Part properties

[Montzi]

Hello

I'm seeking a method to handle user defined UG part attribute values with UG GRIP. Has anybody done that ?

 

[cowski]

What exactly are you looking to do? Simply edit existing attributes; add, edit, and delete attributes; or something else?

 

[looslib]

Yes. Our drawing formats are populated and edited from a GRIP program and attributes.

I'm trying to read values of those user defined partfile attributes and then write them out to text file.

 

[looslib]

Here is some code snipets:

Reading an attribute to a variable:
attvar = &attvl(part,'attribute_name',iferr,l00
Replace attribute_name with your attribute. You can use an array in a loop.

Create a text file:
create/txt,10,'text_file_name.txt',iferr,err0:

Writing a line of data to a text file:
Format mask
fmt1='#@@@@@@@@ #@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ #@@@@@@@@@@@@'
write/10,using,fmt1,attr1, attr2, attr3
file/txt,10

Hi guys

I am lokking for function to get UG part attrubutes using VB6. I tried to make C/C++ program to get attr. using API but I failed on that. I don know how tyo do that.

Can you help me pls?

Tnx

UG does not support VB up through NX2. NX3 may change that.

Your only methods for getting atributes out of UG are GRIP or C/C++.
