    Journal to set cell settings and export Parts List

    Oh, duh. If I'm making a function to export the parts list, I don't need the cells formatted correctly because we will just use the button that can handle it. Thanks! Here's what I came up with. I couldn't get the Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog working for some reason, so I just dump it to the...

    Journal to set cell settings and export Parts List

    I am using the Plist.ListToFile method to export the list, however I didn't realize it only exported in tab-delimited, I'll have to look into that. The issue with wrapped text that I am trying to solve is still an issue with that method. Each line of text in the parts list gets a line in the...

    Journal to set cell settings and export Parts List

    We have an internal system that we upload the comma separated text file Parts List Export to. This system reads each line to help automate component ordering for tooling packages. We need all the text in the Parts List cells to be on one line for the exported text file to be formated correctly...

    That worked! I was pretty sure I just needed some sort of update, but I didn't know how to do it. Thanks cowski!

    NX2206 Custom Journal Breaks Hole and Thread Callout

    I have the below journal that pulls attributes from components to populate a tabular note in drafting. We recently changed to v2206 from v1965 and now, after the custom journal is ran, the Hole and Thread Callout tool no longer highlights features for selection. This problem goes away if you...

    NX1965-Disable Position on Margin when moving dimension after initial placement

    I know this is a repeat topic, but I found a solution for this problem when we first "upgraded" to NX1953 series so I know it's possible. I just received a new PC and am going nuts trying to fix this again. The problem: The "Position on Margin" setting is on when repositioning dimensions...

    NX 1953 Sketch snap points on drag

    Has anyone found a way to turn on snap points while dragging objects in the new sketch solver? I frequently need to relocate threaded holes to be inline with the clearance hole they match with. I used to be able to click and drag the sketch point and snap it to the arc center of the clearance...

    That's better than nothing, I suppose. Thanks!

    NX12 - How to hide drafting dimension leaders

    I've been working with NX 12 for a while now and one of the things that I still hate are the "First Object" and "Second Object" leaders that show up when adding dimensions in Drafting, seen here. They often cover the feature that I want to select next, so I have to move them before I can select...

    NX 12: Tabular Note - How to disable "Edit with Spreadsheet"

    You're my hero! I had done that once, but I couldn't remember how I did it.

    NX 12: Tabular Note - How to disable "Edit with Spreadsheet"

    We use simple Tabular Notes for revision blocks for our tooling, they don't need to be linked to any external spreadsheet, they are for reference only. Everyone except my boss can edit the cells directly in NX, but my boss is forced to use Excel to edit the contents. The Excel window takes a...

    NX10/NX12 Open File Window Freezes NX

    Has anyone had issues with NX freezing with the Open File window open? This happens to me at least once per week and twice already today. NX is completely unresponsive, but the "Do you want to save changes before closing" window opens when NX is killed from the task manager. That window is...

    NX10/NX12 Drafting Hole Callout Cannot Select Hole

    I have seen a couple of posts about not being able to select holes with the Radial Dimension > Hole Callout feature that I wasn't able to reply to, so here is what I have learned about that: Things to check if a hole is not selectable: Is the component Fully Loaded? Not Fully Loaded: Right...

    NX 12 driving me crazy :(

    I am also having this problem of the preview not showing transparently! It is intermittent for me though. I was able to get the preview to show correctly by showing the part in its own window, where previously I was trying to add a hole to a component in an assembly, but other components in the...
