UDO Name

Before creating a UDO in a part, you must first define its class. The class needs a class name and a "user friendly" name.

Class name must not match any existing NX object name, and should be unique to your application to avoid conflicts with other applications' classes.
Friendly name doesn't need to be unique, but should be descriptive to avoid confusing end users.

The method to create a UDO class is CreateUserDefinedObjectClass, found on UserDefinedClassManager.

' VB
myUDOclass = theSession.UserDefinedClassManager.CreateUserDefinedObjectClass("Sample_VB_UDO", "Sample VB UDO")

// C#
myUDOclass = theSession.UserDefinedClassManager.CreateUserDefinedObjectClass("Sample_CSharp_UDO", "Sample C# UDO");

// C++
myUDOclass = theSession->UserDefinedClassManager()->CreateUserDefinedObjectClass("Sample_Cpp_UDO", "Sample C++ UDO");

// Java
myUDOclass = theSession.userDefinedClassManager().createUserDefinedObjectClass("Sample_Java_UDO", "Sample Java UDO");
