I just found that out myself. We used Vericut at one point, its a pity, because the .ply export gives much cleaner triangles then the .stl, due to the fact that you can set the size limit. I wish stl export had the same option.
I am trying to work with NX 6 and/or 8 using the .ply(polygon file) export, but I cannot seem to do anything with it as the header is not correct. I cannot seem to find any documentation on the .ply file type and NX. Any help would be wonderful. I've tried opening in Geomagics and MeshLab...
I'm writing some VB to import a .stp file, but I would like to name the body as they are imported. Is there any way to do this with the Step203Importer class? Maybe I am overlooking something obvious but I do not see any way to easily name the imported body. Other then "searching" and naming it.
This has been a long term issue going back to version NX4. This has been tested out in NX5, 6, and 7.5 with the same results.
Replicate the issue by creating a complex .stp file, import the file into nx, make edits to the model using Boolean operations. Now create a drafting view of the...
Yes, I know how to make arrangements, but arrangements from what I see, cannot be automated? I dont want the user to have to select the arrangement every time...
Is it possible to have arrangements work through expressions, suppression by expression, or by loaded feature? Automating wise, it seems that assembly constraints are limited.
You can create a mass of components and constraints and the components currently active will display the constraints...
thanks both of you for your reply.

These tables are being automated by expressions, using PTS. So the drafting text becomes unsuppressed by expression when a check box is selected on the interface. There are about 50 notes, some of which are automatically turned on and off based on...
Updated with a picture so maybe someone can have a better understanding.
I have multiple tables like this with a single cell:
(- = table)
-
-
-
-
-
-
each table had a dimension from one to the other, that when the note is disabled, it compressed the table into the one above itself, and the...
So I have come across and issue with table borders. I have created a bunch of tables that collapse, that are invisible, but when all of the tables are collapsed on top of each other, it puts a small point, equal to the color of the table prior to it being invisible. Is there a fast way to...
Mark,
I found an example that works, but only for number expressions. Is there a way to setup workPart.Expressions.FindObject and .value to look for strings as well?
This is an example I am currently using. I made reference to the location of the excel file as it is used multiple times, making it easier to change the file location if need be.
Expression[tab]Formula
EXCEL_LINK[tab]C:\Folders\Notes.xls"
NOTE1_IN[tab]1
NOTE_1[tab]if(NOTE1_IN =...
Not the internal, you can use an external spreadsheet just fine though, but in my case I that will not work as many users will be using this one spreadsheet at any given time.
Trying to find information for VB/Journal's so I dont have to ask too many questions; any tips/info? I am trying to figure out how to read/write expression values with VB, I know how to do it for attributes. Thanks for any help.
We are using PTS to create an interface for our desingers to follow, I was hoping I could control what layers were turned on visible as they select items in PTS. Grip is not a likely canidate, for now this process will just have to be manual. Was hoping I was overlooking something simple.
