We've modified the seed parts, but I'm not sure how to go about setting the default color of the imported part. There aren't any bodies within the seed part, so nothing I can set the display properties on. The background color was easy though. I should also note the original question is part of...
Hello all,
I'm trying to write what I thought would be a quick and easy NXOpen program to batch STP->NX conversions. We wanted a few other things such as changing part and background color that the translation tool doesn't provide. I'm having quite an issue trying to use the NXOpen methods to...
I realized that shortly after writing the code to get it. Any tips for speeding up bounding box generation? We are wanting a fully automatic system that basically checks each axis, and uses many iterations to locate the smallest box. I have written a program for Siemens NX that does with and it...
I tried switching through all of our licenses but same issue. I was actually doing a rewrite of the old bounding box program that is floating around on the net. I managed to produce a much faster and accurate version by utilizing the Inertia workbench instead of manually creating planes and...
I've looked everywhere for the Extremum command but cannot seem to locate it! We have access to the GSD studio, but it doesn't appear in the wireframe toolbar, or in the insert > Wireframe menu. Has the name been changed within the UI? I can still utilize it through a macro, so I don't believe...
Well I solved on of my problems right after posting. I had forgotten that internally CATIA doesn't always use 0 indexing, so changing the for loops to begin on 1 properly returned the objects. Still can't figure out why you cannot see the functions running in a CATIA window though.
I am writing a small program to automate creating Jpgs from CATIA part captures. I had previously written a similar program in VB.net, but we are now transitioning to C#. I seem to be having a lot of trouble simply getting objects from many functions, and it seems like my program isn't fully...
If anyone is curious, it seems like the registry settings live here:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Siemens_PLM_Software\Common_Licensing]
"NX_BUNDLES"="NX12100N"http://www.eng-tips.com/
We recently started upgrading to NX9 and noticed that the familiar UGS_LICENSE_BUNDLE environmental variable is no longer used. Internally, we have a custom program written to display who currently has licenses, and toggle buttons so users can easily select an unused license. Previously, new...
Typically, drawing the smallest possible box involves setting up a coordinate system on a corner that you believe is on the same plane as one of the sides of the smallest possible box. We used to run a GRIP routine similar to the one that Joyce provided, and it works well if you set up a CSYS...
Mickey, that menu will allow you to change the default program that launches when you double-click a file. We are trying to add a right-click context menu to .prt files so you can easily change the unit type. Using your instructions would associate .prt files with the conversion script, so you...
Having recently done this just last week I just want to add that the "File Types" menu that is present in Windows XP no longer exists in Windows 7, therefore you cannot directly access the Advanced menu required to setup Shell integration.
I did some searching around and it appears the this...
make sure you click the box that appears at the bottom of the window when you open the help file. CHMs run in a protected mode now and if you don't allow them the proper priviliages you'll experience the problem that your having.
Sorry, I misunderstood this from your previous post: "I want to learn just one."
The VB is not too difficult, though many methods use the factory-pattern and can feel very tedious. The easiest way to get started is to fire up the journaling toolbar and hit record, do some stuff, then view the VB...
