UG NX6 Nee help with a script or macro..
(OP)
Alright guys, here is the situation.
Our company makes automotive checking fixtures using NX6.
We have a bunch of designers who build the assemblies and then a single guy who then takes that file's individual components and details them out for the guys on the floor. (block sizes in drafting, zeros the part for the mill, creates .dxf's from extracted curves, and so on)
Basically he is giving the guys on the floor all the detailed information they need to build the fixture.
I am looking for a way to automate some of this task. I been using macros to repeat exact commands but I don't see how they can be used to do the same task on parts with different parameters. For example: I can record myself going through and extracting all of the edge curves from a part and exporting the resulting lines/arcs as an .iges, but that macro will only work on that part.
Is there a way to repeat the task on an object from a different assembly?
Any help would be awesome,

you can create a command button with it.
RM button on a toolbar, select Customize, then goto command tab and at the bottom of the list there is the possebility the create our own button.
