Hello,

I writing small journal for export pdf, dxf, parasolid and step for each part in assembly.
I can select all parts in assembly, but I can't add main part (or workpart) to selection group.
I use standard function:

CODE --> vb

Function SelectComponents(ByVal prompt As String, ByRef selObj() as TaggedObject) As Selection.Response
	 
	Dim theUI as UI = UI.GetUI
	Dim title As String = "Select components"
	Dim includeFeatures As Boolean = False
	Dim keepHighlighted As Boolean = False
        Dim selAction As Selection.SelectionAction = Selection.SelectionAction.ClearAndEnableSpecific
	Dim scope As Selection.SelectionScope = Selection.SelectionScope.AnyInAssembly
	Dim selectionMask_array(1) As Selection.MaskTriple
	 
	With selectionMask_array(0)
		.Type = UFConstants.UF_component_type
		.Subtype = UFConstants.UF_all_subtype
	End With
		
	With selectionMask_array(1)
		.Type = UFConstants.UF_component_type
		.Subtype = UFConstants.UF_part_occurrence_subtype 
	End With
	 
	Dim resp as Selection.Response = theUI.SelectionManager.SelectTaggedObjects(prompt, title, scope, selAction, includeFeatures, keepHighlighted, selectionMask_array, selobj)
	If resp = Selection.Response.Ok Then
		Return Selection.Response.Ok
	Else
		Return Selection.Response.Cancel
	End If
	 
End Function

Is it possible to do this?

Best regards

Hello,

Isn't better to process all parts in assembly than selecting each part by MaskTriple?

Hello,

sometimes I must export all parts, sometimes only few part.
My problem is - how select assembly (no all part - I think about assembly file in assembly tree).
This moment I do it like that:

CODE --> vb

Select Case Msgbox("Add assembly too?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Select assembly too?")
       Case 6
           Add_assembly = true
End Select

and after:

CODE --> vb

If Add_assembly = true then
'code
End if

But I would like select assemby with parts selection, if it's possible.

Best regards

Please provide some example how your structure looks. What You have in main assembly? Solid body, sheet body, etc. ?
Look at this thread, maybe this will help. thread561-346964: NX Journal Selection Priority

Hello,

I start from beginging:
1. I have assembly with (p.ex) 5 components.
2. I want open drawing for each component and for assembly.
3. I want export drawing to pdf and dxf and component and assembly to stp, x_t and igs (full assembly and for each component).

My joural do all of these.
But when I selected components to export, I can select only component, I can't select assembly.
I want ask - is it possible to add some maskTriple to select assembly (GD-01.000 on attached movie).

Best regards
