Hello guys,
I spent a lot of time trying to get NX_Mass in assembly and also for subassemblies.
After doing a lot of research and combining multiple ideas from different forums and gtac samples i managed to write a NX command that will parse all the components of an assembly and set NX_Mass value equal to the one displayed in assembly navigator(weight kg).
This value can also be called in drafting title blocks using <WRef1*0@NX_Mass> .
I have tested it on NX managed but i think it also can work on native.
In case you guys have ideas to make it better, i'm open to suggestion.
Get your mass gentlemen.
You might get an error if you have multiple assemblies open in same time,but the command will still work.I am working on fixing that.
using System;
using NXOpen;
using NXOpen.UF;
using NXOpen.Utilities;
/*This code is wrote in C#.
Compile and add the new .dll as a command in NX.
The code was tested and implemented in NX 11.0
For questions or suggestions you can contact me at ionut.bilibou@adacomputers.ro
