    P-Values for Analysis -> Mass Properties?

    I have text that displays the part mass in modeling so I can see it update as I work. I'd also like to do that with the centroid and Moment of Inertia Values but I'm not sure how to make an associative relationship. This was easy to do with Part Mass. I just did an associative Body Measurement...

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    cowski, Works like a charm... Thanks a million! You've never left me hanging. Do appreciate it. If you're ever in Chicago, I owe you a beer!

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    cowski, That worked great. I appreciate it. One thing I failed to mention though is that the "DWG_STATUS_TAB" I'm trying to delete actually exists on multiple drawing sheets. When I run this, it only deletes the tab on the first sheet. I have to run it again for it to delete it on the next. Is...

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    Clarification... I know how to group them together, just not sure how to call out the delete. Let's say I combined them into a group called "DWG_STATUS_TAB", how would I delete?

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    cowski, I get an error saying No object found with this name. What I did was recorded a journal, selected the lines and notes, deleted, and stopped recording. I'm pretty sure it just can't find the specified objects in every file. The if/then statement is simple... strDWG_STATUS =...

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    I can get this to work with the majority of files, but the occassional one does not work and I'm not sure why. I have a simple if/then statement that if a part attribute has a certain value, then to delete three curves and four notes from two separate sheets within a drawing. These curves and...

    PDF Export Journal

    Cowski, Thanks for your help! I figured it was a simple naming convention I was missing. You always pull through!

    PDF Export Journal

    Hello All, I've written NX Journals to export the current drawing sheet as a .pdf with no problem. dim shtName as string = workPart.DrawingSheets().CurrentDrawingSheet.Name() Dim sheets1(0) As NXObject Dim drawingSheet1 As Drawings.DrawingSheet =...

    GM deactivating TC login ID

    Several months back, my GMID was deactivated. I never really found the reason as to why that happened. Unfortunately I had to go back to my company's security administrator and go through the entire GMID account process in aquiring a NEW account. Good luck.

    NX/Visual Studio compatibility

    I am currently running NX8 and am looking to get Visual Studio so I can further my programming ability with NX Open. I know NX8 is compatible with Visual Studio 2010, however I see that 2012 is already out. Does anyone know if VS 2012 is, for sure, compatible with NX8? If it is, I'll proceed...

    Journal to Add Titleblock Pattern

    I'm not sure about using the Master Model. This is how IT has it setup. Our format file does have "master" under the Relationship heading when going File -> New (might not be the same thing). I saw there is the new tools for drawing templates, just haven't quite figured out how they work. Is...

    Journal to Add Titleblock Pattern

    My apologies, we just upgraded to NX8.0.1.5. We have our "format" file that we use via the File -> New dialog. We'll generally create our model in the format file, then go into drafting and run our grip to determine which pattern needs added. I assume by using the drawing templates, you're...

    Journal to Add Titleblock Pattern

    For years now, we've always used GRIP programming to retrieve a pattern that was our titleblock in which we populated with attributes. Our design department is looking to completely re-vamp our titleblock with a new improved one. Whenever possible, we are trying to eliminate our old GRIP...

    Section Line in NX6

    Nevermind, figured it out. By right-clicking on the section view and going to style, you toggle the display section line box. If it is already checked, which it was in my case, uncheck, apply, re-check and OK and your line will be there.

    Section Line in NX6

    OK, so I know that you can no longer toggle off section line display in NX6. They want us to use Hide instead. My question is, when you open a file that was created in a previous version and the section line display was toggled off, how do you bring it back?
