Java (or by hand): How do I get the bounding box fora component?

Java (or by hand): How do I get the bounding box fora component?

Java (or by hand): How do I get the bounding box fora component?

(OP)
I have an Assembly. Say it is this:
A
+--B
   +--C
 

B s the work part. I want the bounding box for C in absolute coordinates.

How do I do this?

RE: Java (or by hand): How do I get the bounding box fora component?

You have to use UFFltr.AskBoxOfAssy method. There are few examples on GTAC solution center.

Wow, that method is awesome!

Thanks!

This solution seems to always give the orientation matrix back which is fine for my case. Is there any way to have NX provide an optimized solution with a non orientation matrix and smaller bounding box?

Search for 'show best assembly bounding box' on GTAC solution center.

'show best assembly bounding box' provided a nice solution.

But sometimes NX will show an optimized bounding box on fit (ctrl-f). This action is VERY fast. How do I get that functionality in code?
