rename NX CAM operations

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.

Hi aer73,

Nice job, I will see this new post.

Thanks.

RE: rename NX CAM operations

We provide a vb sample to rename multiple operations. This should be a great starting point for what you want to do.

Look for Take a look at the sample in your installation. Take a look at
UGOPEN\SampleNXOpenApplications\.NET\CAM\RenameOperationsOntSelection.vb

Hi Mark,

Needs some customization, but looks pretty nice for renaming the

CAM strategies.

Thanks for the UGOPEN directory I didn't know it.

Hi,

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

The RenameOperationsOntSelection.vb works as it should. I want to select a group of tool paths (no matter what they are called) and name as Diag Cut 1, Diag Cut 2 ect?
I use NX for programming grinding paths. Each pass of the grinding wheel is another operation and I have hundreds of them.

Hi bigguy136,

I want the same as you... but just select 1 or 5 toolpaths,
its the same and rename them with a counter.
