Thank you for your reply.
This appears to be a path in a folder structure. Is that in the GTAC solutions center?
I tried to search on many of the words in the paths you listed but got no hits.
I also tried searching on the word "excel", but those programs are writing out to Excel, not reading...
Where might I find examples of the code and the required declarations?
I am a self taught NX Open VB programmer and still have a shallow understanding of the real guts of VB and its OOP brethren.
So far I have made substantial progress working from journal files and examples in the GTAC code...
I am interested in adding an option to my current part building program to take input from an Excel file.
Currently the program guides the user through selection of existing parts to be imported (sort of like a UDF)and asking for modification inputs.
I would like to add an option to select an...
I do not understand what the heat is about in this thread!
I don't see how there would be a huge productivity gain, although my file structure is pretty simple.
On the other hand I do not see why what he is asking for was not automatically added. The hook to the OS should be really straight...
Have you experimented with the "fixed Text Height" option in the dimensions dialogue in the sketch environment? i set the test height at 4mm and turn on the Fixed Text Height option I have a little trouble with dimensions wandering around a bit but it is a big improvement.
If you ignore the...
John R Baker I am puzzled by your comment that one can always exchange models with CATIA using Parasolids. I have been working in a mixed NX/CATIA environment for over a decade and have never heard of any method of importing Parasolids into CATIA. The closest that we come is sending Parasolids...
Can you describe how this ordering of the file helps you? Since the sketches are already in time stamp order what is the additional benefit of having each sketch on it's own layer?
As a comparison our standard is to have all sketches for a specific part feature on a separate layer. For example...
I would use the Prefer Touch constraint, but under the touch constraint there are four orientation options. Choose the Infer Center axis option. This will keep the pin centered on the tube even if the tube moves or is rotated. The only problem is trying to find the constraint in the list later...
I also work at home for an automotive supplier, using CATIA and NX. I think that the trouble you are likely to run into is with your primary employer. They are very likely to be upset with you doing outside work using the expensive software that they pay for. If you do go forward with this be...
A function that I have been wishing for for a long time is to create a solid by extruding, revolving, or sweeping a solid.
I am still stuck in NX5 so this feature may now exist for all I know.
Yes was going to suggest an interface with some outside application like we do with Excel but I thought that might be forcing the customers hand.
Maybe this could place the image file on a shape template?
A big part of my request is that this be handled like any other part in the assembly...
This is what I requested:
I would like to propose new functionality for the handling of decals.
Decals are parts that are handled in the factory like any other part
I would like to be able to create a 2D part which is the decal.
I would like to see a rich graphical tool set for creating the...
