    Component Creator - with Smart Sorting feature

    Yes, thank you for pointing this out! During testing, I forgot to change the ID name question, so it stayed off. Also, I buried the setting in the Teamcenter section 🤦‍♂️ (I was too focused on making this part fully custom). Apologies for that! If anyone reading this, you don’t need to go deep...

    Fully Automatic Dimension Tool - Length, Width and Thickness

    Hi MrtZcn81! I'm flattered and I'm glad you like the journal. I know how frustrating coding can be at first. Believe it or not, my very first project - the material journal (the EasyWeight main concept) - took me two weeks to develop (banging my head 1000 times), even though I had a good...

    Journal to assign material, and a body colour

    And the codes for the two different approach (I forgot, how annoying it is to leave the site): The simple one - I named it to EasyWeight Material Journal Changes body color, layer and translucency, sets a density value, measures volume, calculates weight, and attributes it: EW_Body_Weight...

    Journal to assign material, and a body colour

    Hey, I just saw your post and request. I actually shared this a week ago on NXJournaling and GitHub. I explored the same path you mentioned, and even went a bit further. You might be interested in the EW_Material line. For an improved solution, consider the NX_Material line, as it turns out you...
