    select face

    Need code examples. Didn't see anything on those sites that described how ot select a face with vb rather than the user pre-selecting.

    select face

    I want to programatically select two faces by their name (which are prenamed, so I know the name) and mate the two faces. I am having big trouble programmatically selecting these faces. All examples have a precondition that the objects are preselected. SelectByID2 doesn't seem to pick the...

    Mates

    I am trying to select two cylindrical surfaces to axial mate. These surfaces have know names and I want to select these faces by their name. I try "swmodel.Extension.SelectByID2("A", "FACE", 0, 0, 0, True, 0, Nothing, 0)", but it selects some random face. Any help would be great. I am a beginner!

    capture relations

    still having trouble. Don't think I'm declaring my array properly. This is my only relation applied to my part Dim objRelNuttoScrew as Solidedge.assembly.axialRelations3d = nothing objRelNuttoScrew = objReleations3d.addaxial(objReftoConeInNut, objreftocylinderinscrew, false) This is my...

    capture relations

    Ok, maybe you can help me understand the relationshipcount. Why don't I just need to include the relationship object? IMHO? Thanks,

    capture relations

    Don, Thank you so much for your response. I am fairly new to programming. Could you give me an example line of code for to making this work.

    capture relations

    I am having the hardest time getting anyone to respond on any forum about captured fits. Does anyone know how to programmatically set a geometry type of a part file to be used in capture fit. i can see using solid edge spy that my document (a nut) has a 'capturerelationshipcount' of 1, and a...

    Capture Fit Family of Parts

    I am trying to add my fasteners to the standard parts library, and not all of my fasteners have a captured fit. Is there a way to capture fit the parent and pass it to the child, or any way to automate the process rather than insert each into an assy.

    Standard Parts ST

    I am heading up a project to get all our purchase item component models into the library. We will be doing this on an ST box offline. I plan to copy all the files and start sticking them into the standard parts library, as well as update all missing props and inserting some new ones. Once this...

    Changing Pitch Noise at inlet

    Thanks for your help guys. I'll be mocking up a prototype later this month. I'll be putting your ideas to work. Thanks again.

    Changing Pitch Noise at inlet

    I have been given the task of quieting a vacuum drum on a machine. It's a rotating drum with a pattern of holes covering the entire drum. It rotates around a shaft with a slot in it. Attached is a vacuum pump. This drum sucks and as it rotates advances paper downstream. The sound is very...

    Hole Counting

    When making a hole call out in draft, is there a way for the call out to show the # of holes in the pattern. Instead of having to add it to the note.

    Variable formula

    OK, forget the library part. how would I go about tying the groove OD to the shaft OD. To expand on this, I basically want a feature that can take the shaft diameter and apply the groove OD and width dimensions to suit. My snap ring catalogue gives me the groove OD and width based on the...

    Variable formula

    I am trying to make a feature for a snap ring groove. I'd like to be able to insert a library feature tht will have a formula that checks that my shaft diameter is say if equal to .500", then it'll make my groove diameter A and with B. Any hints on this?

    curves

    Is there a way to make a curve with any number of points but have a finite length assigned to the curve.
