I am looking to create a journal that will turn on specific layers for the user, allow the user to view the model at different angles, advance to a next step with new layers turned on, and repeat until the user has reviewed all necessary layers.
As an example, when the user runs the journal...
Cowski and others have helped me in the past to create a journal that would locate and edit the names of multiple expressions in a given part. I would like to do something similar with expression values. Basically I want the journal to locate all expressions with a specified value, then change...
How difficult would it be to take all points, lines, bodies, everything from all layers and move them from a defined CSYS to the part's absolute coordinate system? This would essentially automate the process of doing a 'Move Object' function of the 'CSYS to CSYS' variety and selecting everything...
I am looking to add to a journal to create some datum CSYS.
Currently, the journal will path to and import two text files. The first text file contains coordinates for three sets of points that are used to create a plane. Big shoutout to FrankSwinks for helping me with that task in this...
Is there a function that can be used in a journal to unite all bodies on a given layer? We often have scenarios where we copy all bodies in view to a single layer and then unite all and I am looking to automate this process. I already know how to automate the copying portion, and am hoping that...
I am trying to use journaling to automate the export of a step file from a part. Our company produces one-off products that are exported to a step file with objects on specific layers broken down like this:
Layer 1 - Solids
Layer 4 - Solids
Layer 5 - Solids
Layer 41 - Lines
Layer 44 - Points...
I am looking to create a datum plane from three points in a text file. I recorded a journal of making a datum plane with three points already in a part file, but the journal was very large with a lot of expression variables and other things that didn't seem necessary.
In the following thread...
In our master part, we routinely import between 2 and 10 parts in various locations, depending on the application. Each of these imported parts are reused often and each contains two expressions that I would like to use to auto-fill multiple values in a table in the master part drawing.
The...
I am looking to automate the process of changing the color of a point cloud (imported from an iges file) located on a specific layer. When I step through a journal of this processes, each point is individually selected with its coordinates displayed, which is a problem because every file will...
