    NX11 - Drafting: custom parameters/text in hole callout preferences and distance section label

    Yes, I know. Therefore everytime I test settings, I close NX, delete all my user prefs and start with a new empty part and drawing. But with the 'section letter distance' it took several attempts.

    NX11 - Drafting: custom parameters/text in hole callout preferences and distance section label

    Aha, it can be done (individually) via the settings menu. I was trying to add it directly via the small popup menu/window. The settings menu is still cumbersome, but this might do the trick for my colleagues. Thanks!

    NX11 - Drafting: custom parameters/text in hole callout preferences and distance section label

    After a few times of saving the settings, deleting personal user settings and restarting NX, the 2nd question is resolved. However, I'm still wondering who could help me with the first question? Or is it impossible to add a custom parameter/text to the hole callout parameters? And if it's...

    NX11 - Drafting: custom parameters/text in hole callout preferences and distance section label

    Hi, I've got 2 questions for NX11 drafting: - Is it possible to add a custom parameter/text (for instance 'minimal') in the hole callout. I would like to be able to add 'minimal' before thread depth (but not always), instead of modifying the tolerances? - How can I change the distance of...

    Change part attribute with journal when working in drawing (master model)

    How do I get into this window? I'm working in NX 10.0, but I do not see the drop down menu in the window? I go to File > Properties and then I only see 'Displayed part properties'. Is there another way to reach the window you show? UPDATE: Sorry, I found the menu by right clicking on the part...

    Change part attribute with journal when working in drawing (master model)

    Hi, I'm trying to set part attributes with a VB journal. This all works fine when I'm in the part itself by using: Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work and further on workPart.SetUserAttribute(_attributeTitle1, -1, _attributeValue1, Update.Option.Later) However, when I'm in the...

    Extract XYZ points with a Journal file (with NX names)

    Hi Cowski, This is a nice addon. I implemented this code into my script. For simplicity (I want to extract data from this created output) I've put all the output of one CSYS in one line. This now looks like: Global,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1...

    Multiple assemblies/parts: always suppress does not work

    I am working with a large assembly with lots of subassys which I would like to export to Ansys. Since I do not want to export all parts/assemblies, I use suppress parts (checkmark greyed out). This works ok. However, when I temporarily suppress a complete parent assembly (because I would like to...

    Switch Part tool

    Hi CNSZU, I made a mistake interpreting your post about replacing e as System.EventArgs... Now I replaced the code in line 1536 and it now looks like: Sub newContextMenuStrip_Opening(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs). I also uncommented 1162, because that line calls...

    Hi CNSZU, I found an other 'bug' using NX75. Your script does not show subassys (it does with version 1.1). It only shows one sublevel, but not the 3rd level. Is this somewhere in the options which I have to set?

    Switch Part tool

    I did not find the "e As System.EventArgs" in the actual VB code, but I commented line 1162 and that also works. Furthermore I had to comment line 466 and 485 also to get it working. I haven't tested it completely but it looks like everything is working. However, previews of the file does not...

    Thanks for the new version, but unfortunately I get the following errors: Syntax errors: Line 466: 'GetUserAttributes' is not a member of 'NXOpen.Assemblies.Component'.

    Toggle between arrow-in vs arrow-out in drafting

    Ok, thanks for all replies. I already figured out the popup Xwheelguy talks about, unfortunately this is only when placing a dimension, not when I want to edit it afterwards. So I guess I'm now stuck to 3 mouseclicks :)

    Toggle between arrow-in vs arrow-out in drafting

    I read about that in an other thread, but that's not going to help me because we will probably stick to NX75 for a couple of years. Is there no 'work-around' for NX75?

    Toggle between arrow-in vs arrow-out in drafting

    I'm looking for a journal/shortcut which can toggle between arrow-in and arrow-out in drafting. Me and my colleagues find it not so easy that you need at least 3 mouseclicks before you reach the 'annotation style' and can choose the correct arrow placing. It would be nicer to have some kind of...

    Extract XYZ points with a Journal file (with NX names)

    I have spend a long time searching this forum and I have found some code that exports the coordinates of points (thread561-314774). However, this journal does not export the name as given in the part navigator of NX. The code I use is: ' NX 7.5.0.32 ' eng-tips thread561-314774 ' return...
