Journal opening draft

[Lars1978]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a journal which opens the draft of a model. I'm working native with master model drafts.
This draft is in the same directory and has the "_dwg1" addition to his name.

Can anyone help me with this journal, I wont be the first to have this question

Hi,
Try this code.

// NX 9.0.3.4
//
using System;
using NXOpen;

public class NXJournal
{
  public static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    Session theSession = Session.GetSession();
    Part workPart = theSession.Parts.Work;
    Part displayPart = theSession.Parts.Display;
  
    string partPath = workPart.FullPath;

     string partFolderPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(partPath);

     string partName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(partPath);

     string draftFileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(partFolderPath, partName + "_dwg1.prt");

            if (System.IO.File.Exists(draftFileName))
            {
                PartLoadStatus status;
                theSession.Parts.OpenDisplay(draftFileName, out status);
                status.Dispose();
            }
            else
            {
                NXOpen.UI.GetUI().NXMessageBox.Show("Part not found", NXMessageBox.DialogType.Error, draftFileName + " does not exist");
            }
    
  }
  public static int GetUnloadOption(string dummy) { return (int)Session.LibraryUnloadOption.Immediately; }
}

Hi,
Copy this code and paste it in empty text file and save the file with .cs extension.
If you get any error upload the error message snaps.

Thanks,
