How to select group?

[JinT4191]

Hi Eng-Tips!

I need some help in journaling, I need a selection of groups. Does anyone of you know how to make a selection where you can select several groups? I need the groups to make different plots.

What version of NX?

NX8.5!
The problem is, when I record it, it writes out the usergroupIds which I don't know where to find...

Can you post your recorded journal, or at least the relevant section?

Sure

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen

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

Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim workSimPart As CAE.SimPart = CType(theSession.Parts.BaseWork, CAE.SimPart)

Dim displaySimPart As CAE.SimPart = CType(theSession.Parts.BaseDisplay, CAE.SimPart)

Dim usergroupIds1(0) As Integer
usergroupIds1(0) = 1
theSession.Post.PostviewApplyUserGroupVisibility(687, usergroupIds1, CAE.Post.GroupVisibility.ShowOnly)

Dim usergroupIds2(0) As Integer
usergroupIds2(0) = 2
theSession.Post.PostviewApplyUserGroupVisibility(687, usergroupIds2, CAE.Post.GroupVisibility.ShowOnly)

Dim usergroupIds3(0) As Integer
usergroupIds3(0) = 3
theSession.Post.PostviewApplyUserGroupVisibility(687, usergroupIds3, CAE.Post.GroupVisibility.ShowOnly)

Dim usergroupIds4(0) As Integer
usergroupIds4(0) = 4
theSession.Post.PostviewApplyUserGroupVisibility(687, usergroupIds4, CAE.Post.GroupVisibility.ShowOnly)

' ----------------------------------------------

End Sub
End Module

This was what I recorded when I clicked on all the groups with the function 'show only'. Now I need a selection of these groups.

In the API reference, look up the CreateUserGroupFromEntityLabels Method. It sounds like it may be what you need.

Returns a usergroup handle that may be used in UserGroup* calls and in PostViewApplyUserGroupVisibility

Thanks for your help! But with this method you would create a new group out of entities wouldn't you? But I only want to select the groups I already created. Do you know any method how I could recall the usergroupIds?
