    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    Hi Tomas, That's strange and surprising. I tried checking all settings/preferences/filters to see if something is disabled. But no luck. For now, I have solved the problem for myself temporarily (though this is probably not very robust or computationally efficient) by doing Extract Geometry...

    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    Hi Tomas, Thank you so much for taking the time to make these parts! I tried with them and it creates the same problem with both types of parts you've uploaded. May be I haven't understood your solution or completely missed your point, being a complete novice to NX. So, I have uploaded a...

    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    After some experimentation I have figured out this: If it's a "Fresh Convergent Body" (i.e. obtained by doing menu > Edit > Faceted Body > convert to a faceted body), then the intersection curve API works. But if I take Boolean operations with it, and especially if I make a Boolean operation...

    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    Hi Tomas, Yes - from Curve Tab. Yes. (see image below) Thanks for your replies and help people. https://www.oneirix.com/team/chaitanya-guttikar/

    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    Hi @Toost I am on NX 12. I managed to do the Boolean operations I wanted by looping through all the solid bodies in my workpart but now the problem is that I can't do the next step with the resulting solid - I want the intersection curve of that solid with a plane. But the intersection curve...

    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    Hi @cowski. I know about promoting but I don't know what the wave link is. Also, I need to slice the bodies getting created but the intersection curve API is not letting me select the convergent bodies I am generating. I need to be able to do all this programmatically one after the other and I...

    Adding parent to non-timestamp geometry objects.

    Hello. I have a python journal that generates facet bodies that reside in the "non-timestamp geometry". I want to have them as solid bodies of another part in the assembly (I need to do Boolean operations with them and some other body in the assembly). I can convert them to convergent bodies...

    Export assembly as single part (collection of solid bodies without parameters) python

    Hi Ehaviv and TheTick, Thanks for your input. But file > export > Part does not get recorded with the record journal button so I need to know the API to use to do this programmatically.

    Export assembly as single part (collection of solid bodies without parameters) python

    Hi @John R. Baker, Thanks for your input. I tried to do it but I was getting an error saying promoting is disabled in customer defaults. I tried to go to preference>customerDefaults to change the setting but couldn't find anything there to change that would allow me to promote. Could you...

    Export assembly as single part (collection of solid bodies without parameters) python

    Hello, I am trying to export an assembly as a single part - I need this to run a journal that performs Boolean operations on the solid bodies in the assembly (which can be done only if the solid bodies are subparts of the same part). I tried using NXOpen.UF.Part.ExportWithOptions but that...
