"Exact" Bounding Box vs Bounding Box

[3dr]

I've got an Bounding Box Journal that Cowski posted a while back in production but it's not always accurate.
Come to find out that there is a more accurate version referred to as the "Exact" Bounding Box function.

Can the journal I have be easily edited to become an "Exact" Bounding Box tool?
Or could / should the "Bounding Body" feature that's now in Native NX be fronted in the Journal and then used for the measurements rather than the source body?

Doing it this way would at least provide the user visual feedback on the quality and orientation of the measurement box.


Anyone want to weigh in on this one?

I'm not much of a coder!

Have you not tried "Create Box" command in NX 10 and later? No journal needed.

I think you're referring the "Bounding Body" feature I mentioned in my post?

That's what it's called in Version 11. "Create Box" doesn't return anything in the NX command search engine
