    CATIA Macro for Assembly Constraints

    Hi, If the links in the previous replies will help you getting the VBA objets and methods to do it, you also need to make your sub-assembly "not rigid". If it is rigid, then you can't constraint more than one bolt to parts outside of that sub-assembly. (You can, but it won't update in CATIA if...

    Get the program's name

    Dear all, On Heidenhain TNC640, I get the full name of the main program like so : QS1 = SYSSTR( ID10010 NR1 ) On iTNC530, this doesn't work. Do you know another way of getting this information on those older versions? Regards, Thierry

    CLSF generation process

    I think this module is not free, and is actualy an built-in postprocesor. What I use is the CLSF generator (available in the manufacturing module), which generates a CL file. This file must then be treated by an external postprocessor to create the NC program.

    CLSF generation process

    Hello all, I've learned on my own to edit the tcl files (in the "tool_path" subfolder) in order to customize/debug the CLSF generation on NX 1942. Thanks to the tcl wiki site, I have understood the tcl principles but I'm now limited by my not understanding the global process of the generation ...

    UDE managing in a program (VB)

    So far, I can get the program (CAMObject) from the list of programs (NCGroup). But now I'm stuck : I found some intresting things in the NXOpen class librairy, but I don't know at all how to implement them : NXOpen.CAM.Ude / UdeList / UdeSet (…) classes look promising, don't they ?

    UDE managing in a program (VB)

    Hi all, In the manufacturing environnement of NX, I would like to add, destroy and modify start UDEs of a program. In the example below, I'd like to change "DISPLY/PART NAME = FLANGE" into "DISPLY/PART NAME = FITTING" => If I find a start UDE that contains "DISPLY/PART NAME = " then I modify...
