    Default face normal

    Could you just have a look at this picture before you close this thread, please? http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e597f8b4-4028-459b-8063-7635201af193&file=point_on_face.PNG

    Default face normal

    I still think that something is wrong with this surface. 1) For example when I try to put Datum Point on it using point on face selection filter the point appears somewhere in the space. 2) When I try to create Datum Axis using point and direction and select point on edge of this face and that...

    Default face normal

    I use measure angle, vector to vector. Vector are created as point and normal. Point is common for both vectors and lays on the edge. Each time I use that dark orange face to get normal direction it points inside solid.

    Default face normal

    Orange faces are original from model. Gray ones were created during cutting off the piece from model. Deep orange one is the problematic face. Thanks for help.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6f1d00bf-98df-4005-830b-911c1d63c46b&file=invalid_face_d.prt

    Default face normal

    Hello I'm trying to measure an angle between two faces of solid body. Sometimes it happens that vector normal to faces point inside my solid, giving improper measurement. Is there any way to fix default face normal vector direction or to force measure feature to automatically use normal...

    Stopping journal execution

    Hello. Does anybody know how to stop compiled journal file while it's working? Or how to show "work in progress window"? My script changes model expressions and "tries to update" geometry - if succeeds it reads certain measurements. Whole process takes about 20 minutes for 1 model. Problem...

    Block UI Styler - hide default buttons

    Hello I'm using NX 7.5.5. I've tried to create dialog with no default buttons in the bottom part of the window (OK, Apply etc), just "x" button in the top right corner. Is this possible? I know that it can be done with Pre-NX6 UI Styler, but I wanted to use more modern tool :) Regards P...

    Face centroid

    Not the way I wanted to solve it, but yes, solved.

    Face centroid

    I originally wanted to match faces from one side of the body with corresponding faces on the other side. Anyway i managed to solve this by searching for mirrored copy of face center. I calculated the center using this code: Dim theScalar As Scalar = workPart.Scalars.CreateScalar(0.5...

    Face centroid

    Lets say it is one body + mirror plane.

    Face centroid

    Hello. I'm using NX7.5.3. I have body, that has mirrorplane. This means that I have two sets of corresponding faces (on the one side and "mirrored" side). Let's assume that the body is defeatured and those face are not planar (just 2 sets of body faces). I need to match each face wfrom one set...
