I have text that displays the part mass in modeling so I can see it update as I work. I'd also like to do that with the centroid and Moment of Inertia Values but I'm not sure how to make an associative relationship.
This was easy to do with Part Mass. I just did an associative Body Measurement...
I can get this to work with the majority of files, but the occassional one does not work and I'm not sure why.
I have a simple if/then statement that if a part attribute has a certain value, then to delete three curves and four notes from two separate sheets within a drawing. These curves and...
Hello All,
I've written NX Journals to export the current drawing sheet as a .pdf with no problem.
dim shtName as string = workPart.DrawingSheets().CurrentDrawingSheet.Name()
Dim sheets1(0) As NXObject
Dim drawingSheet1 As Drawings.DrawingSheet =...
I am currently running NX8 and am looking to get Visual Studio so I can further my programming ability with NX Open. I know NX8 is compatible with Visual Studio 2010, however I see that 2012 is already out. Does anyone know if VS 2012 is, for sure, compatible with NX8? If it is, I'll proceed...
For years now, we've always used GRIP programming to retrieve a pattern that was our titleblock in which we populated with attributes. Our design department is looking to completely re-vamp our titleblock with a new improved one. Whenever possible, we are trying to eliminate our old GRIP...
OK, so I know that you can no longer toggle off section line display in NX6. They want us to use Hide instead. My question is, when you open a file that was created in a previous version and the section line display was toggled off, how do you bring it back?
Hello all,
Just upgraded to NX6 yesterday! Only thing I'm not seeing is the icon to edit crosshatch boundary. In the past, If i needed to place a dimension or ID symbol over crosshatching, I could then edit the boundary and add the dim/symbol and it would just x-hatch around it rather than...
I have written a journal that automates exporting .pdf drawings to a specified location. As of now, I just export the "current display" (doing a view -> fit beforehand). However, I need to revise this to export the sheet, rather than the display. How can I revise this to automatically export a...
I want to write some journals that automate the export of solid models. Parasolids are the preferred type we would like to automate. Is this possible? I don't see a parasolid export as an option for NX5 or NX6. We will be upgrading to NX7.5 mid-summer.
I'm writing a journal that will essentially "wipe a titleblock clean" in the case I am doing a quick Save As of an existing cad file. I need to figure out a way to delete everything on layer 249 in a journal. Any ideas?
As of this morning, the font changed in NX5. The File, Edit, View, etc. menus are now italicized and a little harder to read. Anyone know how/why this happened and how it can be fixed?
I think this is really not an issue but a small dispute between some co-workers.
First off, when you have only one section view on a drawing with a section line displayed in the main view, must a section view label (i.e. SECTION A-A) be applied or is it okay to omit the label because of only one...
Currently, we export drawings into an Electronic Data Management System using GRIP. Drawings are released into .hgl format. Is there a way to automate an export of these drawings as .pdf?
Does anyone know when NX plans to include the new Dimensioning & Tolerancing spec in their program? I've been told that NX7 is set to be released this summer and was curious if anyone knew if it would be included.
