Hello everyone.

I want extract the precise outline of body (in Assy or Part) such as command Curve->Extract Curve -> Precise Outline using NXOpen/Journal.
Please help if you can.

A quick look in the help files turned up CreateShadowCurves and CreateShadowOutline. I have not used either method (yet), but these are the ones that I would start with.

Hi NXJournaling.
I have written a Macro for the get outline of bodies in Assemblies but there are cases where the macro can not be executed, I would like to try using journaling.
Can you give me an example of a CreateShadowOutline command?
I have learned myself but can not understand the structure of the command.
Thanks very much.
