    Connect objects associative

    Hey guys, I build a Bounding Box depending on the user's input. When I do it in the NX GUI the toolingbox has the selected parent objects in the information window, but with the one i created in NX Open, there are no parents visible. Do you know how I can fix that? I am working with the...

    NX Open use selfwritten methods in different classes

    Sadly I don't have access to the GTAC Solution Center... I am working with a temporary student's license, I think that's the reason. I guess it's not allowed to show me the solution here? But anyway thanks for your answer!

    NX Open use selfwritten methods in different classes

    Hey, I guess this is a really basic question, but I can't make it work on my own: I have 30 different VB-projects which base on BlockStyler code. Some of the actions I want to use in the different Blockstyler are the same. Therefore I want to write the method once and use it in all projects...

    NXOpen: create sketch with user interaction

    I found a workaround: use the blockfeature (two points and height) - before that you have to move the WCS to the orientation that you need, than you can make the two points on the x,y plane of the moved WCS. Regarding the documentation ".SetOrientation" in BlockFeatureBuilder should do the...

    NXOpen: create sketch with user interaction

    Hey, I want the user to draw a rectangle on a created plane. I use Blockstyler and the user first creates the plane interactively, then i want him to draw a sketch on that plane. At the end I would like to extrude the sketch (also interactive). I don't understand how to get into the sketch - I...

    Expression ToolingBoxBuilder.XValue

    Hey there, it's me again. I created a "BoundedBlock" with toolingBoxBuilder in an assembly. Now I need to get the dimension of the bounded block. The toolingBoxBuilder class owns the function .XValue, etc. for x,y,z as Expression. I tried in a thousand ways to get the value of the Expression...

    Specify Orientation Z axis

    Hey everybody, I am using NX 12 and the Blockstyler. I want to use the Specify Orientation to rotate a toolingbox/bounding box, that I created. Therefore I need to get the x,y and z axis of the manipulator handle. For X and Y it's really easy, because it's given in the API. But how do I get the...

    Specify Point on face only with blockstyler

    Okay, I fount it. For anybody who has the same troubles finding it: there is no list, but you can just go on the BlockStyler in NX. There you choose the SpecifyPoint and then you scroll in Specify Point to SnapPointTypesEnabled. You have to doubleclick on this... not like all the other selection...

    Specify Point on face only with blockstyler

    Hey, I am working with NX12 and BlockStyler. I want to make sure that the point, that I created is on a face. Using the Point Function in NX there is the possibility to choose "Point on Face". That's all I need. How can I use the "Point on face" function in Blockstyler? I think it should be...

    FindObject in Assembly

    Okay, I just found it. Trial and Error - so the NX Open documentation wasn't really helpful. If somebody got stuck on the same point, here is my solution: 'refers to the occurrence of the face in the assembly Dim face1 As NXOpen.Face = CType(tagObj(0), NXOpen.Face) 'refers to the...

    FindObject in Assembly

    Hey, I try to create a plane on a face in an assembly. I know I have to wavelink the component of the face, but I can't figure out how it works. I have to replace these FindObject lines from the recorded journal: Dim face1 As NXOpen.Face =...
