    Variations of parts and assemblies

    Trying to get my head around Ref Sets and Categories and how they are applied. Here is my current paradigm: In Solidworks you can create "configurations" in parts or assemblies. In parts you could create a config for the purposes of having different size bolts, i.e. lengths, dia's, etc. I see...

    UGNX VB.NET Functionality

    Hi, I'm back with more questions about the VB.NET API for UGNX 3. It is becoming apparent that this API set is not in wide spread use. If anyone has used this I would like to get some info(e-mail, phone. UG is dragging their heels getting us a demo of the API toolset. It sounds like it had less...

    New to UG NX. Took the online course and the Design course. How do you constrain a sketch line to be colinear with a cylinders edge (Silhouette edge) in a sketch. After entering the constraints mode to add the constraint I cannot pick the edge of the model. Do I need to convert the edge? Guy...

    UG NX and VB.NET

    I am not a UG user currently but the company is going to move onto NX soon. I was told by a sales rep in July 2003 that this coming Oct UG would announce a full API set that will work with VB.Net. Has anyone else heard anything to this effect. I am skeptical since UG still supports UNIX and...

I need to modify/add custom properties of objects without making the actual object active or activated on the screen (it is in memory but not visible). I don't want to use the ActivatePart call...

    API Rumination

    Folks, Somewhat of a philosophical question. Since Custom Property names are case sensitive regarding capture via VB & VBA does anyone have a nice clean way of "looking past" the case of a property to grab the value regardless of how it was defined originally (example: Cost, cost...

    API - UNC vs. Mapped path in SW VB extraction

    All you clever systems folks out there: When using the SW API call (GetPathName) it returns the mapped drive for that SW session, on that machine. Is there any way (perhaps subclassing via Windows API) to return the UNC path such that if the data extracted is used elsewhere on the same network...
