    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
