recursive

The following journal is an extension of the code presented in the processing components tutorial.

This journal will recursively walk through the assembly structure and prompt for a "find number" to be added to each component as an attribute. Subsequent runs of the journal will ignore components that already have a unique find number attribute.

Occasionally you will want to process all the parts in a given assembly. The journal in this tutorial will recursively step through your assembly structure allowing you to process each part. If the code is run as provided, it will open a listing window and print the name of each component and the current active arrangement if it is a subassembly. This journal was developed on NX 7.5 native; therefore if you are running Teamcenter (or other PLM) some changes will need to be made.
