Associate Curves to a View

[SRAV]

I have a grip program that creates curves in my drawing file. How can these be associated with the views? I need the curves to move along with the view when I move the view. The grip program cannot be executed in the expand mode or in the model view.

I suspect that GRIP is just not up-to-date enough to account for whether it's creating something in the context of a view or only the body of the Drawing. You're going to have to probably move to a more 'modern' API.

what version of NX are you on ?

Pending the version of NX you're using and assuming you're meaning a blank view that doesn't already exist....

Once the curves are created, you could place a Drawing View (Insert -> View -> Drawing) then copy all of the curves created by the GRIP program. Next, right click on the newly created Drawing View and select Paste from the pulldown. Dimensions, Notes with Leaders and any hatching will not copy over (the hatching might, but it will probably lose associativity). If you delete the Leaders from the Notes, they should copy into the view.
