Custom Functions in NX

[Kenevil]

Can I create a custom function in NX? Maybe a function isn't the proper method but I want to apply the following calculation to multiple sketch dimensions with unique inputs.

function

Input:
n - desired length

Output:
constant*round(n/constant)

Thanks,
Scott

I do not know if I understand your question, but Have you tried using expressions?

 

[LayKanae]

with this command you can set up operations and use Boolean for comparison

You can see this command with Ctrl + E

You can use expreesiones to sketch, wipes, patterns and more.

Yes I've used expressions. Assume "constant" is an expression. In my sketch, I have to type the follow formula...

Constant*round (12.6/Constant)

12.6 is just a number I made up but it will always be different. I want to create a formula so I can just type. ..

MyFunction (12.6)

It's like a reusable expression or formula

Kenevil,

User-defined functions can be called from the NX Expressions dialog.
See [URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/nx/10/nx_api/#uid:hsg_lang_hsg_ufun[/url] (Example #2) to get started.

HTH,
Joe

Kenevil --

One of the examples I posted in your other thread related to this topic is actually a rounding example similar to this. Take a close look rounding_examples.dfa inside the zip file.
