    NX 3.0: GM DCS File Log Macro for Batch Execution

    When I open the part in GM UG, there is indeed an icon that pulls up a window that allows access to the log data in .txt format. I have written a macro that opens the log file, saves it using a generic filename and then closes the part. Seems to work well. The problem I'm currently having is...

    NX 3.0: GM DCS File Log Macro for Batch Execution

    I've since been in touch with the GEES help desk at GM. I'm told that there isn't a way to batch export the DCS File Logs using the GM tool bar at this time. Upon learning that, I have been playing around with Tools --> Macros within UG and have managed to create a macro to save the Log from...

    NX 3.0: GM DCS File Log Macro for Batch Execution

    Subject: NX 3.0 General Motors Toolkit - DCS File Log How can I extract the DCS File Log from multiple parts using the General Motors Toolkit? I know how to do them individually, but I want to be able to extract and save the logs from multiple part files in a single step.

    CATIA V5: How to create points equal distant from both ends of a curve

    Unfortunately, the car isn't on the road yet so I can't post the part. Imagine any 3D object - your telephone for example. Now, imagine a section cut through the phone. For every flat (or nearly flat) surface, put two points on that segment of the section line, 3mm from the tangent at each...

    CATIA V5: How to create points equal distant from both ends of a curve

    I'm creating CMM inspection points. I have cut sections every 100mm (in both the xz and yz planes) on a part that measures roughly 1500mm by 600mm. There is a lot of form to the panel and I will need 2 points (3 mm from each end) on every significant surface on every section line. To answer...

    CATIA V5: How to create points equal distant from both ends of a curve

    I have cut a multiple sections through a part. I need to create points 3mm from each end of the section curves. Currently, I'm selecting the curve, and creating one point. Then, I re-select the curve, reverse directions and create the second point. I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for a...

    Definition of a class A surface

    Class A is something visible: Like the hood of your car. Class B is visible but not essential: Like the door aperture. Class C is not visible, like the seat mounting under the carpet.

    How do I define the tolerance for a 2D plane in V4?

    When I create multiple elements using a plane, I find that the elements are not 2 dimensional. That is, if I create a section by intersecting faces with a plane, then attempt to go into 2D using a radius on the section, parts of the section do not show up as two dimensional. How is this...
