    NX Journal

    You can select the preferred Journal language in Customer Defaults (permanent) and also in user interface preferences (Ctrl+2 - tools - journal, temporarily). NXOpen documentation is available on the Siemens Support Center site ( https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/ ) and needs an access...

    NX Journal

    Yup, the NXOpen API is too "exotic" for AI for it to generate code reliably (not enough questions about it on Stack Overflow I guess). You can get a good structure, but the actual methods that do the stuff you want are just electric sheep. Also, the code is in Basic, if you're getting a C#...

    Help Needed: "Clearance Analysis Object List Contains Invalid Objects" Error in NXOpen

    Going out on a limb here and suggest you filter through the body arrays you get from the components to throw out the invalid ones? Like maybe facet bodies and whatnot.

    Countersink on both sides of hole in NX?

    You can create countersinks on both sides of a Hole feature by activating "Start Chamfer" and "End Chamfer" options. This does not work for counterbores, though. Apparently NX lacks the "End Counterbore" option for its Hole features. On that "fully loaded" Alert I agree with cowski - it...

    Need help decoding meaning of error codes

    Those might be object tags (of the dataset attributes in question), not error numbers... Could there be some mandatory attributes in TC that are now enforced, and are missing in your model? Present in an old revision, but not in the new one?

    Is there a way to make extrude dialog remember the limits options set in the dialogbox

    You mean the Start/End fields resetting to "Value" from other options like "Symmetric" or "Until Next"? Don't think there's a trick here, other than writing and programming your own feature dialog for that.

    show reference sets journal

    There's a Lightweight body that's generated automatically since some NX version later than 7.5 the script was developed in. It's on the MODEL Refset, and I guess it interferes with the object selection part of the journal code.

    Can we attach a solid body through journal in NX part ?

    What do you mean by "attach" and "solid body"? If you mean import a STEP/Parasolid/whatever dumb solid model into a work part and then unite it with existing geometry, then yes. You can record a Journal with the activity you need to perform and just go off that.

    Create Sheet and Drawing templates........................

    It depends on what you want with the template. If it's meant for local use on that machine - go ahead and select "update the pax file" (so you don't need to edit it manually). If it's for distribution to other machines/user roles, there's probably no point in updating the pax file of your...

    Create Sheet and Drawing templates........................

    Given that the pax file is a directory of templates available in the File-New dialog, not updating it will result in your new template not showing up on that dialog.

    Signing NXOpen application.

    When your NXOpen programs grow out of the simple Journal files, Siemens wants you to have the Authoring license to be able to sign your dlls, so that other people can use them. For .net applications, you need to add the NXOpen Signing Resource thingy (UGOPEN\NXSigningResource.res) to your...

    errors in editing

    Also make sure 2306 is updated. It had some trouble with handling STEP models on release (1700).

    NX unite command issue - tool and target do not form complete intersection

    The red dot tells you where the problem is, most likely some sort of distance tolerance issue. You can sometimes "fix" it by twiddling the tolerance value, but a lot of the time it's some sort of geometry problem that you might want to address before this thing is created IRL.

    NxOpen, How to programmatically open a dialog box "Extrude"

    1. Yes, but apparently only the File New and File Open ones. 2. It's possible, but very ugly: https://nxjournaling.com/content/run-macro-inside-c-code

    NX hide command

    You can create a dummy assembly with some basic blocks to show us here, and also verify that this behaviour is reproducible with any model. Otherwise we're reduced to making guesses. Are there any other objects in the assembly, that are overlapping with the hidden assembly components, like...

    What is the VB code to close NX part file?

    You can record NX Journals while performing simple tasks to learn how NXOpen does stuff from these. Recorded Journals tend to get excessively verbose when you record more than a couple simple actions (running the risk of drawing you into cargo-cult programming), but this should be bearable for...
