    Convert Facet (sheet) to a surface: NX 8.5

    Sounds cool. Does it need any other licence other than Modeling?

    Convert Facet (sheet) to a surface: NX 8.5

    Hi all. I know there's been a lot of discussion going on about the conversion of facet to surface, I was just hoping that someone has come up with a novel solution recently. Hence, the question: Is there a way we can directly convert a faceted sheet to a surface in NX 8.5? P.S: I have used Fit...

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    John & BubbaK, Thanks to you both. Both methods work!! Thanks a lot :) I restarted my system & grx program worked fine.

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    John, I tried executing the grx file. The splines are not joining all the points, they seem to be scattered. I ran the program for 3 dat files, please see the attached image of the output. Also, UG is responding very slowly. Is there any setting that I need to...

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    BubbaK, I looked up NX documentation, i added system and open namespaces, added references to the module; yet the code doesn't accept "NXOpen.UF.UFCurve.CreateSplineThruPts". I cannot see ".CreateSplineThruPts" method in UFCurve class. How to add it?

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    BubbaK, Snap is not there in NX 6 :-( Is there a way to do this in NX 6?

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    Toost, They are just examples since I am obligated not to share the original data. Don't worry about the shape of the splines, the real problem here is how to automate the task. :)

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    John, Please see the attached. I need the tool to pick all three files (gave you as example), one by one & create splines using "Spline>Through Points" option only.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e37e1f77-a2df-46b5-b9b2-6caf84610027&file=test.zip

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    John, It works. But as others are suggesting, I need a VB program for the same, because this action is a part of a list of actions i am trying to automate. Bubbak, Studio Spline doesn't fetch data from .dat files. The option is not there in NX 6. I am looking for perfectly passing a spline...

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    John, I don't know how to use GRIP. The .dat files contain only x, y, z coordinates of points delimited by a tab. Is it possible to do it with GRIP?

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    Cowski, You're right. I want my journal to select a folder full of .dat files and create a spline for each. I need to automate this. How can I do it? I have almost 200 .dat files that need to construct splines for. If it's not much that I am asking for, kindly post VB script addressing the...

    Automate Spline -> Through Points option

    Hi all! P.S: I use NX 6.0. I see that Record Journal doesn't activate Insert>Curve>"Spline" option for recording. I have a .dat file in a folder containing x,y,z co ordinates of points. I want to run a journal that allows me to select the .dat files & generates a spline using "ThroughPoints"...

    Profile of a surface

    Okay! In case 1, suppose I remove the basic dimension, and give the tolerance 10 +/- 1 mm, and the datum is referenced, & the actual height value is 10.05 mm, we have a profile tolerance zone of 1 mm at the height of 10.05 mm. Am I correct?

    Profile of a surface

    pmarc, Why don't we require basic dimension in the second case?
