I need to delete a named groud on a specific sheet
I manage to delete a named object:
ufs.Obj.CycleByName(theName, aTag)
But like this I delete all objects with that name on all the sheets.
I need to limit this to a specific sheet.
Who can help me with this?
re: delete group on sheet
What version of NX?
What if the members of a given group are located on different sheets? Do you want to delete only the members on the given sheet?
Thanks for the quick response
Thanks for the quick response!
Sloppy:(
It is in VB for NX7.5 and up!
All the members of the group are on the same sheet.
re: delete group on sheet
Once you find the group by name, test one of the members to see what sheet it is on. If it is on the sheet of interest, delete the group (including members).
The code below is taken from the GTAC solution site, and it written by Amy Webster. The code will return the drawing sheet that a given object resides on.
' This function will work for:
' an object which "Resides on drawing" or is "View Dependent In" a DraftingView
' a DraftingView
' a DrawingSheet.View
' Returns Nothing for all other (ie. model mode) objects
Function AskDrawingSheet(ByVal theObject As TaggedObject) As Drawings.DrawingSheet
Dim theView As View = TryCast(theObject, View)
If Not theView Is Nothing Then
Dim sheetTag As Tag = Nothing
Try
theUFSession.Draw.AskDrawingOfView(theView.Tag, sheetTag)
Return NXObjectManager.Get(sheetTag) ' the drawing it is on
Catch ex As NXException
Return Nothing ' it is a model view
End Try
End If
Dim viewName As String = Nothing
Dim status As Integer = Nothing
Try
theUFSession.View.AskViewDependentStatus(theObject.Tag, status, viewName)
Catch ex As NXException
Return Nothing
End Try
If status = 0 Then Return Nothing ' it is a model mode object
Dim viewTag As Tag = Nothing
theUFSession.View.AskTagOfViewName(viewName, viewTag)
Dim viewType As Integer = Nothing
Dim viewSubtype As Integer = Nothing
theUFSession.View.AskType(viewTag, viewType, viewSubtype)
If viewType = 0 Then Return Nothing ' it is view dependent in a modeling view
Dim drawingTag As Tag = Nothing
theUFSession.Draw.AskDrawingOfView(viewTag, drawingTag)
Return NXObjectManager.Get(drawingTag) ' the drawing it is on!
End Function
How to get member of group
I'm trying to test some member of group to see what sheet is it on (using previously posted function which works on me). But I don't know how to get that member of group (actually drawing group). I thought of trying something like members=myGroup.Members.Get, but even if that would work, I don't know what class whould be the variable members, because Drafting Group consists of various types.
Thanks for help.

I test the sheet it belongs to it like this, but it doesn't work for sole groups...
Dim symbolSheet As Drawings.DrawingSheet = AskDrawingSheet(partObject)If currentSheet.Tag=symbolSheet.Tag Then
Dim objects1(0) As NXOpen.DisplayableObject
objects1(0)=partObject
Dim editSettingsBuilder1 As NXOpen.Annotations.EditSettingsBuilder = Nothing
editSettingsBuilder1 = workPart.SettingsManager.CreateAnnotationEditSettingsBuilder(objects1)
editSettingsBuilder1.InheritSettingsFromPreferences()
Dim nXObject2 As NXOpen.NXObject = Nothing
nXObject2 = editSettingsBuilder1.Commit()
editSettingsBuilder1.Destroy()
End If

re: group members
I have some code that reports all the groups in the work part and how many members are in each group. The .AskGroupData method returns an array of tags that represent the group members. You can use the NXObject manager to get the objects as an NXObject or TaggedObject; from there you can query the underlying object type with .GetType and cast it to a more specific object type if needed.

Thanks for your help
I worked with your advice and finished the code with .AskGroupData method and made it work.
Cheers.
