Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

(OP)
Hi,

I am trying to create a script that changes the settings for Feature Control Frames, Datum feature Symbols, Notes, etc.
I am new to programming and I am not 100% sure of what I'm doing so I could need some help.
So far I have this Code:

Each section here is working ok, but if I have a drawing that includes both feature control frames and Datum Feature Symbols, it does not work. I think this is because of these lines:

For Each tempFcF As Annotations.DraftingFcf In workPart.Gdts

and this one:

For Each tempDatumFeatureSymbol As Annotations.DraftingDatum In workPart.Gdts

I want to run through all Feature control frames and change the settings for each one. So here I am saving a draftingFcf from workpart.Gdts to tempFcf. Since workpart.Gdts returns both DraftingFcf and
DraftingDatums when the script finds a DraftingDatum and tries to save it as a draftingFcf it crashes.
So my question is how can I search for just DraftingFcfs or just DraftingDatums in my workpart? Or maybe there is a better way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

(OP)
I'm running NX8.5

RE: Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

According to the API documentation, datums, datum targets, and FCF's all inherit from the Gdt class. If you want to change the text uniformly of all these objects, you can use the base Gdt class rather than the DraftingFcf or DraftingDatum classes.

Optional: you might want to rename the tempFcF variable to more accurately represent what it is used for (perhaps tempGdt).

Great! This works perfectly. Thank you very much!

RE: Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

(OP)
Hi again.

The code is coming along well, but there is still one thing that does not update to the new settings. It's the section where I change label settings.
All labels get the new settings except "Label on Parent" (i.e. the label you get when you create a detail view).

-----------------------------------

So this part:

Does not include Label on Parents.
Do you know how I can include those labels as well?

Also, how do you post your code inside that nice CODE box in these threads?

Thanks!

RE: Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

(OP)
Also, you mentioned "According to the API documentation" in your previous post. Where can I find that documentation?
As of now I am just creating Journals and trying to figure out which command to use from those. Or i use google.
Documentation that shows what is in each class would be really helpful.

RE: Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

You can find it in the NX help -> programming tools. In recent versions of NX, the default is to NOT install the "programming" help along with the other help files. You may need to re-run the help installation tool to install the programming help files. Once these are installed you will find the .NET API reference guide which lists every available class along with its properties and methods.

www.nxjournaling.com

RE: Return Feature Control Frame in Journal Script

(OP)
Great! I found the .NET API reference guide. This definitely helps a lot, although it is a bit hard to navigate/understand when I don't have a lot of experience with this stuff.
My code now covers almost every item I need to change, but I am still struggling to include LabelonParent. All other labels change with this code, but LabelOnParent is not included:

For Each tempLabel As Annotations.Label In workPart.Labels

In the .NET API reference guide I can't find a LabelOnParent class. Is there another class that includes this?
Do you know what code I could use to change settings for all LabelOnParents in my drawing.
