Issues with moving an object to a layer
Forums:
I am having a really hard time getting a body to move to layer 255. I create a new component within an assembly, and mirror a body within the new component. Then I attempt to move the original body to layer 255 and it will not work.
If my assembly is more than 2 levels deep, then I can make the component's parent my display part, and it appears correctly. While I do these operations, I have the highest component available in the assembly my display part. Does anyone have any ideas why this might happen?
I attempted to grab/clean up some of the code snippets I've tried to accomplish this, they are below.
Dim objs As DisplayableObject = CType(bod, DisplayableObject) objs.Layer = 255 objs.RedisplayObject()
displayPart.Layers.ApplyMoveToLayerToOwningParts(255, arrBodies)
Dim objs() As NXObject
Dim lay As Integer
Dim prt As Part = CType(obj.OwningPart, Part)
Dim objs() As DisplayableObject = {CType(obj, DisplayableObject)}
prt.Layers.MoveDisplayableObjects(lay, objs)↧

Batch STL import, save as .prt
Forums:
Hi! I'm brand new to journaling. I'm just starting to read through some of the tutorials here so sorry if this is a super easy question to answer.
I have a folder of STL files that I would like to convert to .prt files. I'd like for the .prt files to have the same name as they originally had as the STL file, and for it to save to the same location that the STL file is in (or, in new folder with "_PRT" appended to the original name of the folder). I would also like to perform some operations on the files before saving them such as changing the color, transparency, and fitting it to the screen.
I found this:
http://www.nxjournaling.com/content/process-files-directory
Which seems very useful and very much like what I am trying to do. Any tips on modifying this code to do what I am trying to do?
Thanks!

Get input curves of extrude feature
Forums:
I am trying to get the input curves from an extrude feature. I've managed to grab the feature, and create an extrude builder from it. I can access the section but I am not sure how to go from there to curves. Does anyone have any ideas? Recording a journal gets me some of this code:
Dim extrude1 As Features.Extrude = CType(wrkPrt.Features.FindObject("EXTRUDE(6)"), Features.Extrude)
wrkPrt.Features.SetEditWithRollbackFeature(extrude1)
nxSes.UpdateManager.InterpartDelay = True
Dim mirrorCurve1 As Features.MirrorCurve = CType(wrkPrt.Features.FindObject("MIRROR_CURVE(5)"), Features.MirrorCurve)
mirrorCurve1.MakeCurrentFeature()
If Not wrkPrt.Preferences.Modeling.GetHistoryMode Then
Throw (New Exception("Create or edit of a Feature was recorded in History Mode but playback is in History-Free Mode."))
End If
Dim extrudeBuilder1 As Features.ExtrudeBuilder
extrudeBuilder1 = wrkPrt.Features.CreateExtrudeBuilder(extrude1)
Dim section1 As Section
section1 = extrudeBuilder1.Section

Finding a newline in a tabular note and replacing it with a space

Editting Extrude Feature and Handling Failed Edge Blend Update
Forums:
Hello,
I am attempting to edit an extrude feature, and a reference edge from the extrude feature gets destroyed, as does the Edge Blend used later on in the part navigator tree. I anticipate this happening and have attempted a few things to suppress the error but can't seem to get it suppressed.
If TypeOf fts(index) Is Extrude Then
For Each ftr As Feature In fts(index).GetChildren
nxSession.UpdateManager.SetUpdateFailureAction(ftr, Update.FailureOption.AcceptAll)
Next
ExtrudeModifier(fts(index), fts(index - 1), fts(fts.Length - 1)
End IfIn the ExtrudeModifier, there are some code calls I follow from the journal I recorded, does anyone know if these are the right calls to make?
nxSession.UpdateManager.InterpartDelay = True
prevFtr.MakeCurrentFeature()

