    Reorder Standard Parameter in NX

    Hi, Thank you! That works fine! Is it possible to modify it in that way, that if there are some parameters like "pattern_p*", that these parameters will get also the prefix "pattern_" after renaming? Best regards Michael

    Reorder Standard Parameter in NX

    Hi, is there any way to reorder all standard parameters (p*) in NX (10/11)? I have a part which have currently up to parameter-number of 9000! This is a result of some pattern-features and some changes to them for different versions. So I have e.g. no parameters within 1000 to 2000 and more...

    Journaling to toogle LineWidth Display in Modeling or Drafting depending on current Application-Mode

    Hello all, I have written a small Journal to toggle the linewidth Display in drafting-mode or in modeling-mode with only one button. In this case, the tool has to be determine if we are in modeling-mode or in drafting mode, cause we have two variables - one for each of the applications...

    NX Open Unblank Routing Objects

    Hi Cowski, sorry, we only have routing-parts with line-segments. Now I test it with the part from Hallvar - arcs and splines will not processed. So in this case we have to use the code from you with "Sub findRouteSegments..". For this we have to add a routine to process all components in an...

    NX Open Unblank Routing Objects

    Hi Hallvar and Cowski, I have try to make some changes to the last code. Now I have found a way to blank/unblank the routing-segments with a UFConstant, so the segments will be blanked und unblanked over a complete assembly-struktur. You can see it in the code. I have also add a...

    NX Open Unblank Routing Objects

    Hi Cowski, the routing object are all on Layer 1 (same as the model geometry)and not in a special reference set. This is what the users have done in old parts and will also do in new parts. Actually they can use two macros to blank or unblank the routing objects. But these macros works only in...

    NX Open Unblank Routing Objects

    Hi cowski, fine, this works, but only in the single part where the routing objects are defined. Now I need to blank and unblank them in a top-level assembly, where these object are objects of the components. I test it with: For Each tempAnchor As Routing.Anchor In...
