journal to get nx version

[multicaduser]

NX8.0.3.4
NX8.5.1.3
Native

I know how to do this with grip, but in trying to upgrade to newer tools I'm looking for a different way to get the version of NX being run into an expression or attribute. Can this be done with journals or other included tools? It's most likely embarassingly simple but the doc's haven't been installed by IT........yet.

Thanks in advance.

Depends on what level of detail you require. If all you need to know is the major and minor versions
[ul][li]NX 8.0.3.4: major = 8, minor = 0[/li][li]NX 8.5.1.3: major = 8, minor = 5[/li][/ul]
then you can use:

Dim majorVersion As String = theSession.GetEnvironmentVariableValue("UGII_MAJOR_VERSION")
Dim minorVersion As String = theSession.GetEnvironmentVariableValue("UGII_MINOR_VERSION")

It gets a bit trickier if you need to differentiate patch levels (MR's and MP's). One journal that I've seen saved the NX log file to disk then parsed the log file to get the info.

Thanks cowski, that's exactly what I was looking for.
