    Default NX part directory help

    I am trying to have the default directory of a new or save-as part be set to the current directory of the work part. I see there is a setting in Customer Defaults-->General--Directories to set this to a location, but I want this to be a variable setting (I want to change it through NXOpen)...

    Here is a journal to edit a few attributes using a windows form. I created this because the new attribute editor is cumbersome. Option Strict Off Imports System Imports NXOpen Imports NXOpen.UF Module Module1 Private _formTitle As String = "" Public ReadOnly Property FormTitle() As...

    EXPERT NEEDED - Note spacing anomaly

    Yes, I agree that the title sounds like this should be an easy question, but it has left me confused. I have two notes, one from a migrated drawing from I-DEAS (migrated with CMM) and another one created inside NX. The issues is that when I insert a user defined symbol which has anchors in...

    Very Peculiar Customer Defaults

    I have the same version and MP of NX installed on two different machines. You would think the customer default options would be the same, however they are not. How is this possible? Is there a way to hide customer default options? If so where/how is this done. See the attached picture for...

    Journal to flip arrow placement on selected dimensions

    Here is a journal I wrote that will flip the arrow placement of a dimension. I found it a little tedious to have to go under style and have to do it manually so I created this journal and created a short cut to it. Hope you find it helpful. Tested on NX8.5, but should work on all versions...

    Modify JT_Body in NX Part

    When I open and extract a JT file in NX8.5 it shows a single body "JT_BODY(0)". But this file consists of many seperate sheets. I can export the file to a STP and then reimport and then I can see the separate sheets, but is this possible to do without exporting and reimporting. Essentially...

    Assembly Navigator Display

    If you undock the assembly navigator is it possible to change the display setting such that it does not become transparent when the cursor is not over the dialog? NX8.5 Design Engineer, NX 7.5

    Insert Parts List with Journal

    I was able to do it in Naitive NX, but it does not seem to be possible to use a Teamcenter managed one like "@DB/DH_Parts_List_metric/A". Thought I would share what I was able to do though: Imports NXOpen Imports NXOpen.UF Imports NXOpen.Utilities Public Class NXJournal Shared theSession...

    Insert Parts List with Journal

    Does anyone have any experience with inserting a parts list from a template with a journal/nxopen? GTAC doesn't seem to have any information. I have been playing with this on and off for several months with no success. I am using NX8.5 Thanks, Andrew Design Engineer, NX 7.5

    Insert Parts List from Template Journal

    I have been trying to insert a parts list in NX8.5 Managed from a template, but have been unsuccessful. It seems like the journal is pulling the parts list but then not actually displaying it. The mapping of the UF functions are still very new to me and I cannot find any help on the UGAnswer...

    How to display info for user through Journal / NXOpen ?

    Hello, I am wanting to display information to a user when executing a journal/NXOpen application without using the Information Window or Pop-ups. I want to utilize the "bar" where progress / selection manager display information to display text throughout a program. I cannot find this...

    Export DXF to Teamcenter

    I have read all the threads on exporting a DXF with a journal and have been successful in implementing it. However, I would like for the DXF file after it has been created with the journal to be imported to Teamcenter as well. I thought I was going down the right road with this: This is in...

    Edit Attributes in Assembly Navigator

    I ended up writing an NXOpen application to do this. It is a shame NX cannot do this since our other users are not fluent in program writing. Design Engineer, NX 7.5

    Edit Attributes in Assembly Navigator

    Hello, It seems that you should be able to edit attributes in the assembly navigator by just double clicking the field instead of right-clicking the part --> properties --> attributes. Is it possible to send it to the "spreadsheet" and then save it back to NX, similiar to when you create part...

    NX Journal-Removing sheet bodies from Model Ref Set

    Cowski, I do not get any errors, but the sheet bodies from the child parts are not removed from the 'Model' reference set. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! Design Engineer, NX 7.5

    NX Journal-Removing sheet bodies from Model Ref Set

    Hello, I am pretty new to nx journaling, but I have 90% of the functionality of this one that I want. I want this journal to run recursively run through an assembly and move objects to predefined layers as well as then change the child components to Model reference set. So far I have been able...

    Assembly Components Journal

    Hello, First of all I would like to say I have read all the post where people are trying to create assembly level reference sets. This is NOT what I am trying to do. I would like to create a journal that makes every child part of an assembly the 'Model' reference set to save on load time. We...
