Measure components of an assembly journal 1

[Derwood785]

Hi everyone.

I am looking for a journal that can measure the components of an assembly. The journal would need to process each component of the assembly and measure the solid body found on layer 1, obtain X, Y and Z values and assign them to the part attributes. I have found a journal that looks like it could do the job in thread561-389240 written by cowski. I would like to change the solid body search to find the solid body only on layer 1. I have false bodies in the part file that I want to avoid measuring. I am not sure about how to do this.

Thanks in advance

If you are using the "AskAllBodies" function found in the linked thread, you could check the layer that the body is on before adding it to the list:

Function AskAllBodies(ByVal thePart As Part) As List(Of Body)

    Dim theBodies As New List(Of Body)

    Dim aBodyTag As Tag = Tag.Null
    Do
        theUfSession.Obj.CycleObjsInPart(thePart.Tag, _
            UFConstants.UF_solid_type, aBodyTag)
        If aBodyTag = Tag.Null Then
            Exit Do
        End If

        Dim theType As Integer, theSubtype As Integer
        theUfSession.Obj.AskTypeAndSubtype(aBodyTag, theType, theSubtype)
        If theSubtype = UFConstants.UF_solid_body_subtype Then
            dim theBody as body = utilities.NXObjectManager.Get(aBodyTag)
            [highlight #FCE94F]if theBody.Layer = 1 then[/highlight]
                [highlight #FCE94F]theBodies.Add(theBody)[/highlight]
            [highlight #FCE94F]end if[/highlight]

        End If
    Loop While True

    Return theBodies

End Function

Is there a way to add this function to the program that you posted? That program already adds the values to the attributes for me.

Thanks

Thanks for the post. With only a bit of work I was able to get this going. This will be a time saver for us. Thanks
