Log files from NX journals ?

[Toost]

I am running a journal created by a colleague who has left the company.
The Journal replaces drawing borders. On some drawings the journal will crash due to it selecting something "illegal".

The NX logfile shows nothing of what the Journal does.
is there a way to get a logfile ?


Regards,
Tomas

A journal can write to the NX logfile, but NX does not automatically log what happens during execution. You can add some code to the journal to make it write to the log file and document what is going on.

'create a reference to the log file
Dim lg As LogFile = theSession.LogFile

'write something to the log file
lg.WriteLine("Toost's journal")

The following journal writes much of what it is doing to the NX log file:

look for the "lg.WriteLine" calls and compare them to what you see in the NX log file after execution.

Hej Toost,

Yes adding logging/console output is the classic way of debugging programs. But you do not get a error line number and stack trace when the journal fails to execute?
