    BoundingBox vs Create Box, incorrect results from BoundingBox

    We have implemented and successfully been using the journal from: thread561-389240 to run BOM finished sizes for our components for about a year now. Works perfectly 95% of the time. However there are certain instances where it was failed us, and they are seemingly repeatable. We have found...

    Journal code to find part 'modified date'?

    Quick question, and guessing this might be a single line-code, but how can you obtain the last saved date of a part (modified date)? We are using journals to create bounding box info to fill out our bill of materials, however keeping them updated can be tricky. I'd like to be able to check the...

    Journal to Select FlatSolid

    I have an existing journal to work through an assembly and extract bounding box information for each component in the assembly for BOM purposes. This works well except for formed components, where we want to bound box only the FlatSolid of the component. Does somebody know the code to do this...

    Select Bundle with Journal NXOpen API

    Is there a way, or code somebody already has to select bundles for different mach's inside of NX? We have limited amount of mach 3 bundles, so our tool makers on the floor have had them taken away, but now they cannot use NX to pull part weights. We would like to be able to get an NXOpen...

    Journal/API to Auto Place PMI Dimensions?

    Is there a way a journal can be written to auto recognize holes in a part, and place a PMI 'hole-callout' for each hole type?

    Journal to Add Bolts Automatically In Assembly???

    Random thought, just wondering: 1) if it would be possible, and 2) if it is has anyone ever tried it? Is there a way that a journal could run on an assembly and complete the following: 1. Automatically recognize all of the ‘Counter-bored Screw Clearance Holes’ 2. Read the ‘Screw Size’ from...

    Journal/GRIP/macro to input part attribute to entire folder of parts???

    Anybody know a way to run a program that would automatically input an attribute into each part in a selected folder? We have a bunch of legacy files of purchased clamps and other components that is shared, and every time we use them we have to input the attribute in for the BOM. We can slowly...
