Engineer Meet NX Journaling

Journal is a powerful tool in NX/Unigraphics that allows common Engineering routines to be automated. This website is being designed for the Engineer with a modicum of programming knowledge who desires to create journals in NX/Unigraphics. We will rely predominately on the coding learned from Visual Basic to create our journals. If you are a complete novice to programming, you may find it best to grab an easy Visual Basic(VB) book from your local library and familiarize yourself with the basics code writing before attempting to create your own journals.

NXJournaling: No problem, here's a journal that lets you select a tube and adds up the lengths of the defining sections

Clean up flat pattern for NC processing

Clean up sheet metal flat pattern

Here is a journal submitted by user hppianoman. The intended use is to clean up the sheet metal flat pattern before performing a DXF export for further processing. The journal performs the following steps:
  1. Rename the "flat-pattern" modeling view in order to remove the random number NX puts on the end.
  2. Replace the current view with the flat-pattern view as the "work" view.
  3. Select all lines and arcs of the flat-pattern and copy them to the clipboard.
