Hey everyone,
I am hoping somebody might be able to tell me if I can register the NXOpen DLL? There is a utility in Visual Studio called regasm.exe. I believe it is short for register assembly. Essentially what it does is, it creates a COM Library (component library) that can be used for Microsoft Office Applications to reference the DLLs in there coding environments. Obviously this would be most useful in Excel. I am not sure if this can be done though. Any thoughts?
Hello,
I would need help to develop a code that would open a specific component in an assembly. The code would pass all the components that are open in an NX session. He will have to find the component that has the attribute (String) '' MASTER = YES ''. Once the part is found, NX will have to open it "Make Display Part".
If the code does not find a component with the attribute (String) '' MASTER = YES '', an error message should appear and do nothing. Also, an error message should also appear if it finds more than one component with this attributes and doing nothing.
I want to create a code similar to the '' Workpiece '' and '' Cavity Layout '' command from MoldWizard.
Thank you !
My program are simple, the release file is a main.dll contains
(1) A .NET library class (*.dll) to call a Winform (Form1)
(2) Winform (Form1) with Exit Button
I would like NX release my main.dll one I hit the Exit Button on Form1
The issue:
+ If I include the GetUnloadOption in (1).NET linrary class, then it calls the Winform for a few seconds and everything is unloaded --> I cannot use the features on my Winform
+ If I include the GetUnloadOption in (2)Form1 (and even called it from Exit Button). NX still holds my Main.dll
Any idea to resolve this issue?
Public Function GetUnloadOption(ByVal dummy As String) As Integer
'Unloads the image immediately after execution within NX
GetUnloadOption = NXOpen.Session.LibraryUnloadOption.Immediately
End Function
<code>How to force all opening dialogs (like the selection dialog) to be closed?
I just would like to have a function when it runs, it can detect all opening dialogs and close all of them. Any help would be appreciated.
What I would like to do is to create an isometric view of body(1) of an assembly which is visible on layer 101 at a ratio of 2:1 (This requires making all layers invisible except the 101).
I tried to record the journal but it is lengthy and returns too many errors when I edited some things.
Any help is appreciated.
I have used Visual Studio 2015 in the past to write and compile NXOpen applications. The IntelliSense available in the IDE is very helpful. I am considering using VS Code to write (not compile) NXOpen applications but I am not sure if the NX namespace can be added to it when programming in Visual Basic. In Visual Studio you add a reference to the needed NX dlls and IntelliSense picks up the namespace. Any thoughts on this? Have any other IDEs been used just for editing journals that utilize IntelliSense?
Hi All,
Does anyone worked on selecting a point or curve in NX using winform UI in C#? I'm well aware of Block and UI styler and all the options. But as we have constrains using both the options, I need your help in creating a winform UI to select a point or curve in NX and pass it as a tag in code for further use. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Dear experts,
any please suggest me any API for Finding component by component name with some name contains in assembly.
I want a VB.Net code (In VB) to get the Stock/Routing bend or control point coordinate in excel sheet. Can anyone help me out.
I am attempting to write a journal using VB which incorporates XDocument to export an XML file. When I write the journal in Visual Studio, the XDocument is valid. I have tried: Imports System.xml, System.xml.linq, and System.xml.linq.xdocument. But when I run the journal, I get a syntax error: Type 'XDocument' is not defined.
How can I define an XDocument? Is it possible with NXOpen?
Hi,
Happy New Year to all...
How to do the dimensioning using API ?
I tried running Journals, what I see that, it takes the reference of the curves and then creates the dimensions,
So does it mean, that I have Name all the edges in the model from which I need to take the dimensions ? ( sounds laborious)
or the other I can think of, is to make manual sketches in the model and put them in the Named views and then use those sketches in the drafting sheet, but still I have to Name the curves, Do I ?.
I could control the dimensions of the sketches with the same values which run the model.
I am bit confused on how to approach this feat.
any sort of guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
To rename datum features I've been trying to write a journal based upon information I've found on this forum.
I'm trying to rename a datum feature only when it has a specific attribute1 and rename it using an attribute2 that this datumplane already has.
This is the code I have until now:
Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Const attributeTitle As String = "GSDDIR"
Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work
Dim lw As ListingWindow = theSession.ListingWindow
lw.Open()
For Each temp As TaggedObject In workPart.Datums
If TypeOf (temp) Is DatumPlane Then
Dim dPlane As DatumPlane = temp
'check for attribute
If dPlane.HasUserAttribute(attributeTitle,NXObject.AttributeType.String, -1) Then
dPlane.SetName("TEST")
End If
End If
Next
lw.Close()
End Sub
Public Function GetUnloadOption(ByVal dummy As String) As Integer
'Unloads the image when the NX session terminates
GetUnloadOption = NXOpen.Session.LibraryUnloadOption.AtTermination
End Function
End Module
I'm not so experienced with writing journals so any help is very much appreciated.
is there any way to check drawing is created as per standards or not?
for example,
as per my custom standard
dimension text height should be 7 .
center mark parameters should be 5,3,5.
etc.....
i need to check these tasks by playing a macro.
Thanks in advance.
Hi All
I made a little script to create two Printscreens, for this I have to switch application. ( Because I don't know how to select / show the MCS for our Front and Backside programm)
I start the script always from manufacturing.
If I change inside the script to an another application than manufacturing I get a error message:
NXOpen.NXException: NX error status: 896084
If I go back manually to manufacturing and rerun the script it works fine. Does anybody have an Idea?
With best regards

Hi,
I'm trying to write a journal for weight calculations.
In the past I was able to write some basic journals with great help from this forum. This time what I'm trying to achieve is a bit more complicated and I'm struggling to get started. Would be great if someone wants to give me some tips!
This is what I want to achieve:
I want to iterate through an assembly and, for each sheetbody get the centroid (geometric center) and the area and write them to a list.
Centroid: can be obtained using the command "mass using curves and sheets" using the thin shell option. Recording this action in a journal unfortunately gives me nothing to work with.
Area: can be optained using the face analyses command.
This info I want to use for some basic calculations:
mass (area*density_attribute*thickness_attribute) each sheetbody has its own attribute
Total COG (sum (mass*cog))/total mass
My goal is to get a results log containing:
Mass for each NX_part
Mass for the NX_ASM
COG for each NX_part
COG for the NX_ASM
First I want to get it to work fo a single part and then make it work on assembly level.
Any directions are very much appreciated!
I have a script which pause while it shows a message box.
MsgBox("Continue?")
But after a second it also shows the "Work in Progress" dialog with a Stop button.
Everything works well if I don't touch the Stop button.
But if I hit Stop the script fails.
How can I avoid this?

Hi,
For NX, I want to centralize several codes that I created for template import in an single button (code).
So, for the import of an "A" format, I have a code called "Import_A.vb" and it works very well. I have the same thing for the "B", "C", "D" and "E" formats.
I would like to make a code (start.vb) which opens a window with 5 choices in the form of a checkbox. If the user chooses the "A" format, then "Start.vb" will have to start "Import_A.vb" and "import_A.vb" will perform the import on format "A".
I do not need to make the file "import_A.vb", I need help to create the file "Start.vb".
You can help me ?
Best Regards!
