Configure NX to use a different editor for journal code

[NXJockey]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if its possible to configure NX to use a different editor when working with journals.

ie. When using 'Menu > Tools > Journal > Edit' rather than the standard NX code editor being displayed, NX will start and interact the code editor of your choice.

Using NX11 if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Nxjockey

You can install the free version of Visual studio express and edit your code outside of NX. You have to install the NX templates but as an added benefit it will give you auto-suggestions while typing code. No sure if you can have it autorun from NX.

I don't think that it's possible to change default editor from NX. You have to open Your code from windows application. I'm using notepad++ to edit my journals. You can also try "code writer".

With best regards

There is an old system variable, UGII_EDITOR but i don't know if it still does anything.
possibly it might be able to switch to the Notepad++ but probably not Visual Studio.
-It's used for more things than Journal code edit.
