VBJournal question - selection etc. 1

kukelyk · Jun 18, 2013

In my journal, first I make a search for a body, what I store in a variable (as Body) named aBody.
When the parent assembly created and the component (ie. Component1) is repositioned, I would like to measure it with some code from the Rohteil.vb of Stefan Pendl.
How can I add Component1\aBody to the variable 'bod'?

Code:

 dist(iCount) = ses.Measurement.GetMinimumDistance(bod,_
NXObjectManager.Get(tPlane), selpnt(0), selpnt(1), accu)

Thanks in advance..

The variable bod is a parameter passed into the GetMinimumDistance function. You can replace it with a different variable of your choosing, such as aBody.

This version of GetMinimumDistance takes 5 parameters: 2 objects, 2 points, and a double. The 2 objects are inputs, the objects you want to measure the distance between; the 2 points and accuracy values are outputs, values returned from the function that tell you about the minimum distance calculated.

Thanks, but my problem is not this..
I have the body at the component part, but when I am in an assembly (after create parent), where I have the component by its name, I cannot pass the body of the component to the GetMinimumDistance function..
Or can I?
I would like to avoid to search the body again.
The Journal recording use Findobject(). But I read that it is preferably not to use at programming.

Code:

Dim component1 As Assemblies.Component = CType(workPart.ComponentAssembly.RootComponent.FindObject("COMPONENT model13 1"), Assemblies.Component)

Dim body1 As Body = CType(component1.FindObject("PROTO#.Bodies|BLOCK(1)"), Body)

In the Findobject I can change the component name and the body too...but I think there is a better way.

Why not just pass in the component to the GetMinimumDistance function?

The component may contain more solids..

What exactly are you trying to do and what code do you have so far?

This is my code, the goal is to find the company-standard electrode base in the displayed part.
It is a Diameter 20 cylinder substracted from the bottom of the electrode, sample attached.
If there are more bodies, the user picks the desired body.
Then determine the base CSYS, and reorient the body in a parent file, where it imports a CAM setup.
The CAM setup programs has an UDE with two points, for the BLK FORM.
So where I stuck: measure the body in the reoriented position.
The points (named MIN and MAX) are linked to the UDE, and has PMI dimensions associated. So if I have the measurements, I can easily reposition them.
My comments are hungarian mainly, so I added some english comment

I'm running into a few problems...
The journal references a file that I do not have and I also do not currently have access to a CAM license. I've commented out several lines of code to get it to run on my system.

The journal doesn't complete all its tasks as intended, but I think I have a better understanding of the problem. In essence, you create a reference to a body in the work part then create a new assembly file and add the initial work part as a component; now you want to measure the distance from the initial body reference (now contained in a component in the current assembly) to another object in the assembly. Is this correct?

www.nxjournaling.com

kukelyk · Jun 20, 2013

Absolutely correct. The CAM license is not needed, the imported file contains all the CAM data.

I don't have a full example worked up, but from what I've tried so far, it seems you can use the existing reference you already have.

Are you getting some error or incorrect result when you try that?

www.nxjournaling.com

kukelyk · Jun 25, 2013

Thanks for Your efforts,

I cannot figure out how to reference that body.
if I uncomment and modify

Code:

Dim outp(3) as Double
outp = Ask_XY_bounds (E_solidbody)

at the and of the main sub, and append

Code:

Ses.listingwindow.Writeline(outp(0) & "; " & outp(1) & "; " & outp(2) & "; " & outp(3))

I get very strange values..
what should I put into the parenthesis? Ask_XY_bounds(??)

----

cowski · Jun 26, 2013

As best I can tell:
outp(0) = X min
outp(1) = Y min
outp(2) = X max
outp(3) = Y max

The values reported should be with respect to the display part's absolute coordinate system. What type of values are you getting vs. what values do you expect? I have not had a chance to thoroughly try the Ask_XY_bounds function yet.

www.nxjournaling.com

kukelyk · Jun 27, 2013

Yes, You are right. It should be in the CSYS of the displayed part, but here is some bug..

I ran the attached journal in an OOTB NX7, and I got this:
(I removed some code, what needs Custom_dirs)
Real bounding dimensions after repositioning (measured by hand..):
Xmin = -14.400000000
Ymin = -11.000000000
Xmax = 57.600000000
Ymax = 11.000000000

values obtained by ASK_XY_Bounds()
Xmin= -55.2467808842584;
Ymin= 10.5226781572328;
Xmax= 22.8224307161472;
Ymax= 49.4481738878103

These are the bounding dimensions in the Csys of the sample_electrode.x_t

Let's assume your solid variable is solid1 and the component is component1; try the following:

Code:

dim nxObject1 as NXObject
nxObject1 = component1.FindOccurrence(solid1)

outp = Ask_XY_bounds(nxObject1)

lw.WriteLine("output: ")
lw.WriteLine(outp(0).ToString)
lw.WriteLine(outp(1).ToString)
lw.WriteLine(outp(2).ToString)
lw.WriteLine(outp(3).ToString)
lw.WriteLine("")
