    How to Use Block styler (.dlx) with Knowledge Fusion classes (.dfa)

    It works a bit different (easier?) with BlockStyler. You define a KF class that extends the %ui_comp class. Your class can then define dialog blocks using instances of %ui_comp_??? classes. Its hard to describe the entire details of how to do it here, but I'll attach an example class file of...

    Start a new session from NX Open?

    I can't say if the sessions objects are unique or not, but I would not rely on the Tag to tell them apart. If you open 2 interactive NX sessions and create 2 parts, one in each, the objects in those parts could have the same Tags (I believe). So I think the Tags for the session object could also...

    Best way to delete component instance and its Assembly Constraints

    Thanks Joe. I'm mainly programming in Java these days so dabbling in C++ is 'frustrating'. Could you give me a hint how to convert an array of ComponentConstraints to an array of NXObjects? I presume I could iterate over the array I have and copy each one into a new NXObject array, but there...

    Best way to delete component instance and its Assembly Constraints

    For those of you that might be interested I found a solution. First some background.. We have a library of functions written in C. With the introduction of NX8.5 and Assembly Constraints the C code can no longer provide all the required functionality. To save having to rewrite the whole thing we...

    Best way to delete component instance and its Assembly Constraints

    In the past removing a component instance using UF_ASSEM_remove_instance() automatically removed any Mating Conditions for that instance. However since moving to NX8.5 (and using Assembly Constraints) the Assemby Constraints do not get deleted using this function, instead they are left in the...

    Journal - select start, end and center point of edge

    Are you talking about an interactive program (BlockStyler)? The SpecifyPoint block has a property SnapPointTypesEnabled that allows you to limit the point selection to things like "Arc Center", "End point" etc. Graham Inchley, Systems Developer, Sandvik Coromant. www.sandvik.com HP EliteBook...

    VBA Macro(UG) to rename each Operation with its Tool name

    Oops, my bad! GetParent() returns the tool group object, so you need to get its name. It should look like this: Dim counter As Integer = 101 For Each Op As String In Opnames theUfSession.Ui.SetStatus("Renaming Operation:" & OP) Dim operation As CAM.Operation operation =...

    VBA Macro(UG) to rename each Operation with its Tool name

    So your code should look like this I think: Dim counter As Integer = 101 For Each Op As String In Opnames theUfSession.Ui.SetStatus("Renaming Operation:" & OP) Dim operation As CAM.Operation operation = CType(WorkPart.CAMSetup.CAMOperationCollection.FindObject(Op), CAM.Operation) Dim...

    VBA Macro(UG) to rename each Operation with its Tool name

    You haven't stated what language you are using, my example code was Java. If you look in the documentation for NXOpen.CAM.CAMSetup.View you'll find that the machine member is called MachineTool in C#, VB and C++. Ganesh is right though, post some of you own code and it'll be much easier for us...

    create a menu display various data entries without using UI STYLER?

    Using UISTyler or BlockStyler the best I've come up with is to design the dialog with the maximum number of instances of whatever controls you might want to add (eg Double input box) and simply hide some or all of them. Then when you want to add a new Double input, unhide one of the hidden ones...

    VBA Macro(UG) to rename each Operation with its Tool name

    Plugin for NX Open

    create a menu display various data entries without using UI STYLER?

    I understand you can build dynamic BlockDialogs with SNAP, but I've never used SNAP. As for C/C++/C#/VB/Java I think you're out of luck. Instead you have to create your own custom dialog from scratch. Depending on the language this might be WinForms or something else. We mainly develop in Java...

    NXOpen automating changing background colour and graduation

    OK, it seems I was a bit hasty saying you could just call the Background methods directly. To set the background type this is what I did: View workView = theSession.parts().work().views().workView(); Background bg = theSession.parts().work().views() .createBackground(workView, true)...

    NXOpen automating changing background colour and graduation

    Display in this case is just a package, not an object, so you just use the Background class by specifying the package hierarchy: NXOpen.Display.Background However, looking at the Background class, it states: Represents a Background. Background defines how background pixels are displayed. The...

    part versioning rules
