Disable self-intersecting face error

[Luigi]

Hi,

is it possible to disable the "self-intersecting face error "message of a boolean operation?

Really I need to disable it inside a dll written in visual basic with visual studio.

Thank you

Luigi

as @JimB says in this post Disable feature error messages

quote "Any message box like this that is displayed when running an NX Open application is a bug."

Report to GTAC.

Possible work arounds

Run as extrenal if possible.

Set Update options to UF_MODL_UPDATE_ACCEPT_ALL

[Luigi]

Could you give me an example visual basic code to "Set Update options to UF_MODL_UPDATE_ACCEPT_ALL"

Thanks 

Luigi

I use Open C,not sure with other language's

UF_MODL_set_update_fail_option(UF_MODL_UPDATE_ACCEPT_ALL);

And reset later

UF_MODL_set_update_fail_option(UF_MODL_UPDATE_NO_OPTION);

from the header files

/******************************************************************************
Sets the current fail option in case an update failure occurs. This
allows the user to specify the update behavior in advance, should an
error occur in the middle of a modeling update. It would be as if a
user in interactive NX had selected the UNDO, SUPPRESS,
SUPPRESS ALL, ACCEPT_ALL or INTERRUPT button in the Edit 
During Update dialog.

The user can also set a variable of UGII_UPDATE_FAIL_OPTION before running 
an NX Open API and set it to any of the values defined in UF_MODL_update_option_e.

Environment: Internal  and  External

In the .NET docs look for SetDefaultUpdateFailureAction

[Luigi]

I found the example I asked for:

Dim ufSess As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()
ufSess.Modl.SetUpdateFailOption(UFModl.UpdateOption.UpdateAcceptAll)

This solution seems to work partially because the error number I recive seems to be less than before but it doesn't solve completly.

Does someone get another idea?

[agrivas]

Without an idea of what you are trying to do its a little hard.

Another option is to set  UF_MODL_UPDATE_UNDO

Then use UF_MODL_ask_update_undo_feat() and UF_get_fail_message() if UF_MODL_update() returns an error.
