@hydtools - the Belleville and Nord Lock washers may be of various materials. In this particular application we need something more corrosion resistant than zinc plated steel, so both the Bellevilles and the Nord Locks would likely by made of stainless steel. Belleville washers are commonly made...
Background:
Nord Lock wedge locking washers have a great reputation for resisting vibrational loosening of bolted joints. In some applications the preload on the joint may be at risk of diminishing due to creep, relaxation, thermal expansion or etc, and in these kinds of applications the basic...
cowski, thanks for the code; I'll try to find time to try it out.
johnrbaker, what you say is indeed my understanding of Ref Sets in the context of assembly modeling.
jpetach: you're right, but the functionality I'm describing, and what it sounds like cowski has at least in part implemented in...

Is it possible to Show/Hide within a part, using that part's Reference Sets?
Let's say you've got a complex model, perhaps serving as a design master for a complex assembly, with several Reference Sets containing different subsets of data. It'd be very useful to...
If you do not need to automate the export process, then you can accomplish what you need using the File > Export options directly. Just check them out. There are a number of ways to do what you want to do but the simplest is to do File > Export > Parasolid; then use the options in the window...
@cowski
Awesome, thanks, that works. I can customize the code from here.
Out of curiosity, how do you handle your development of code like this? Are you actually journaling or do you somehow have an intimate knowledge of the NX API?

Assemblies > Context Control > Product Outline: You can Define or Show, but once you've defined a Product Outline, can you delete it?
We're new to the use of this feature in NX and I'm curious how stable it is. The past has shown us that in many cases, features driven...

I've searched the forum for related posts but couldn't find a concise answer to this very old issue: what are the best practices for use of coordinate systems (CSYS) and other datums/sketches/etc inside assemblies and subassemblies (as opposed to piece parts)...
Thank you for the sample code. Unfortunately I'm getting a number of errors:
Line 203: 'AttributeManager' is not a member of 'NXOpen.Session'.
Line 203: 'OperationType' is not a member of 'NXOpen.AttributePropertiesBuilder'.
Line 209: 'SetAttributeObjects' is not a member of...
If you're trying to selectively open certain components within a specified size range within an existing assembly, then the tool you're looking for does exist, or at least something very close to it:
Assemblies > Context Control > Find Component > By Size (larger than or smaller than)
...once...

The poster in thread561-122048 asked a question which I'll repeat here, since it wasn't answered directly. In the NX Documentation on Large Assembly management, it is recommended to point NX to a text file called "ug_search_dirs.dat" in which you maintain your...

User cowski provided some great VB journals in this old thread: thread561-323165, which allow the setting of bounding box dimensions as Part Attributes. One of the journals he provided allows a user to select their own coordinate system in order to align the bounding box to a...
@Cowski,
As mentioned in my post, we originally tried it with IE 10, not IE8.
Subsequently we've gone back and tried both with IE9 and IE10 and at least with Java version 7 update 5, the main culprit now appears to be the "Next Generation Plugin". Disabling the plugin as described in my...

This is related to an issue covered in a past thread: thread561-301178, in which recent versions of both Java and Internet Explorer prevent use of the search functionality in NX documentation/Help (the problem is: you enter a word into the Search box, hit enter, the spinning "progress meter"...
