select by entering tag number or entity number ?
select by entering tag number or entity number ?
(OP)
I dont know if this has been up before or not. Difficult to search .
anyhow, i can read in my NX logfile that either :
"entity[58611] blablabla"
or
"blablabla body (tag: 39539)"
has something wrong .
something is obviously wrong with entity xx or tag yy
now i am curious on which these objects are, can i somehow select entity [58611] or body (tag: 39539)to see which object it is ?
In this particular case i suspect either directly imported solids, or wave linked imported bodies.
one of the messages i receive is "ZERO MASS BODY encountered during weight calculation".
In reverse, if i select a solid body ( select using quick pick, then last line "solid body" and then Ctrl+I, NX will report the tag number.
But, i have some +7500 bodies in this assembly...

Tomas

RE: select by entering tag number or entity number ?
The journal below will allow you to enter a tag number and it will report the object type, the object layer, and it will zoom in on the object. The object will not be selected, but there is a line of code that you can un-comment to highlight the object. The highlighting will probably stay until you use part cleanup to "remove extraneous highlighting". Entering random numbers probably won't end well...
CODE

This is wonderful. I can now find the foul objects.
Thanks,
