can just cut and paste the attributes from one file to another.

If you're using teamcentre, which I doubt because you'd be supported with the right software, then you can't do this for all of the values.
