NXOpen Selecting machining drive surface

[Spico]

I am using NX5 and trying to automate a number of modelling and machining operations using NX Open. I am programming in vb.NET and am struggling with machining using a multi-axis variable contour operation.

I am able to create the operation and fill most of the parameters for the drive surface, but can't find a way of defining or selecting the actual drive surface itself.

Does anyone know of a way of doing this within NX Open?

Hi there

I haven't used VB for CAM yet but I've been using Open C for many years. The function that works there is
UF_CAMGEOM_append_items(); The geometry type is UF_CAM_drive. I'm not sure if this is similar for VB but maybe it will point you in the right direction anyway.

Good Luck
