Java API Documentation for NX 7.5

[jacobcloninger]

Does anyone know where I could find some sort of documentation for the APIs? I have found all of the .jar files in the program files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you looked in the NX Help Library? If not, try going to...

Automation -> NX Open -> Open for Java

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

When I try to go to the NX Help Library, I receive an error message stating "Cannot find the HTML file." Any ideas on how to solve that?

Have you actually installed the Help Library? The Help Library is an additional kit which needs to be installed in addition to NX itself.

It doesn't appear so. Could point me in the direction to get that problem solved? I don't see anything about installing the help library on the installation disk.

I also tried googling nx 7.5 help library and was taken to this site

http://www.viewmold.com/ug_html_files/mainlibrary.html

I then tried to go to the Open for Java link mentioned earlier and I am getting a 404 Error. All of the other links seem to be working except for the one that I need.

The Help Library comes on a separate media (disk) than does the NX install kits, so you will either need to buy a 'subscription' to the Documentation media, or using your webkey ID, you could go to the GTAC support site and download a copy of the help library from there.

Sorry to keep badgering you about this, but do you know where the download can be found on the GTAC support site?

It's in the same place where you download new versions of NX from:

http://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/gtac.shtml

Once at the site above, expand the option on the left titled 'Download & Upload Files' and select 'Download files' at which point you will be asked to enter your webkey ID and password. Once inside the ftp site, select in the column titled 'Products', the first option (link) titled 'All Siemens PLM Products'. After a few seconds, you will be presented with a matrix of product options where you will select the one titled 'NX/Unigraphics NX' and then a list of the OS versions of NX which are available to you (based on your license agreement with Siemens PLM Software). If there is more than one option offered, select the relevant one and there should be another folder titled 'Documentation'. Expand it and you should get a list of all of the valid versions of the NX documentation that you are allowed to have access to. In your case you should find at least one entry for NX 7.5 documentation (there may in fact be multiple entries, one for each of 10 different languages, English being the one with no additional descriptor in the zip file's name). Select and download the appropriate zip file (be warned that this may take awhile, as the file is over 1.7Gb in size, hence the reason why we offer an optional 'subscription' service to receive these files on physical media) as well as the corresponding README file, which will outline the procedure for installing the Help Library files.
