    Edit UGMaster name from NX using vb.net

    Hi All, I am using a journal to edit an TC item name and description from NX (of the active part). To do this, I am using the call:- theUFSession.UFUgmgr.SetPartNameDesc (database_part_tag, part_name, part_desc) under the UFUgmgr classes This works really well, and is simple as once you have...

    I'm sure this used to work....didn't it?

    Signing NXOpen application.

    Hi all, Firstly I am not a formal code author (enthusiastic amateur), so please be gentle!!! I have been creating snippets of code via NX Journals for several years (mostly to perform repetitive tasks in NX). Recently I have started to compile my code into dll's as i think its a bit more...

    Import data in to Tc

    Hi, Does anyone know if any of the NX utilities can import data in to Teamcenter as datasets other than NX parts. I have several hundred ACAD datasets which I need to pull into Teamcenter as dxf/dwg datasets, but under a regular item / item revision which is used for regular nx parts...

    Deformable Assemblies

    Here's and interesting one....... I have used deformable parts for years, so am fairly comfortable with creating and using them. I now have a scenario which has me thinking........ We want to create a 'template part of a tube, with a fitting on either end'. The fittings are standard parts in...

    All, Its got me scratching my head...... I am checking a job, and can see co-ordinates in some drafting views..... they don't print or plot ect, and I assume they are some kind of reference to the hinge line for the projected view. I cant seem to upload a picture, but they display as:-' YL0.0'...
