Using .NET how can I change the diameter of a circle/arc?

Using .NET how can I change the diameter of a circle/arc?

Using .NET how can I change the diameter of a circle/arc?

(OP)
Hi Guys,

I do have a function already that reads in all NX objects using NX Open and I flag holes that are too small, so now I would like to fix them on the fly, but now I am stuck on how to go about this. I need someone to help guide me in the right direction on this.
 
Any ideas?

If the holes are hole features then it is possible to ask the feature expressions and then change the expression value for the hole diameter.

If this is correct and you still need some help let me know and I will write a small sample journal.

If you are simply looking at changing circle curves then it is also possible to change these.

Regards

I would be interested in both methods but right now the part file I have has no feature or expression associated with the hole. The hole is on SKETCH_005 and its Arc2. This sketch was then extruded and converted to sheet metal.

I am running an NX Open program that found this data while the flat pattern was open. I am hoping I can just add some code to what I have now to make the .25" dia. hole to .5"

I cannot help here.  I don't have the sheet metal module.  In modelling a sketch would still have expressions which can be edited.

Sorry.
