GRIP File for NX layer conventions

[grollox]

Hello All,

I have a grip file that have cribbed from a previous post on this forum that I would like to modify - the script is to automatically re-layer certain model features to meet a customer demand. Our customer has a heavily modified list of layer categories, not just the standard points, lines, arcs etc. Each of those categories has an ENT_TYPE designation, but I don't know where or how I would find these designation numbers.

Thanks in advance,

Graeme.

If you go to the 'GRIP Reference Guide' found in the NX Help document for the NX Open GRIP programming tools, the second to the last item on the index page is titled 'Object Types'. Select this item and you'll get a complete list of all of the object types and sub-types that GRIP supports. That being said, please keep in mind that GRIP is basically an all but obsolete programming tool and while it has been maintained so as to continue to support whatever functionality was originally developed for GRIP, it has NOT been updated nor enhanced in any major way for 10 years or more and thus there may be new object types which have been introduced in more recent versions of NX which GRIP has no knowledge of and therefore will not be able to control the layer status of those newer object types.
