Fond farewell to GRIP, hello Knowledge Fusion

[Pondering]

The time has finally happened when I must leave my friendly world of GRIP and migrate to KF.

I am now staring from scratch and teaching myself!!!! (Again)

The online documentation does not initially seam as good as GRIP with no worked examples & very little in the way of example code or explanations.

So I am starting simple (always the best way I have found)

I have thus created a simple block which is inserted via UI menu, changes size, colour, position etc.

The next thing I tried was to create some KF which would let me select an existing spine and insert a predefined number of points on it....... I am absolutely stumped!!!

Does anyone have the time to create me a quick example, or have something similar so that I can learn from some existing code? Or anything which would help me make sense of this strange new language?

Cheers in advance.

Pondering with a headache.....

just want to throw in a second - some worked examples and generally more complete (any?) documentation would be very useful (necesary?) to learn KF...

This is just a simple example on how to get started with the structure.

http://plmexchange.net/getting-started-with-knowledge-fusion/

#! UG/KBE 17.0
DefClass: singleSelection (ug_base_part);

# Function: SingleSelection Example


# -----ALLOW USER TO EDIT VIA TOOLBAR/MENU-----------
(Name) APPLY_STATE: Edit;
(String) APPLY_NAME: "singleSelection";


(list parameter) singleSelection_LIST: {"1.3", "2.3", "3", "5.8"};
(string parameter) singleSelection: "0";

(string) selected: singleSelection:;

(number) convertedValue: MakeNumber(singleSelection;


This is a simple example of a KF application with a UI/Styler dialog. You'll need to create the UI/Styler dialog since I can't attach it here.

NX has a KF IDE called ICE, I think it is in NX4 maybe NX5.

To select one item from KF that can only be a curve or edge use:

(List Parameter) Sel1: {};
(List) Sel1_Mode: {Single};
(List) Sel1_Mask: { Curve, Edge};

Attach this to a button in a UI/Styler by:

creating a button with a name of Sel1, set the entire dialog callback to REFRESH.