Using Journal to Access Feature Attributes in PostBuilder
Forums:
I use feature based machining in NX (find features). I am programming an EDM drill. I use NX only for positioning and my post spits out all of the necessary macro commands for the machine. I need to find a way to access the "depth" attribute that is associated with the feature. There is no post builder variable associated with this value. I can see the value under the features tab in manufacturing so I assume this value is stored somewhere. I can also alter this value. Does anyone have any experience with setting post builder variables with journals/API? Thanks!!

access all features in a group
Forums:
Hello,
I'm trying to create a script to project all sheet edges from a group of surfaces that are in a feature group onto a surface.
I'm strolling to access the features inside a group.
I know the group name as a string and the destination surface name as a string. Now I'm trying to loop through all the features inside the group, and if the feature is a sheet project its edges.
I was trying to use:
.AskSetFromName to access the group and them use
.IsFeatureASetMember or .AskAllMembersOfSet to loop through the group and project the sheet edges if the feature is a sheet.
But I can't use any of the group functions, i always get a errors.
hope you can help me
cheers

Update Datums after creating constraints
Forums:
Hello,
i am creating a plant which contains of components.
Constraints are used to connection the separate components with each other.
I used a DatumAxis to identify, when i have to reverse the constraints.
So my problem is, after connect to components with each other, the datumaxis didn't not update his data. He still has the old values in.
Only after the action-call he will update his new Values.
The follow methods i have already try, without success:
Update.DoAssemblyConstraintsUpdate
Update.DoUpdate
Update.MakeUpToDate
Has anyone an idea?

setting theyunit As CAE.XyFunctionUnit !
Forums:
to all
a really stupid question.
I want to "force" the 'theyunit' of an AFU record to be exported in 'g'. How do I set it up? I think it's an enumeration. I can the check the value when I select the record as follows
theAFUData.GetAxisDefinition(theAbscissaType, thexunit, theOrdinateType, theYunit)
theLW.WriteLine("DEBUG: Y unit: " & theyunit.ToString)I then do a check
If theyunit.ToString.Contains("Acceleration") Then theyunit = NXOPEN.CAE.XyFunctionUnit.AccelerationGs
'any acceleration record will be forced to 'g', any other type is ignored and left as-isThe following appears to be correct for some type of records but I did a test on a 'PowerSpectralDensity' and it doesn't pick it up!
Thanks

Draftingviews aling to selected view
Forums:
Hi all together,
I tried to create a tool for my drawings. There are some isometric views on the page.
If I need to rotate the modeling view of on draftingview all the other views should also turn around in the same way.
So I need to aling all views to one selected.
To turn around I change orientation in style of the view.
I recorded a journal to get a solution but I always get an error by changing orientation of workview.
Can somebody help please.

[.NET Journal] Working with objects
Forums:
Hello Community,
I spent over 10 hours of my life trying to get working with NXObjects generated by a feature builder on NXOpen Journal with VB code.
To be more simply I would like to explain my example:
1. Insert a Datum CSYS --> done;
2. Create section 1 --> done;
3. Extrude the section 1 --> done;
4. Remove parameters of the extrusion 1 --> done;
5. I see Body(1) on the Part Navigator, as expected;
6. Create section 2 --> done;
7. Extrude the section 2 --> done;
8. Remove parameters of the extrusion 2 --> done;
9. I see Body(2) on the Part Navigator, as expected;
Body(1) and Body(2) are two sheet bodies and my goal is to merge these two unparametrized sheet bodies in order to obtain only one merged sheet with the sew command.
To do this I recorder a new journal with the sewbuilder flow but it only works with the Ctype(FindObject...) command. When I edit the line to identify the two bodies Body(1) and Body(2), the journal stops working.
I declared B1 as Body(1) in this way:
RemoveParametersBuilder1.commit()Dim B1 As NXOpen.Body= RemoveParametersBuilder1.GetObject()
In the same way (changing the idex 1 with 2) I declared B2 as Body(2).
What is wrong? I don't find anything to be helpful.
Thank you in advance,
