Hi Suresh,

Thanks a lot.

In fact I was looking for the work part instead of displayed part but I was able to edit the journal


Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpen.UF

Module NXJournal
Sub Main (ByVal args() As String)

Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim theUI As UI = UI.GetUI()
Dim theUfSession As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()


'Insert code here
Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work
Dim lw As ListingWindow = theSession.ListingWindow
lw.Open()

Dim is_family_template As Boolean
theUfSession.Part.IsFamilyTemplate(workPart.Tag, is_family_template)
lw.WriteLine("Part Family Template: " & is_family_template.ToString())

Dim is_family_instance As Boolean
theUfSession.Part.IsFamilyInstance(workPart.Tag, is_family_instance)
lw.WriteLine("Part Family Instance: " & is_family_instance.ToString())




End Sub
End Module

Where /what is the requirement ?

The simplest way of seeing if a component is a part family member, is :
info-part-nav_y8ienw.png


Then , when i see the above, I RMB the component - Properties - Parameters - Part Family - Information.

That's pretty close to what the Clone assembly does.

Hi Tomas
Unfortunatly no.
Did you try with member family inside your assemby ?
Those parts are lost during clone opération :(

Click to expand...

That is a setting in the teamcenter integration preferences if I'm correct (if you are working in Teamcenter)

Hi,

I have modified my journal to scan the assembly but the result is not correct: Family member are not recognized [mad]

Find herewith an assembly for test

Thanks in advance for your help

In the following line

theUfSession.Part.IsFamilyInstance(workPart.Tag, is_family_instance)

workPart.Tag should be part.Tag

Also, make sure you open the listing window before writing to it.
