Check drawings in Component - NXOpen

basenxuser · Jul 12, 2019

Hello All,

Can anyone tell me whether the drawing sheet count can be found without loading the component fully in an assembly?
This is to find whether the part has drawings or not. Here the assembly is opened from local folder and not from TeamCenter.

Regards,

The command line utility "ug_inspect" can be used to see if the part has a drawing or not. When run with the default option, the first thing reported is the "non empty entity type chains"; if "Drawing" (type 62) shows up in the list, the part has a drawing with 1 or more sheets. I don't think that it will tell you the sheet count, but you can discern whether or not the part contains a drawing. This is a command line utility that returns the output to the stdout stream. If you are writing a journal or program, you can start this utility programmatically, pass in the required parameters, and parse the output to determine what type of objects the file contains.
