Design in Context not yet supported [GRIP]

Design in Context not yet supported [GRIP]

Hi,
I've have a fairly simple GRIP program that measures the distance between 2 opposing surfaces. It applys a grid of points on the first surface, then projects those points onto the opposing surface, and measures the distance between each point. The results are printed to the Info Window.

The program runs just fine in NX7.5, but when running in NX4 it get this error:
"Error 1545783 at line 155 in point_thickness"
"Design in Context is not yet supported in this command"

Line 155: newpt = proj/pt(i),on,srf,toler,.0001

The parts can be opened in 7.5, the program ran, and then exported back to 4 but that's time consuming and unnecessary.

Also, proj is suported in NX4 so I don't understand what the issue is.

RE: Design in Context not yet supported [GRIP]

I have the following comment in a GRIP program ...

"Project does not work when the work part is not the displayed part"

That maybe your issue.

NX 6.0.5.3 (NX 8 Testing)
