I am trying to get a journal to cycle through an assembly with no luck. I get the error: "Failed: NXOpen.NXException: This operation can only be done on the display part at NXOpen.Layer.LayerManager.GetAllObjectsOnLayer(Int32 layer)" I am assuming I need to make the prototype...

Is there a way to find out what layers are included in a reference set? Is it possible to write a journal to list all reference sets and the layers included in each? Thanks, Kevin

Curious if anybody can explain the differences between a traditional catia license and a plm express license. Pros and cons between the two? Thanks Kevin

I am doing some surfacing and I am getting an error that I do not understand. It seems to only effect "Variable Fillet. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Error: "Feature Definition Error" "In-Out Cycle detected in feature structure" Thanks, Kevin V5R22

Is it possible to use a macro to export multiple step files from a single catpart? I surface for our simulators and they want each tool(sheet) as a separate step file. Using a typical draw die, I would have a single upper sheet and two lower sheets. I would have them named "Upper_Cavity"...

I am trying to get a journal to report file paths of all components contained within the RootComponent, whether they a loaded or not. I started with some code I found on NXJournaling.com that lists the names of all the files. I have been unable to convert a component to a part so I can use...

Has anybody noticed any issues when dealing with step files created in NX? A co-worker and I have started having issues with catia not responding(and never coming back) and have saving issues. It all seemed to start when we started step files out of NX and import them into Catia. Any help would...

Can a journal be used to start/open an NX command? I am looking to import step214 files. I would like the journal to open the dialog box with some of the setting set by the journal. Then the user only has to browse to the file location. Thanks, Kevin

One of my responsibilities is surfacing for our simulation dept. The surfacing can be done in NX or another software, any surfacing done in the other software is imported into our NX assembly and exported from there to AutoForm. We have found that exporting step files seems to be the most stable...

Can the Information Window be used to do more than just display information? Could simple math be done within the window? If I measure the length of two lines, the results are displayed in Information Window. Can I copy/paste the two results so that I could add or subtract the length values...

I have a journal that creates a basic assembly based on some user inputs. How do I point my journal to use a specific template file for creating the new components? And, where do I need to save my template file? Change fileNew1.TemplateFileName = "assembly-mm-template.prt" to...

Can anybody help me with this? I am working on a journal that that checks for specific reference sets and if found it clears them of all objects. Then I create and/or populate them with user selections. The problem I am having is that the program works fine if it has to create the reference...

I am trying to add some code to my journal that would exit the sub when the user presses "Cancel". Below is the code, it won't get past the inputbox line when the "Cancel" button is pressed so I can't check the value. '----------USER...

Can anybody tell me what is required to write Macros and VB Reactions and what is required to run them? I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime(x64) and Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2013 SDK Thanks, Kevin Catia V5R22 Windows 7

Windows updates tried installing last night and this morning the computer was stuck on installing 3 of 3. We powered it down, when it came back up everything seemed to be fine except catia can't find our license server. Those that didn't install the updates are working fine. Any ideas as to what...

I have no problem translating or importing catia V5 files in NX8 but a co-worker can not. He is using the same NX license bundle that I am, customer defaults in translator section are the same and he even tried my role. There must be something we are missing, anybody have any ideas?? Thanks...

I am still relatively new to NX, any help is greatly appreciated. Is there an easy way to create a tangent transition between the face of one solid to the face of another? Right now I create individual surfaces, sew them and unite the three solids together. A function similar to what...

At a previous employer they had a catscript that was used to combine two txt files into one that could be used for "Displacement Definition" in the "Realistic Shape Optimizer". I didn't think it was a custom program, does anybody know if Dassault has a catscript out there that does this...

I have a couple of questions in regards to using Global Deformation: If a points file is used do I still need a vector? Or does Global Deformation ignore the vector? Is there a program out there that combines two exported AutoForm files into a text document that Global Deformation can use...

Is there a way to get individual face names of a surface to be applied to a bock that has been trimmed by that sheet? It seems to work fine with wave linked boolean operations. The reason I am asking is because we use Work-Nc for toolpathing and so everything needs to be color coded. We have a...
