    NX Open - Ref sets

    I'm trying to get the list of ref sets for each part open in my session. So far I've only been able to find how to create a new ref set. Anyone managed to do this? Mark Benson Aerodynamic Model Designer To a Designer, the glass was right on CAD.

    Selection Mask Journalling Problem

    I'm using a selection mask to allow users to select objects from the screen. I'd like to allow the selection of a type of object eg face but not have it selected in the object type in the selection dialog until the user goes in and changes which objects to select. I've seen this done in bulit...

    Re-Order Reference Sets

    Is there any way of re-ordering the list of reference sets in a part other than removing them all and re-creating them in the order you want them displayed? Mark Benson Aerodynamic Model Designer

    Helix along a curve

    I'm trying to create a spiral groove around an oval hole. The hole follows a curved path. My plan at the moment is to try and create some sort of helix or law curve to project onto the surfaces to create this. Anyone have any ideas how to create a helix that lies on a curve rather than a line...

    Strange References in UDF

    I'm currently trying to put together a set of UDFs I'm noticing some odd behaviour with cretain features in UDFs. First problem If I use a curve projection and project a curve onto a face the only reference required is the face to project onto (I've got the projection vector and the curve...

    Journalling (VB.Net) - Save As in TCE

    Anyone know how to change the default container (current working directory) when performing a save as using journalling/NXOpen. Currently If I perform a save as programatically it will save the part in the last folder that was used for a user "open" or "save as" command. I know it's easy enough...

    Journalling (VB.Net) - Running a Macro in a journal

    Can you run a macro in a journal and if so what is the command? Alternatively to not use the macro does anyone know how to edit current features in a journal. It seems straight forward to create new geometry but editing it doesn't seem to be supported. Thanks in advance, Mark Benson...

    Journal (.NET) Remove Parameters Command

    Folks, It's a long shot as I can't find any documentation for this in the help docs. Anyone know of a nx open command to remove parameters in ug. I've tried recording a journal but this is un-supported. The only thing I can think of is that they've called it something else in the docs. Any help...

    Modifying Original Deformable Part

    I'm currently working on a deformable part that will be used to drive standard sections for some of our components. I've found a glitch in the part due to not dimensioning the length of a reference line in an early sketch. Can I now save the part as it has already been used and is a component in...

    Sectioning Surfaces in Drafting

    I'm currently trying to set up some standard drawings that I can add and remove parts into and generate drawings quickly. The drawings are generally 1 or 2 views with sections through parts at pre defined sections. The problem I am facing is that these parts tend to be only surface geometry and...

    Setting Snap to View (F8) For the Spacepilot

    Noticed in a thread that someone wanted to set a button to snap to nearest view (F8)on the SpacePilot Stumbbled on it when I was looking for something else. Under 3DxNX>Button Mappings Its in the Help>Online Support area>Snap View There are a few other useful mappings here also. I'm guessing...

    "Best Practice" Modeling

    I am currently trying to develop a stratergy for training & guiding users on "best paractice" CAD modelling in UG. To beter understand this I want to find out if there are any low level (CPU time & memory usage) advantages to keeping the number of features in the model tree to a minimum. An...

    Take Ownership on Save (File permissons like UNIX)

    Has anyone found a way of getting file permissions in windoze to act like Unix? We have more than one user working on the same assy's at any one time. If they hit save in the assy it will save all components UG thinks are modified including files that other users may be working on. This can...

    Part attributes in a Journal

    I'm trying to write a journal that manipulates part attributes. I can easily write to an attribute by recording the journal and editing the code created but am having difficulty understanding how to ask for information on a current attribute and assign it to a variable. I've been looking through...

    Icon Bitmaps NX3

    I'm trying to generate some customised menus. What I want to do is use some of the UG default icons and modify them slighlty so I can tell these are no longer the default ones. I've found the bitmaps in a .bma file which looks like an archive/array of all the bitmaps in 1 file. Does anyone know...

    Grip with a file browser window

    I'm trying to create a grip program and ideally it want's to have a file browser (similar like the window you get when you create a new part) instead of having to type in the path. Has anyone come across a way of doing this. Thanks in advance, Mark Benson CAD Support Engineer Mark Benson CAD...

    Deformable or flexible components

    I'm trying to use deformable parts. I've created a spring that has an expression to control the length. I have 2 datum planes at either end of the spring (these update with the length). I want to mate other components to the datumns to move my assy if the spring lenght is changed. When I add the...

    Viewing Raster Images on Dwg sheets

    Has anyone come across software or any other solution to import a raster image into ug to be viewed on a drawing sheet. The application is artwork to be screen printed onto a moulding that needs to be displayed on the drawing as reference (no dimensioning of the artwork required). I can get a...
