John,
I just tested the program that you updated, it gives me an error if I chose to extract 500 points from a spline curve. I looked at the source code for the GRIP program and it looks identical to the one you sent me in May.

John,
Thank you for your input and for updating the current GRIP program to extract up to 1000 points from a spline/section curve.
Your suggestions sound like a very feasible method to get around what I had described earlier in my previous posting. I wish we had the license to write a GRIP...
John,
It has been a while since I posted on this thread.
I have put the GRIP program that you created and sent me last month to a lot of good use. I had a question on this forum specific to your program and that I would like to expand it if need be.
At the moment with the GRIP program you...
But if I were to use pictorial section view I could pick an orientation for which the section detail is to be made and then only placed on the drawing sheet.
And that would also mean that I can change the orientation of the section detail after I have made a section view from the base part using pictorial view if I am understanding it correctly.
Thanks John.
If I use pictorial section view would it give me the same detail as using the section view option?
I think that would be great if I can orient the view of a section view using pictorial section instead if it gives the same sectioned detail.
I have a section view of a model in UG drafting but the orientation of the section view is not what I had intended for. Is there a functionality in UG NX 7.o Drafting mode which will allow me to change the orientation of the object shown in the section view. Thanks to all your advice!
Is there any resource to learn NX open, I have been really contemplating in learning the language so that I amy be able to create custom programs for a lot of the things we wish to do here.
cmacca: Are you suggesting one template with borders created for different size sheets but placed on...
Thank you so much for your advice and suggestions. i believe that it will be very helpful as I set on another task. Is there a way in UG NX to use the same drawing template for different sized sheets?

John,
I am just curious whether you would manually edit each section name cut if for example I was to use the drawing template on a wing part of larger length. In that case, is it possible to use the drawing template for the dummy part by importing it into which ever part that I am currently...
To all with great advice for a newbie in UG NX7.0,
I have a part file of an aircraft wing which I have created and I would like to do several things fter all the 3d modeling in done:
1) Create a drawing sheet with a specified template of borders and text. Automate this process such that I...
Thank you John and Didier, I really appreciate your input on this thread. This has been a good welcome introduction into the forum as a first time user. Will update you guys on how the program works for me. Thank you!
John,
Thank you for replying at this hour with the modified version of the GRIP file you sent me, would love to put it to test first thing tomorrow at the office. By the way, does the program extract points that are the defining points on a spline/curve or are they returning values for knot pts...
Didier,
Thank you for the file attached and coming up with an alternate solution, will put it to test tomorrow and let you know how it works. Can you explain what param 1 and param 2 does and why the value for evaluation type is 1?
Also, does the function return defining points along the curve...
John,
You must be a big fan of Law and Order. +)
Thank you very much for your kind help. I really appreciate it. I could get around the coordinate system that way to output the results I want. I will probably play around with the program again this afternoon.
John,
I managed to make it work and I am glad that you had helped figure this out for me. The only thing I have to note is that the X is suppose to be the Y for the airfoil in cartesian coordinate and the same for Y being the X. This should not be a big problem as I would have to manually sort...
John,
I amy have been skipping a step, do you suggest I create poiunts on the curve first using the fit option and then only exporting those points by executing the GRIP file? I am sorry for my amatuer type questions but I may have caught myself not doing it correctly.
Yes, I tried it on the sample file i sent you. I was not able to see it highlight at all and i tried selecting all the other curves in the part. Should I be able to select them right after I specify the number of points?
John,
Thank you for sending me this file. Ideally, if this feature works I would have the data written to a text file and saved for each section on the wing. Also, have the routine loopp back to prompt me for another set of curves to extract data from and so on and so forth to reate a data file...
