Journal to Delete Basic Curves

kr7530 · Oct 25, 2013

I have a journal where the user selects curves to be deleted. My problem is that I have been unable to determine if a selected curve has dependents so that it can be removed from the list of curves to be deleted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

If you're trying to delete all unused entities in a file there's:

File-->Utilities-->Part Cleanup has a "Delete Unused Objects"

Or is the object to just delete certain unused curves?

Needs to certain unused curves, some unused curves are kept for referencing previous changes.

This is a situation that I've also recently encountered. A function that may help you is highlighted below.

Code:

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpen.UF

Module Module1

    Sub Main()

        Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
        Dim theUfSession As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()
        Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work

        Dim featTag As Tag = Tag.Null

        For Each myCurve As Curve In workPart.Curves
            theUfSession.Modl.[highlight #FCAF3E]AskObjectFeat(myCurve.Tag, featTag)[/highlight]
            If featTag = Tag.Null Then
                'curve is unused
                myCurve.Highlight
            End If
        Next

    End Sub


End Module
