I need to be able to create a bunch of empty dummy parts from a spreadsheet and assert a mass. I adapted a simple journal that creates new parts from a text file list but when I tried to record the "Assert Mass" command, it is not supported by the Journal recorder. I looked at creating a tiny simple block and assigning a density, but the endless debris recorded by journal recorder for creating a block is mind-numbing, and I really prefer the "Weight asserted" flag in the assembly navigator so I would like to avoid that path. I looked a bit at recording a macro and then calling the macro from the journal, but it doesn't seem to work since I have a different mass for each component. I also tried using a keystroke macro program (Macro Express), but (of course), NX commands are inconsistently implemented with keystrokes and NX seems to block execution of the keystroke scripts. I am hoping someone has some ideas out there.
Siemens: Journal is great but limited by it's complexity. Making all commands consistently accessible by keystroke and providing a simple keystroke recorder and playback mechanism would make things so much simpler. Go dust off the I-DEAS program file code. That worked consistently.
