    show reference sets journal

    I found a journal which shows all objects in the MODEL reference set, but it's not working properly. I'm using NX2212. Is there a problem with the code or am I doing something wrong? when I run the journal in an assembly, on one of the components, I double click the component to make it the...

    Grip create new .prt from template?

    I wonder if anyone can help me to edit a grip file, it works fine, but it creates a bunch of files, using the BLANK part, I'm wondering if i can get in to use my start part template instead. the GRIP documents seems to read that this can't be done.

Can anyone send me a fixed (or not corrupted version) version, If I spend some time I'm sure I can fix it, I could easily...

    Hi NX'ers. I'd like to assign material and body colour, from a journal dropdown list. Can someone share some code that will help me to achieve this. I found a closed thread that mentions a journal with what i'm after. https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=493989 Toost states that he has...

    colour a part from the assembly

    We all know that if you want to change the body colour in a component, you need to go into the part, not do it from the assembly.. We have a grip file that CAN DO this from the assembly, so it must somehow be able to bypass this annoyance. My question is.... is there a way that this can be done...

    history .vb help

    can one of the .vb experts please help with this journal.. It's VERY simple, I just made a button to interrogate the part-save history of the work part, (ie: information, part history). Its working fine except for one small detail, (no biggie really), I figured out that after I used it the first...

    using inches in a metric part

    I've been using NX for over 20 yrs, and there's always been a way to specify an input in inch units when working in a metric part. way back when.... it was done by (IN)2.5 for 2 1/2 inches, then later it changed to (INCH)2.5 but now NX2007 neither of those work, but I did get it to work with...

    anyone got any tips for setting up Datum Planes with an associative number of copies I can't use an expression, only a number, once the planes are created, I can't add more in the same feature.

    remove drafting attribute

    this is probably very easy, but I can't figure it out... I want to remove one of my attributes from the draft file, if i delete it, all it does is remove the valve not the whole attribute. anyone have a solution?

    edit a RMB menu

    Can someone help me to find where the files are that control the RMB menu's. The one I'm talking about is, In modelling if you hover over a body and hit RMB, you see a small menu with "hide" and "delete" Also if you pick a body, and hit RMB, you get the same menu... Sometimes it has other...

    visibility in blend command

    NX2007, I can't seem to find the defaults to control the visibility of the display when I'm in the blend command. it changes to wireframe with hidden edges (which I'm not sure I actually want) but I'd at least like to change it to a static wireframe so I can see everything.

    todays date journal

    I've had this journal for years, and it's served me well. It has options in the code for different output formats. I now need it to output the date as 20/12/2022 which would be option (1) in the code but....... it doesn't change the output from the option (2) which I've always used Can...

    add toolbar

    NX2007, I've created a custom drafting toolbar, and added to a "startup" folder which looks correct because the company's custom toolbar is there. mine doesn't show up. so i created a UGII_USER_DIR= enviroment variable but all that did was double up the company toolbar, mine is still not...

    command search

    NX2007, when I search for a command, I can open it from the search window, but I want to see its path in the main drop down menu's, so I can include in my toolbars. It used to show you where to find the command but now it doesn't. I've looked all over customer defaults etc but haven't found a...

    find components

    NX 2007, i'm trying to use the "find components" dialog,(NOT find component) finding a component in an assembly by its "DESCRIPTION" attribute but the search filters don't seem to work, and there's no hover over help to describe them. Surely i can search for the description attribute name, if i...
