HI;
HOW I can I get access to the thread parameters of a symbolic thread on a drawing with .net basic in nx7.5?
regards
uwe

RE: .net help in drafting

There might be an easier way, but if the symbolic thread already exists before the .net program runs, you could read in all of the expressions and look for ones that control the symbolic thread.  The symbolic thread automatically creates a bunch of expressions.  You could do it with something simple like:

       Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession
       Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work

       Dim exps As ExpressionCollection = workPart.Expressions
       For Each e As Expression In exps
          'Do something here to weed out the other
          'expressions and capture the symbolic thread
          'expressions.
       Next


Otherwise if the symbolic threads are created in the .net program, just store all the parameters with variables to adjust later.

Hope this answers your question.

thanks PostsumBuddy
not really that what I want.
looking for a direct way to put this information into a dimension/note.
It's a big lack in nx / feature parameter dimensioning is to complex for large drawings.
