    How to Fetch the Cue/Status Bar information of NX using NXOpen

    Hi Maddy02, No, not to my knowledge. The status line can vary based on the mouse pointer location in the graphics window and what is under it at the the time and the preselection sensitivity settings etc. (so even with the mouse at the same location (over the same object(s) the answer can...

The item ID and Item name must match and must not contain...

    seed part issue

    Ehaviv, For the second journal to work the master part revision must already exist. Was a "save part" performed after the first journal(and before the second journal)? HTH, Joe

    seed part issue

    Ehaviv, (if the original question remains...) The creation of a non-master would need to be changed from your example encodedName = "@DB/" + partNumber + "/" + partRev to include the "specification" for file type and the dataset name (of the non-master). encodedName = "@DB/" + partNumber +...

    Journal ListingWindow question

    Hello Ehaviv, It isn't clear (to me) if maintenance pack MP7 (or mp8 or mp9 or mp10) is installed in addition to the 11.0.2.7. maintenance release. There were listing window changes delivered in MP7. (Just making sure that this seven 11.0.2.[highlight #FCE94F]7[/highlight] is not being...

    NX Journal lock

    Hello Jurajkomacka, If the goal is to provide an NX journal without allowing the source (.vb) file to be read, the following command builds a dll binary file which is launched by "File-> Execute-> NXopen". Creating Class Library vbc /libpath:%UGII_ROOT_DIR%\managed /t:library /r:NXOpen.dll...

    Adding the unmanaged assembly to the import operation can infer the component parts for the import operation. You have to add the additional files to the import list that are intended to be non-masters and identify which master they will relate to and what relationship type to use (usually...

    NX JOURNAL - UTD POSSIBLE?

    Hi Kenja824, The advice that Tomas offers is good - UTD has not been improved as NX gains new functionality - using Ribbon bar customization is a better long term solution. A possible interim strategy would be using a macro with UTD to launch the VB journal. HTH, Joe

    NX9 - Orient to Isometric and export Jpeg

    Hello Kenja824, NX journals have access to modeling and drafting functions without needing to switch applications.

    NX9 - Orient to Isometric and export Jpeg

    Hello Kenja824, My suspicion is that error is part specific. Does this occur for a newly created part (ideally using file-> New -> Blank)? The system defined "Isometric" view should not have any rotation and the line mentioned is not attempting to rotate the view orientation. -joe
