    NX bitmap name for the "red asterix" in NX dialogs

    NX11 cam - workpiece, specify blank

    Why are you using blank distance? This looks like it is milled from a block, so you should use geometry or an auto block. Are you specifying it in the operation or the geometry parent? Mark Rief NX CAM Customer Success Siemens PLM Software

    Questions on Learning VB and Snap

    You idea to move from macros to journals is good. Users should not need an author license to run a journal - only the licenses for the functionality used by the journal. For more information, I suggest looking at the samples in the UGOPEN folder, searching the knowledge base in TAC (formerly...

    NX9 - Journal code glitch? or system glitch?

    As you learned, the problem was not destroying the builder. It helps me to think of the builder like a dialog in the UI. Commit is like Apply, and Destroy is like closing the dialog. Mark Rief NX CAM Customer Success Siemens PLM Software

    NX Drive Method Menu

    Go to Help > Log File, and look at the "************** Licensing Information **************" Options missing from the Drive Method drop-down menu are due to the license, not a check-box. Mark Rief NX CAM Customer Success Siemens PLM Software

    NX Drive Method Menu

    It looks like you are using an old SHOPS license bundle. This version of NX CAM had limited functionality at a reduced price. SHOPS was retired a long time ago, and CAM Express is probably the closest we offer today. To see all the drive methods, you need to upgrade to a current multi-axis...
