Export measure result (first point & second point) to .txt file?

Export measure result (first point & second point) to .txt file?

Export measure result (first point & second point) to .txt file?

(OP)
Hi,

(sorry for my bad English)
I'm not similar with nxopen but i think(hope) this can be solve by journaling.
I have an assembly and many components. I do clearance check between component1 and other (by measure distance command).
With associative turn on, the measure function will now exist in model history of assembly (not component).
I need a journal to look through the assembly model history to find all measure function and then export X,Y,Z coordinate of first point and second point of all measure result to a .txt(.csv) file.
(attached file below is an example of .txt)

I am using NX 9.0 & TC 10

Please can someone help.
Regards
Anh

That sounds awful.

Have you considered using the "clearance check" functionality that NX provides?

I think that you can get that report from the Clearance Analysis function.

Go clearance analysis - new set, clearance between= components, collections = one, collection one = all objects.
( You can define clearance zones if desired.) Hit OK.
the clearance browser should appear.
RMB the different textlines in this window to see the poosibilities.

RMB the Clearance set :Set1 ( the green ball) - report.

Tomas

Actually I do not need an assembly clearance check here. My goal is to get X,Y,Z of first point and second point of measure result (not need the distance result). Then import this X,Y,Z to excel and perform a comparison with given values.
I have to do this several times. So I want to automate it (my image is when component1 is replaced by component2, all the measure features will be update and I just only bring that new X,Y,Z to excel)

Have you tried the report i described ?
