    [journal] get/skip HolePackage subfeatures

    Hi, in NX12, when I loop thru workpart.features, I would skip the subfeatures of the holepackage features. As HolePackage is not a ContainerFeature, I cannot use GetAllContainedFeatures method. When it reaches a Threaded Hole feature, it goes into the first branch of "IF", but with the...

    [Journal] 'Rule already exists' Exception

    Hi, on the GTAC, there is a create_and_unite_two_solids vb journal, which is operating with UFModl functions, Modl.CreateBlock1 Modl.CreateCyl1 UniteBodies When I run it the first time, everything is OK. But the second run produces an exception at the first createblock line. Could anyone please...

    [journal] export older parasolid version

    Hi, There are many good VB journals here to export parasolids from NX thru journals, but I need some code to change parasolid version. There is a delay at the CAM supplier, to read the latest parasolid versions. Thanks in advance ---- kukelyk *edited: VB

    Loop thru assembly parts, without update

    Hi, I have a journal, what goes thru the assembly, opens each part, extracts a jpg. How could I switch the model update off? Thanks in advance ---- kukelyk

    Parasolid export / body names

    When exporting an assembly from NX8.5 to parasolid, the body names are in the exported parasolid file. The NX10 does not export name from the same assembly. Is it a feature or a bug? Thanks in advance ---- kukelyk

    Feature based machining - get CSYS of recognized feature

    When find features makes new machining features, they have their own csys. It is very good for 3+2 drilling, but. For drilling, they need a MCS, where the Z direction is the same. If I could winkle the CSYS data out, I could make it automatically.. Is there a way to accomplish it? thanks in...

    Machining data library - drilling

    When I try to add new item to the database, drilling parameters, it gives an error, see attached. What values should I add to cut depth and stepover? Is there any context between the cut depth and the maximum hole depth? How can I store drilling technology data such as step values? My goal is...

    Divide toolpaths by holder

    I have a cavity mill operation, what I generated with the 'check tool and holder' OFF. I thought, that the 'divide by holder' result correct paths, but there are some problems. The dividing only available at transfer, so there are some situations, what can be seen in the attached image. Some...

    VBJournal question - selection etc.

    In my journal, first I make a search for a body, what I store in a variable (as Body) named aBody. When the parent assembly created and the component (ie. Component1) is repositioned, I would like to measure it with some code from the Rohteil.vb of Stefan Pendl. How can I add Component1\aBody to...

    suspect geometry

    How can one find the errors on a model? If examine geometry results are OK both on solid and on body faces, after heal geometry, CAM operations report geometry is still suspect. I tried to extract all the faces and sew again, the result is the same. I remember, there was a dotted bounding box...

    Variable contour path: Max. Tool Axis Change

    We have five axis machines with Heidenhain controls. Could anyone please suggest some values for 'Max. Tool Axis Change' option for semi and finishing paths? Tolerances are +/-0,01mm and +/-0,003mm. (M128 milling) We have large mold parts, where we use turnmilling. Tilting is 10..30 degrees...

    Open files read only

    In our company we use more NX versions, the mold designers use older versions then the CAM programmers. If we do not want to occassionally overwrite the older files we have to copy all the construction to examine. I think there must be a hidden switch, because the CAM templates are opened as...

    speed up ISV

    I am new to ISV. I have a very simplified machine model, and huge mold parts. I have to check collisions between many pairs like head and table, y-slide to table, etc, 7-8 pairs. I found when collision check is on, and some parameters varied, the simulation is much faster, then w/o collision...
