I have spend a long time searching this forum and I have found some code that exports the coordinates of points (thread561-314774). However, this journal does not export the name as given in the part navigator of NX. The code I use is:
I would like to use this code to export the xyz coordinates of several CSYS which I added myself together with the name I give it in NX (in the part navigator). However, to export a name I have to change the object properties of the CSYS and add a TITLE "NM" with VALUE "desired name". How can I export the name without doing this?
I've found the following code to export the name, but I cannot get into the coordinates. So both options only give me half of the solution.
I hope someone can help me with this problem?
