rename NX CAM operations
rename NX CAM operations
(OP)
Hi
I want to generate, a .VB program for renaming the CAM operations on NX.
I mean, if I have an operation, mill_workpiece and I copy it several times, mill_workpiece_copy,mill_workpiece_copy_copy etc.
I want to rename it as mill_workpiece_1, mill_workpiece_2 and mill_workpiece_3. I want to take out the _copy, copy_copy etc for the operations.
Thanks.

I have uploaded an example of renaming operations.
instead of copy and copy_copy, can be 1, 2, 3 etc

Needs some customization, but looks pretty nice for renaming the
CAM strategies.
Thanks for the UGOPEN directory I didn't know it.
RE: rename NX CAM operations
How can I add a counter to rename X selected operations in NX tree?
I have tried to customize this code with no luck.
The point is that I want to rename directly selected operations,
for example 3 selected operations,
rough_mill_1,rough_mill_2,rough_mill_3 etc.
Enter counters an rename directly the NX CAM strategies.
I am not VB programmer.
Thanks.
RE: rename NX CAM operations
I use NX for programming grinding paths. Each pass of the grinding wheel is another operation and I have hundreds of them.
RE: rename NX CAM operations
I want the same as you... but just select 1 or 5 toolpaths,
its the same and rename them with a counter.
