Need code examples. Didn't see anything on those sites that described how ot select a face with vb rather than the user pre-selecting.

I want to programatically select two faces by their name (which are prenamed, so I know the name) and mate the two faces. I am having big trouble programmatically selecting these faces. All examples have a precondition that the objects are preselected. SelectByID2 doesn't seem to pick the...

i edit the names of the faces to a name for use later, i'd like to use the new face name if possible

I am trying to select two cylindrical surfaces to axial mate. These surfaces have know names and I want to select these faces by their name. I try "swmodel.Extension.SelectByID2("A", "FACE", 0, 0, 0, True, 0, Nothing, 0)", but it selects some random face. Any help would be great. I am a beginner!

still having trouble. Don't think I'm declaring my array properly. This is my only relation applied to my part Dim objRelNuttoScrew as Solidedge.assembly.axialRelations3d = nothing objRelNuttoScrew = objReleations3d.addaxial(objReftoConeInNut, objreftocylinderinscrew, false) This is my...

Ok, maybe you can help me understand the relationshipcount. Why don't I just need to include the relationship object? IMHO? Thanks,

Don, Thank you so much for your response. I am fairly new to programming. Could you give me an example line of code for to making this work.

I am having the hardest time getting anyone to respond on any forum about captured fits. Does anyone know how to programmatically set a geometry type of a part file to be used in capture fit. i can see using solid edge spy that my document (a nut) has a 'capturerelationshipcount' of 1, and a...

I am trying to add my fasteners to the standard parts library, and not all of my fasteners have a captured fit. Is there a way to capture fit the parent and pass it to the child, or any way to automate the process rather than insert each into an assy.

How do I work around fasterner system tellilng me it cant place fasteners due to the standard. I see an option to pick custom. How does one edit.

I am heading up a project to get all our purchase item component models into the library. We will be doing this on an ST box offline. I plan to copy all the files and start sticking them into the standard parts library, as well as update all missing props and inserting some new ones. Once this...

Thanks for your help guys. I'll be mocking up a prototype later this month. I'll be putting your ideas to work. Thanks again.

I have been given the task of quieting a vacuum drum on a machine. It's a rotating drum with a pattern of holes covering the entire drum. It rotates around a shaft with a slot in it. Attached is a vacuum pump. This drum sucks and as it rotates advances paper downstream. The sound is very...

When making a hole call out in draft, is there a way for the call out to show the # of holes in the pattern. Instead of having to add it to the note.

Awesome. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
