NX Journal Deselect

[TheWenger]

I'm writing a journal that applies a transparency to already selected solids. Once I run the journal though, I want to deselect the bodies. The only thing I've been able find is

theUI.SelectionManager.RemoveAllFromSelectionList

, which requires a SelectionHandle as one of the parameters. I can't hardly find anything about using a SelectionHandle and can't find a way to initialize one. Is there a way to deselect everything without having to worry about using a SelectionHandle?

Have you tried:

bodyObject.Unhighlight

This seems to 'deselect' objects.

That's a start. The object types I'm working with are from the DisplayableObject class which doesn't have that method though. NX doesn't like casting a DisplayableObject or a Component to a Body either.

Unhighlight is a method in the DisplayableObject class. It should work with all objects that inherit from DisplayableObject. I just used bodyObject as a generic variable name.

Ahh there it goes. I was trying to apply it to an array of DisplayableObject objects and it recognizing System.Array as the superclass. I just had to apply it to each object in the array via a For loop.

Thanks much.
