Hi there,
I have made up a nice journal which should help making a "face lift" to vintage UG and NX files as far as appearance is affected: Background colors, body colors, color palette, vizualization preferences - especially selection and pre-selection color.
My aim is to have this run against all parts that are currently opened in an NX session so it cycles all parts in the session. But this has 2 donwsides:
1. I cannot make use of MACRO_playback (see the commented call @ line 115) to just set the color palette to system standard (a function which is not supported by the jounal recorder, so I used macro instead) so I used a code to open the .CDF file and set all colors accordingly,
2. For whatever reason, when it comes to setting the vizualization standards, especially selection colors, my journal has only effect on the single part which was the display part when I start running the journal.
I have tried to make NX switch the display part while cycling through the parts but maybe there's something wrong at that point (@ line 49ff).
Here's my code:
' Dieses Programm...
' - stellt die Hintergrundfarbe für schattierte Darstellung ein auf den NX1899 Standard
' - orientiert das Modell auf "TRIMETRIC", passt es ein und
' richtet die Anzeigefacetten neu aus (wirksam ab NX1899)
' - Startet ein externes Makro, das die System-Farbpalette lädt
' Den Pfad für das externe Makro unbedingt an die Implementierungsumgebung anpassen!
' - Prüft alle Flächen aller Körper im Part auf zulässige Farbe
' und ändert unzulässige Farben auf 129
' - und noch mehr (tbd!)

End ModuleIf you want to run it, dont' forget to change the filename in line 135 to an appropriate value. I have tested on NX1907 but most of it should also work in older NX versions.
I'd like to figure out how to set the color palette to system standard using vb and how to have all the parts visualization preferences set correclty, not just the 1st part's.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Udo
