Hi,

I would like to select objects on a drawing sheet based on their location on the sheet. Is there a way to code this in an NX journal?

For example define a selection box from (0,0) to (50,100) and select everything within that box.

Thanks,
Jeff

Revisiting this, since I had to put it on the back burner earlier, but now I'm trying to figure it out again...I know there is SelectScreenPosition which is an interactive function...is it possible to trick NX into getting the screen position programatically?

I also saw that what I am trying to do is considered part of the 'multi-select' rules, but again, I don't see any way to do this without manual input.

Any suggestions or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
