Hello all,

In NXUG it is not possible to delete holes from two different solid bodies at a time.So may I know is there any other ways to delete the holes if not is there any macro or journals for the same.

More information about the situation is needed before I can give any solid recommendations. It sounds like you want to delete holes from two different bodies at the same time.

  • are both bodies in the same part file?
  • are the bodies parameterized (the hole is a feature) or dumb solids (geometry only, no feature history to work with)?
  • are the bodies 2 different components owned by the same assembly file?
  • what version of NX?

The "delete face" command only works on one body at a time. If you want to create a journal to delete all the holes, I'd suggest this approach:

  • allow the user to select the hole faces to delete
  • cycle through the selected faces, using the "delete face" command on each in turn. Alternately, you could group the selected faces per body and delete all the faces of a given body in a single "delete body" command.
