    NXopen and Versions of NX Query

    Hi, I've got a query regarding NXopen and versions of NX, I'm hoping somebody code clarify for me: If you write an NXopen dll that let's say offsets a surface and you have referenced NXopen.dll from version 7.5 and called it MyOffsetSurface.dll. If you then run your dll in say NX8 but are...

    Find MCS used for CAM Operation in NX Open

    Thanks for the reply Mark, I was hoping there was a direct way of getting hold of it. I knife and forked something together that does the job, albeit a bit clunky if you ask me! Here is some code for anybody needing it...You could probably use a While Loop rather than some IF statements to work...

    Find MCS used for CAM Operation in NX Open

    Can anyone shed any light on how to get the name of the MCS used in an operation in NX Open (vb.net)?? I tried theUFsession.Param.AskTagValue(myoperation.tag, 59, tvalue) which fills a tag value of what I thought whas the MCS. I then just thought I would need to extract the name using...

    Visual studio not recognizing NX imports

    From you saying the NX imports, I'm guessing you mean you have lines at the top of your code such as: "Imports NXOpen" and "Imports NXOpen.UF", but have you actually referenced the NX dll's in your vb project? If you are unsure...If you click on the "References" tab in visual studio on the...

    NX8.5. How to add user pause into the journal file

    Looking at your journal I can't see where you have any user inputs. Am I missing something here? How do you want your journal to be interactive with the user...eg pick the face, put the number of curves in etc etc??? If so, doesn't the "out of the box" NX command give you this already or are you...

    tool path

    I'm not sure if there is a "correct" way of doing it but maybe you could split the operation up into indivual op's for each pass and then reverse the drive curve direction for every other one. You will just have to play with the non-cutting moves for the intermediate ones so you don't have any...

    Points transformation

    I have just knocked up a journal to create parametric points on a face and then pass each 1 through the transformation you require. The journal displays temporary black points on your existing face and green ones to where they move to. I'm not sure if that is what you are after...if it is then...

    how to run .exe file in nx C# windows external application

    It sounds like you will need to utilize the remoting that Siemens have made available. You will find an example in the UGOPEN/samples. It basically starts up NX with a port open. This port allows you access via an external program. I would start off with simple things like opening a part just to...

    Block Styler Clear Memory

    I presume you mean things like text boxes , check boxes etc? If so, for each item in your block style form, go to "other" in the properties and you will find an option for "Retain Value" - you probably have this as "true" at the moment. Having said that, I have had instances where it just won't...

    Check Requirements - interrogate via NXOPEN

    Hi, I have created a part (NX7.5) in which I have created some Check Requirements linked to measurements within the part. If after applying some expressions to the part that break the check rules I see a red cross in the Check area in the part navigator. I've tried journaling the creation of...
